Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview Rajkummar Rao said that this movie is Hansal Mehta's and his biggest and most important project.
- GoofsIn one scene the main character is drawing points on a map and beside the map, there is a book "The Believer: How an Introvert with a Passion for Religion and Soccer Became Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Leader of the Islamic State" was shown. The book was actually published in 2015 but the film's story is set in the early 90s.
- Alternate versionsIn India, the film was cleared with an A certificate, after a sequence showing Omar Sheikh urinating in prison while the Indian national anthem plays outside, was edited. The national anthem was replaced with a routine background music. Also, his violent sex scene with a woman before embarking on an operation was chopped off.
Featured review
Omerta as the meaning goes deal with mafia and their tactics.The movie is an intelligent blend of real life facts portrayed with great acting performance by Rajkumar Rao which surely puts him ahead of various A-list actors.The movie has a limited runtime of 1 hour 30 minutes but covers almost every dark aspect of the life of protagonist character.Certain scenes from the movie feel so real that they give you chills all over.But the X-factor here is the amazing direction which makes the movie an easy affair for every set of audience despite the confusing & dark theme.You certainly can't expect a positive message or a happy ending from such movies instead they are made for one purpose,to entertain and put light over the facts we mostly are unaware of.You can argue about the negative aspects of such cinema but you can't overlook the unmatched performances put in by everyone involved.The editing of the movie makes it stand apart from the normal bollywood movie league.From the point it began till it ends,you doesn't lose the connection with the characters.The boldness of the story and audacity to reflect the real image of the world force you to give it a thumbs up without any complains.The strong background score provide a certain pace to the movie and the music grips you with shades of foreign languages.
Well if you have a neck for meaningful cinema this is the best you can choose from the limited options.
