Haider
(Great Adaptation....Awesome Performances .....Must Watch)
My Rating : 8/10.
As everyone know that "Haider" is an adaptation of Shakespeare's well known drama "Hamlet". For those who know the story of Hamlet there are very few changes in the story line,but there is a twist at the end...and i'm sure you will be stunned at the end.
And for those who don't know the story of Hamlet,it doesn't matter...so just chill.
The background of the film is set on the situation of the Kashmir in the mid 90's.But its actually not about the situation in Kashmir,it is a family revenge drama,so don't expect to watch some indo-pak action in the movie,though the movie talks about the disappearance of the militants in the custody of Indian Army.
In the first half hour of the movie it is hard to understand what the movie is all about...(again this is for those who don't know "Hamlet").Once you have got the idea about the story,you just get into the flow of story and it is the combination of good written dialogues and "Sher&Shayari"
Writing:-I must say both Basharat Peer & Vishal Bhardwaj has done good job converting Hamlet in Haider.Awesome dialogues they have given "to be or not to be" a new meaning with "Hum Hai Ki Hum Nahi".
Direction:As always Vishal Bhardwaj is master for Shakespeare's adaptation,this is his third Shakespeare adaptation and he has done marvelous job with this one too.
Performance:
Shahid Kapoor:-Who is portraying Hamlet aka Haider in this movie. In the some parts of the first half he felt little confused within him self about the character,but in second half he just flew away,this is probably his best performance after KAMINEY.
Tabu:-She plays mother of Haider.She has once again proved her self as a brilliant actor,she is very convincing in the roll of a loving woman who just want LOVE in her life. Tabu look convincing with her character.
Kay Kay Menon :-He tries to give his hundred percent for the character,though till end we kept filling that something is missing in his performance.overall he has done a good job.
Irrfan Khan :-He is one of those actors who can easily portray any mysterious character. His roll may be short but he has done a tremendous impact on audience in that short time.
Shradha Kapoor:-Shradha is playing Arshi,Haider's love interest with whom Haider can share any secret.She has done convincing job in as Arshi.
Narendra Jha:-As the key character of the story he also gave his best as Hiader's father.
Music:-As all Vishal Bhardwaj movies the music of this one is also given by him self.and he has done awesome job with this one too. My personal favorite is "So jao.." sung by three grave diggers in a "Barfila Kabristan".I just loved it.
Overall I will give this movie 8/10. This my personal opinion,your's can differ from mine.
ALSO THIS IS THE FIRST REVIEW I HAVE EVER WRITTEN IN MY LIFE.
