Review:  Few films in India are able to generate much enthusiasm as the film Vishal Bhardwaj did. Least have the ability to polarize public reaction as it is a movie Vishal Bhardwaj. There could be no better example than the national rock-and-roll in 2013 are Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola political satire, a brilliant film that left both amazed and delighted the audience.

Haider, his third adaptation of Shakespeare (Hamlet) after Maqbool (Macbeth) and Omkara (Othello), is likely to suffer the same fate. This film is the story of love, betrayal, despair, loss, politics and revenge against the background of Kashmir. Haider, a simple soul with a straight face student who returned to his home in Kashmir, only to find his life turned completely follows.
Taking Kashmir as the canvas for the adaptation of Hamlet necessary bullets. Kashmir as a problem is virtually untouched since Vidhu Vinod Chopra Mission Kashmir. But as the film, Haider is not really trying to make a point about the situation. Instead, you want to tell us how to live in "heaven on earth" hits you, how it moves, how it can make your life hell can change. This is a documentation of how this tragedy has consumed the lives of the dead and the living. And who better to tell the story of Vishal Bhardwaj.

Vishal Bhardwaj Haider is a carnival of crime where no one is innocent. It aligns a group of characters and absurd situations, but not so far that the cartoon. But he could not imagine hamlet with few owners of video stores that happen to be the biggest fans and imitates Salman Khan are. I could not think of a scene in which the gravediggers are delivered to a song by the group, while ... well, digging graves.

But the absurdity never comes at the expense of the film. It makes the film than he intended: Dark, dark, sad, sad, sick, extremely violent and like everything he does, poetic. The songs are poetic, love is poetry, poetic explosions, deaths are poetic and climate justice to the characters is poetic. No one explores the darker side of human emotion that Bhardwaj, except perhaps Anurag Kashyap (but not so successful).

But while the film may be dark and sad, is not inaccessible. You feel for the characters, both good and bad. Feel happiness, wallowing, their loss and pain. And that's what makes Bhardwaj to build tension as thick as the frozen yogurt. He needs to tighten the legs, leaned on his chair, sit in sustained attention. He made a phone ringing as exciting as a game of IPL.

On the other hand, ambition and indulgence go hand in hand. There are parts where you can feel the director's indulgence. The pace remains in portions, and a working length of nearly three hours, you are essentially tests the patience of the spectators who are not the biggest fans of his previous work.

Shahid Kapoor stunning by the duration of his act. Finally, not wearing a detestable character, jostling across the screen describing the complexity Haider with the necessary character. Probably has reserved all his great performance collaborations with Vishal Bhardwaj (Kaminey in 2009), even if it is not. Tabu is back after a pause screen and is a real treat. Her laughter, her protective of her son, and finally gives up his chance, everything seems real promising. With this kind of talent you can really afford to be picky, I guess.

After a long time, Kay Kay Menon finally gets a character who deserves and character it deserves. It looks fabulous without recharging is absolutely fascinating. His character is not bad so obvious like most villains in other films were made, and plays his role with the perfect amount of subtlety. Shraddha Kapoor not on your nerves like Ek Villain, so it's a win for her. Irfan Khan and Ashish Vidyarthi are impressive in extended cameos.

Vishal Bhardwaj that child to school, which always leads academic in the cricket team, debate team and even organize team events. This is also the type who likes things to do exactly what he wants them to do without outside interference. For this film, he is the producer, director, co-writer (with Basharat Peer), the writer, dialogue and music composer. Not only vision (widely available around the world), but the ability and skills to complicated (much rarer) to perform this type of equipment. He does everything with a snap, never try to make a point or trying to sneak in their own propaganda. It is undoubtedly the number one for the hearing officer to consider.

As I said earlier, Haider probably be met by controversial reactions. It is not to the liking of everyone. The death toll is very high (several organizations in the world that are not buried under) and the film is dark and nervous to the point of excluding people. It is a tragedy of Shakespeare. If this does not interest you, you can look elsewhere for a "bang" for your buck. On the other hand, if this is your kind of movie, you will not find a better way to get three hours of your life.
