Years later, Haider is still incomparable..
I have seen a few modern and classic films, but none captured the nuances of Gertrude and Hamlet's relationship like these two.
Tumblr media
The intensity of their Oedipal conflict manifested as a tumultuous love between mother and son - full of pain, betrayal, and anger! Utterly unparalleled, so exquisite!

Guys, so I'm playing Minecraft with my sister, and I have this horse that I named Haider, and whenever I leave him unsupervised for even like 2 seconds, he tries to kill himself. Whether it's walking into a cactus, falling in the river, or walking into fire, he finds a way. I manage to save him, but still. This is how I know I made the right decision with his name.

do y'all ever think about how tabu plays women who have affairs and end up indirectly causing the death of her husband in like. three films?
1. andhadhun - has affair, her lover panics ans shoots the husband
2. maqbool - girl actively convinces lover to shoot her hubby so they could love openly
3. haider - her confiding in her brother-in-law inadvertently causes her husband's death and also somehow she ends up marrying brother-in-law soon after hubby funeral HMM

Plot: Indian Revolutionary Udham Singh wants to avenge those lost in Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. 
Starring: Vicky Kaushal, Banita Sandhu, Amol Parashar, Kristy Averton, Shaun Scott.
Notes from me: The acting done by Vicky Kaushal as the titular character is absolutely phenomenal and just tugs at your heartstrings, also the last 40 minutes are absolutely tear jerking.

3. Haider
Tumblr media
Length: 2h 40 minutes
Genre: Drama, Thriller, Action
Plot:  An adaptation of the Shakespearean play Hamlet set in modern day Jammu & Kashmir. Haider returns to Jammu & Kashmir to find closure for his father’s death, but the states’ politics situation overpower him.
Starring: Shahid Kapoor, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon, Irrfan Khan 
Note: A great movie which does not just portray Kashmir as this “beautiful picturesque scenery” but the harsh political reality of this fractured state, which is not easy to portray. This, in my opinion is one of the best acting performance of Shahid Kapoor’s career. Tabu as always SHINES (she should be stored in a gold vault istg), Kay Kay Menon steals the show with his perfectly sinister portrayal of Haider’s Uncle.    
4. Kapoor & Sons
Tumblr media
Length: 2h 12 minutes
Genre: Drama, Slice-Of-Life
Plot: Two brothers Arjun and Rahul return home to Conoor to visit their ailing Grandfather. During this stay the entire family discovers just how dysfunctional and fractured their relationships are. 
Starring: Fawad Khan, Sidarth Malhotra, Rishi Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shah, Rajat Kapoor
Note: Albeit a slow 20 minutes in the start, the movie really engages you and makes you uncover the aspects of the Kapoor family with them and makes you realise just how broken and tired of the façade of happiness they truly are.
6. Guzaarish
Tumblr media
Length: 2 hours
Genre: Drama, Romance 
Plot: Former renowned magician Ethan Mascarenhas is quadriplegic and expresses his guzaarish (request) for euthanasia.  
Starring: Hritik Roshan, Aishwariya Rai, Aditya Roy Kapur
7. Andhadhun

Length: 2h 18 minutes
Genre: Thriller, Crime, Comedy
Plot: Akash, a piano player pretending to be visually-impaired, unwittingly becomes entangled in a number of problems as he witnesses the murder of a former film actor
Starring: Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, Radhika Apte, Manav Vij
Note: TABU!!! Her portrayal of Simi, the wife of the film actor is so good and entrancing. Ayushmann in the film’s climax shines. The plot twists are chefs kiss.

In the play Fat Ham, Juicy, a young queer black man, is confronted by the ghost of his father during a barbecue, who demands that Juicy avenge his murder. Juicy, already familiar with Hamlet's plight, tries to break the cycles of trauma and violence.
literally the best play i've ever seen in my life and yes that includes shakespeare's. won a pulitzer prize. a celebration of black queer love.
Set in India in 1995 during the (at the time) peak of the Kashmir insurgency, university student Haider returns home to learn that his father has disappeared, arrested for aiding terrorists. With no knowledge of where his father is now, Haider desperately searches for answers, until a strange man tells him that his father has been executed; due to Haider's uncle Khurram's betrayal.
Visceral. Good. Unfortunately still very relevant to current events (besides other violence going on, Kashmir has also worsened recently) but so it's a good way to bring eyes to this conflict. Hamlet is Muslim. STELLAR reimagining of characters and plot points from the original. Great acting. The supporting characters are clearly all considered individually and really thought out. Tabu kills it as Gertrude (Ghazala). Hamlet kills Ros and Guil (Salman & Salman) with a rock. Ophelia and Horatio are one character. The play within a play is a song. It's really great.
watch the play within a play song ('bismil')
