Synopsis
Omkara (2006) is the Indian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM — Vishal Bhardwaj's transplant of Shakespeare's Othello into the gun-and-gravel politics of rural Uttar Pradesh. Omkara "Omi" Shukla (Ajay Devgn) leads an outlawed gang and has just carried off Dolly Mishra, the woman he loves, from her family home.
The threat grows from inside his own circle. When Omi names the eager Kesu (Vivek Oberoi) as his lieutenant instead of the cunning Langda Tyagi (Saif Ali Khan), the snubbed man sets out to poison everything Omi trusts. Drop by drop he plants doubt about Dolly's faithfulness, pulling his own unwitting wife Indu into the scheme. The jealousy moves slowly and lands like a blade.
The film picked up a fistful of Filmfare awards, and Saif Ali Khan's turn as this small-town Iago is still rated among the great screen villains of Hindi cinema. A long 155 minutes of coarse village dialect, blood and betrayal — no palm-tree song numbers in sight — this is Bollywood at its most brutal. Stream Omkara (2006) online on iFILM.
