Omerta

I had higher expectations maybe from Hansal Mehta and Rajkumar Rao. The movie is basically a character study. Even though people might take it and use it in the wrong sense, but such movies too need to be made. Rajkumar rao was good, maybe a bit less intense than i expected. The british accent was very inconsistent and poor, and that i something which is important in this film.

Make no mistake; although Omerta is a full feature film, Hansal Mehta has filmed the movie in documentary style. The movie doesn't have any drama and is straight to the point. With a run time of 98 minutes the movie is compact and hard hitting. The highlight of this film is the performance of Rajkumar Rao. His preparation and research for playing terrorist Omar Saeed can be easily seen. He played the calm and violent scenes equally well. Rajkumar Rao took the murder scene of Daniel Pearl to the next level and it is one of the most terrific murder scenes ever filmed in Bollywood. The problem of Omerta is that the movie never looked like taking off and the pace of the movie was very linear just like in a documentary. The strength of the movie is its authentic setting, hard hitting performances and the good background research by its filmmakers.

When there is Hansal Mehta on Director's Chair and Rajkumar Rao is in lead role, then what more do you want other than watch it. This is fully a Rajkumar Rao Show. Rao completely transformed himself into Omar Saeed Sheikh.

Technical Departments should also be praised as well. It's editing, lightening and of course BGM, there's some scenes where only BGM and Rao's expression does it all.

WATCH THIS FOR EXCEPTIONAL RAJKUMAR.

One of the very few movies that make you fall in love with the art of story telling. A perfect blend of natural acting, cinematography, music and showcase of real incidents doing complete justice to the main plot.

Love to see Bollywood's standard is increasing by making such top level movies with pure acting and amazing direction. Rajkumar is definitely an A level performer. The entire movie, it's environment and impact is equally appreciable. It shows light on the terrorism and brain washed intelligent terrorist. Music, direction and scenes are intense. The movie is a full package. I can say it's an Oscar level one.
