OMKARA continued

Some of the memorable scenes from Omkara

1. Bhaisaab and Omi have finished the pooja and Omi has to declare about the new Bahubali. He selects Kesu Firangi over his brother Langda Tyagi. It’s duty of Langda to announce the decision for the public who is waiting religiously near the riverbanks. He goes and shouts Kesu Firangi. Everyone is joyous and they start celebrating.

The scene is shoot on a vast canvas. The temple is on a small hilltop on the riverbank. Thousand of villagers are waiting eagerly for the new Bahubali. Really amazing scene. Superb camera work and conceptualization.

2. Kesu was not expecting to become Bahubali. When he is declared Bahubali, he is shocked and his eyes say it all. The humble and grateful looks are very natural. Vivek gets 100% for this scene.

3. Langda Tyagi is heart broke after announcement of new Bahubali; he was very much sure of becoming the one. He breaks the mirror and brands himself with the blood. He has declared himself the Bahubali. It’s the start of the revolt or rather conspiracy.

4. Bhaisaab tells Langda to stop the train by pulling the chain. TC comes. Bhaisaab tells him to turn the train, coz Omi and Langda have changed their plan and they have to go back.

5. Langda and Rajju are sitting on the bridge over the river and drinking. Both are sad after the turn of events. Pain can be seen in their eyes, so is the determination to take revenge. Everything is fare in love and war.

6. last scene where Omi kills Dolly and then himself. Dolly’s body is on the big Jhula in the room while Omi is lying below it. and the Jhula is moving. Dance of the death or smile of death? Such a imaginative work of camera.

These and many more. Will write about them some other time.
