This week we talk about Haider, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starring Shahid Kapoor, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon, and Shraddha Kapoor.  

This film is an adaptation of the Shakespearean play Hamlet, set in the backdrop of the Kashmir Conflicts of 1995. We discuss the brilliant performances and direction. We particularly discuss how brilliantly they adapt the story to an Indian background, and discuss individual scenes that we thought were interesting ways of adapting the original story. We also discuss the music of the film and how it added to the storytelling and atmosphere. Check this movie out for another brilliant performance by Shahid Kapoor!
