AB - Ever since they were first produced, more than four hundred years ago, Shakespeare’s plays have been reproduced and adapted into countless film and TV productions, into ballets and operas and theatre performances across the globe.
The present paper, within a broad conceptual framework, aims to investigate the cross cultural dimension of adaptation of a stage play, written for the Renaissance England, into a 21stcenturyIndianfeaturefilm.
The paper uses Omkara, an adaptation of Othello by Vishal Bharadwaj, as a case study to:(i.) Explore the use of the idiomatic language of cinema in such an adaptation.
(ii.) Posit a re-reading of Shakespeare with the help of local/native signifiers.
