Omkara has one of the most haunting endings I've seen in a movie.

Kareena's Dolly is probably one of the characters that I'll sympathise with for a long time.

I just watched the movie. I know it's been there for ages. Better late than never I guess.

Vishal Bharadwaj really loves his Shakespearean tragedies.

#Omkara #I'm trying to watch all these classics that I've missed #and there's a lot #but I'm trying #this movie's soundtrack is dope #kareena Kapoor #she really is a star #Saif ali khan #plays a chocolate boy and also langda tyagi #ajay devgn #does he actually have range or is just very good at playing these stoic characters #works for him though #vishal bhardwaj

@metamatar @bauliya after posting about the horrors of past generations raising children in their early 20s, I'm a father... at 23. NOW WHAT?

I'm immediately having visions of how my child will do pcmb, crack JEE, and blossom into a beautiful bonsai that will be the envy of sharma uncle. God I'm the most insufferable trash-tier parent already. Call CPS someone.

i can actually afford to go home for the summer to eat all the mangoes like a glutton: safeda, chausa, langda, dussehri, totapuri. and spend time with people i love i guess. but. since im being paid to work in the summer it cant be more than a week. which isnt worth the 36 hours of travel involved. so i will have money. and no mangoes. instead

#also vote. but the opposition is just as anti immigrant #misery posting

[slicedblackolives]

Bollywood Films Based on Shakespeare's Plays

(that I can think of off the top of my head)

((because I'm bored and procrastinating))

(((also my thoughts)))

1) Maqbool (2003) - based on Macbeth

Possibly the best adaptation I've watched of anything in general. The translation into a different culture plus a modern time is seamless. Newer technology is incorporated into the plot devices, prophecies rewritten to be appropriate to the culture and context plus the "witches" are easily believably a part of the story instead of some highly mystical supernatural forces. The kingdom at stake this time is the underworld that was quite active and famously involved with Bollywood itself at the time, brilliant actors in all the roles, and the whole 'Lady Macbeth's children' thing is also leaned into quite well. 10/10 would recommend.

2) Omkara (2006) - based on Othello

From the same direction, Vishal Bhardwaj. Another amazing adaptation, a lot of the foreshadowing and metaphors are expressed through songs, a staple move for Bollywood so it also adapts well into its medium. Banger performance by Saif Ali Khan as Langda Tyagi (Iago). The ending is changed a wee bit as well, but it's highly significant in how it re-attributes agency that has been taken away from female characters in the original texts quite often. In this adaptation the matters revolve around a local election and the politics at play in the village. The cultural setting is made use of here as well characters are given well rounded personalities and motives that gives a new life to the play honestly. 10/10 because I'm such an easy person to please, I genuinely enjoyed this film.

3) Haider (2014) - based on Hamlet

Another one from Bharadwaj, I swear I'll move on to other stuff after this. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark" - I think one of the most important aspect of this adaptation was choosing a setting where the city can be its own character the way Denmark is in the original. In this case, the setting is Kashmir, a valley that has had a bloody and contentious existence. Politically, it is a coveted piece of land where India and Pakistan have both laid their claims. This has led to continuous exploitation, army rule through a special act that allows civil liberties to be done away with and all mistreatment swept under a rug, and Kashmir becoming a battleground where the residents bear the brunt of these political battles. The issue of Kashmir is quite complex, that doesn't even begin to cover it, I will leave that alone for now. Haider is a resident of this valley and his father, a doctor, went missing with no news of him whatsoever. Instead of the ghost of his father he is visited by his father's cell mate, nicknamed Rooh (Spirit) who guides him on how to uncover this plot of people going missing with no news. The film follows the oppression in Kashmir through the lens of Haider while he slowly descends into madness. Ophelia (Arshia) is a journalist, and the play-within-a-play is conducted making use of local theatrical traditions. Great film, definitely worth a watch.

4) Qayamat se Qayamat Tak (tr. From doomsday to doomsday) (1988) - based on Romeo and Juliet (kinda)

The star-crossed lovers story is technically not exclusive to Romeo Juliet. There are quite a few local stories that take the same form too, and it can be seen as a trope rather than a proper adaptation. However, it is credited with a revival of the Bollywood romance film, and is quite an important movie for the genre in that sense. 7/10 idk, personal biases about romance, it's nice though.

5) Goliyon ki raasleela: RamLeela (tr. A Dance of Bullets: RamLeela) (2013) - based on Romeo and Juliet

Talking of Romeo Juliet, this one actually does follow the play as an adaptation. It is set in a fictional village, and the lovers belong to two factions who are engaged in an on-going conflict. Though the film is generally not regarded as a good one, i think it does an okay job of putting the story in a modern context and also uses festivals and cultural omens to tell the story. 5/10 it's not that great

6) Angoor (tr. Grape) (1982) - based on Comedy of Errors

This is a FUN film, hell yeah. Maybe I just have a bias towards comedies, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Makes use of a bunch of running gags, takes common problems of the average Indian household to create comical errors, chock-full of shenanigans. 9/10 I promise it's fun

7) Dil Chahta Hai (tr. The Heart Wants-) (2001) - based on Much Ado About Nothing

This is as such a story about three friends but it's also about three parallel love stories. This is quite a landmark film in Bollywood because of all the taboos it broke through and for being an important bildungsroman film about friendship and familial relations too. There is your Benedict-Beatrice battle of wits eventually turning into a love story. There is also the story of a womaniser who thinks that people talking about what it's like to be in love are exaggerating or outright lying until he falls in love himself. The most controversial part of the film, however, is the third romance, which has a massive age gap between the third friend and his elderly muse. The two connect with each other through common interests, and the friends have a falling out over the relationship. They come together eventually, each having matured in different ways and with a more freeing understanding of human relationships of all kinds. 9/10 definitely watch this one.

Okay that's all I got for now, have fun ✌🏻

[hurricanewindattack]

@bauliya bec of your mango discourse I went and bought a box of langda at eye-watering prices 😤

#thanks for tipping me over the edge though

[ramadoodles]

It's summer and I have such a large spring backlog aaaaa

Mangoes.

First off, here's the painting, because we're back to being an art blog babeyyyy

My first painting in months! Also very appropriate subject for the season, because Akshaya Tritiya has passed and we can finally eat as many mangoes as we want without being judged too much by the neighbours.

For non-mango eaters, some necessary mango context:

1. Mangoes are the best fruit on Earth, and the good ones are only available during summer.

2. There are about a thousand varieties of mango. Every region and state in India has their personal preference, from Langda in Bengal to Raspuri in Karnataka, but they're all wrong and the best mango variety is Ratnagiri Alphonso. (I can and will fight you on this.)

3. The "proper" time for buying mangoes is after Akshaya Tritiya, which is supposed to be the hottest day in the year. Supposedly it's to ensure that we get the best-tasting mangoes which appear later in the season, but rules are a human construct and mangoes are divine. Feel free to buy them whenever.

4. If you thought you could simply buy good mangoes from a store, you thought wrong! You need to know a guy. This guy ideally knows the owners of a few quality mango orchards, and will deliver a crate (or several) of those mangoes straight from the orchard to your doorstep.

5. Once you've acquired your crate of mangoes, wait till they're golden, wrinkly, and (if you chose Alphonso) filling the house with their fragrance.

6. Now it is time to close all the curtains of your house, open up the crate, and consume. (We're closing up the curtains because this is like eating an ortolan- it tastes so good that you need to hide from God and your neighbours while eating it.)

Bon appetit!
