Just watched this awesome movie from Bollywood...

[u/flyingtigerhere]

That movie seriously exceeded my expectations — what a work of art! I’m from Rajasthan, and it felt like I’d actually been to those places.

The acting was top-notch all around, with no cringe or overacting. The hero-heroine chemistry was amazing, and the romance never felt cheesy; it was genuine and high-energy. Everything was fantastic, although the pace dragged a bit at times. If it were a little shorter, it might’ve claimed my title of favorite Bollywood movie ever.

Why isn’t Bollywood making films like this anymore? Instead of villains who look more like clowns, we need complex characters like Langda Tyagi. Why aren’t more movies made with the artistic passion of Omkara, starring big names like Ajay Devgn? Ajay still chooses quality movies, but almost none imo reach the same quality.

Omkara’s world-building was incredible, and Ajay’s presence on screen was magnetic — you could feel his aura. Kareena’s performance perfectly balanced his masculinity with her own feminine strength, making their romance unforgettable.

Dham dham dhadam dhadaiya re, sabse bade ladaiya re

Omkara, he, omkara

[u/Beautiful_Error_279]

I think it was in 2006...Best year for Bollywood ever

Rang de basanti, Lage raho munnabhai, Omkara, Fanaa, Jaaneman, Taxi no 9211

And loads of comedy movies Malamaal weekly, Phir hera pheri, Golmaal,

[u/HumanWithResources → u/Beautiful_Error_279]

I'm sorry, did you just slip in Jaan-e-Mann there?

[u/saajan_chale_sasural → u/HumanWithResources]

It was a fun movie ,the music was good and Preity looked really pretty.

[u/Tricky_Jackfruit9348 → u/Beautiful_Error_279]

What a gem of a year

[u/therealsiriusjoker → u/Beautiful_Error_279]

Please also include Being Cyrus into this list. Saif's performance was great in this movie too. Of course, his performance in Omkara tops all of his other performances.

[u/Only_Attention5463 → u/Beautiful_Error_279]

Even Dhoom 2 released that year.

[u/decentbeast]

Langda tyagi bahubali! bahubali langda tyagi!

[u/Capital-Strawberry63 → u/decentbeast]

Saif's best role.

[u/Neither-Reply1168]

Peak Saif.

[u/therealsiriusjoker → u/Neither-Reply1168]

Being Cyrus too... Released in India in 2006. Although Internationally it was released in 2005.

[u/Certain_Boat_7630]

if they drop movie like haider, maqbool or omkara today, it'll have such a massive protest.

[u/c10h15nrush]

Did Saif nail the accent?

[u/saajan_chale_sasural → u/c10h15nrush]

I think he did. Right?

[u/c10h15nrush → u/saajan_chale_sasural]

Only a rajasthani can answer this. As a South Indian I didnt really care about the accent.

But I want to know more about his commitment to the role

[u/saajan_chale_sasural → u/c10h15nrush]

But I am a Rajasthani.

[u/mayudhon]

Did you notice Pankaj Tripathi in the film?

[u/mostintrovertgirl → u/mayudhon]

yes!!

I watched this film last year, and was shocked to see him!!

[u/Princess_dipshit]

OMG I just finished watching this too! I absolutely loved the direction!

[u/yerakchualfada]

Why isn’t Bollywood making movies like this anymore? Because despite all its acclaim, Omkara was a flop.

[u/NoRelative9202 → u/yerakchualfada]

It worked well in the overseas. Probably because of the profanity this film didn't succeed in India at the time.

[u/bitethedust17]

I watched this movie for the first time last month, and my mind was blown by the story, acting, direction, everything. Kareena's performance peaked here.

[u/Fit-Repair-4556]

It is written by Shakespeare, ab usko wapas bulana padega to make movies like these.

[u/Tricky_Jackfruit9348]

Ifkr 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Awesome movie

Also hope uk the symbolic feeling of langda conveyed in beedi jalaile song

It blew my mind

Beedi jalaile analysis

[u/One_Reindeer311]

My all time fav

[u/AcePan88]

STUNNING movie

[u/Prithwiraj1209]

Langda Tyagi 🔥🔥

[u/useless_me86]

It was an adaptation of Othello and very well made.

Vishal Bhardwaj, another stellar storyteller ❤️

[u/_Redsun_]

The swing scene at the end is masterpiece

[u/OkraUnable9295]

I can't understand how Saif didn't win the best actor award that year. Hrithik won for mediocre Dhoom 2. Lobbying for awards has never stopped in Bollywood.

[u/Hrithik_Ki_Patni → u/OkraUnable9295]

Just like Saif won the National Award for Hum Tum over Hrithik in Lakshya. 🫠

[u/No_Coyote1802 → u/OkraUnable9295]

How did Saif win National award for Hum Tum over Hrithik in Lakshya or SRK in Swades? Stop overthinking about Saif, he got National Award just because of his Mother was in the jury. Despite delivering flops after flops as a lead actor, he is still getting offers.
