When
films transmute William Shakespeare's poetic imagery and the atmosphere
that his verses conjure into re-imagined, re- contextualized visuals,
and not merely reproduce the action with select dialogues, a movie
adaptation of a Shakespeare play can be considered successful. That is
why, thought British film scholar Roger Manvell, Shakespeare often
translates best in what he considered "foreign films". The setting is
one of the reasons Haider, Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of Hamlet,
works. It is true to the haunting ambiguity of the characters' motives
in the original play, Shakespeare's most opaque of tragedies, but the
Kashmir canvas is potent. Bhardwaj's visual intelligence and the
screenplay by Bhardwaj and Basharat Peer, one of India's acute
commentators on Kashmir, his home state, add to the effective
localization. Shakespearean purism aside, Haider is a thrilling film. It
is a film of luxuriant paranoia. It is about Oedipal love. Unlike the
cardboard insurgency imagery or images of damaged beauty that soak most
films about Kashmir, Haider is an unflinching take on the Kashmir
malaise, the tragedy infused with a sense of dark humor about the
ordinary Kashmiri's hopelessness. Compared to Bhardwaj's earlier two
Shakespeare adaptations, Maqbool (Macbeth) and Omkara (Othello), both of
which depended heavily on language and dialogues and used Shakespeare's
stories rather conveniently to propel the plot, Haider is a quieter yet
richer spectacle and a convincing standalone piece. Bhardwaj chooses
bold strokes over gloomy introspection, and in that sense, Haider is in
the tradition of mainstream Hindi cinema. The picturization of songs is
riveting to watch (Pankaj Kumar's cinematography is breathtaking
throughout, and especially in the songs) and the songs are some of
Bhardwaj's best compositions as a music director in recent times. The
melodrama towards the end loosens the narrative and the last half hour
feels like a bit of a drag, again a typical affliction in Hindi films.
The protagonist is far from the melancholy Dane; Haider, which Shahid
Kapoor plays with impressive zest and inventiveness, is more a dashing,
combustible figure than a brooder. Bhardwaj also does away with the
supernatural horror so integral to the original play, and which can be
an easy tool for creating suspense and drama in cinema. The horror is in
the everyday macabre reality of death, loss and waiting, and in the
manipulation of a Kashmiri Muslim's emotions and insecurities. Haider
(Kapoor) arrives in the Kashmiri village he left long ago to study at
Aligarh after his father, a doctor, has disappeared. His mother Ghazala
(Tabu) is romantically close to his father's younger brother (Kay Kay
Menon). Arshi (Shraddha Kapoor), his childhood sweetheart, is torn
between her pro-Indian establishment family and Haider, who is
devastated to see his mother's sudden transformation. His idyllic
childhood with parents seemingly in love is shattered. When Roohdar
(Irrfan Khan), a mysterious man with a limp sends him a message from his
lost father, Haider is on a destructive path of jealousy, hatred,
turmoil and doubt. Central to the story is the relationship between
Ghazala and Haider— a tender as well as anguished bond between mother
and son, fueling the film as essentially an Oedipal drama. The romantic
love between Arshi and Haider is almost a sweet afterthought. The
casting ideas work impressively well. Kay Kay Menon stands out as a
superbly calculating man, the villain in Haider's mind, and Tabu makes a
heart-rending Ghazala. Shraddha Kapoor delivers an earnestly fervent
performance and Irrfan Khan is pitch perfect as a quietly menacing
presence, the only personification close to a ghostly apparition. Salman
Khan is here too, in a deliciously manufactured ode to the Hindi film
hero through Salman and Salman, Haider's friends and a pair of all-round
crooks, an interesting replication of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern from
the original play. Haider is an immensely effective re imagination of
Shakespeare—and the film's biggest triumph is that the provincial, in
this case Kashmir and the characters defined by its reality, shine in a
universal and timeless tragedy
