'Haider' tweet review: Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Haider' is an interesting, convincing adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'

If you've read literary works by William Shakespeare, you've, in all probability, not missed 'Hamlet'. Referred to as one of the greatest works by Shakespeare, the play blends - assassination, revenge, deceit, madness and moral corruption in a manner which is hard to ignore and believe. Considering the fact that it talks about human nature in the most convincing way, even filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj adapted 'Hamlet' into 'Haider'

Directed by Vishal, 'Haider' is set amidst the Kashmir conflicts of 1995, and features Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Tabu, Kay Kay Menon in lead roles.

Will 'Haider' be the best movie version of Shakespeare's Hamlet? Will Shahid Kapoor as an oddly disengaged, and enigmatic Haider do justice to his role as Hamlet?

Divya Pal of IBNLive.com is inside the theater to live tweet the experience.

2:19 PM This is reality. #shahidkapoor, a poet is mistaken for a militant. #haider

2:25 PM Beautiful verses, ittar, phirans,

unconditional love and a peaceful life. Life in #kashmir looks so calm and complete. #haider

2:28 PM Oh no, actor #aamirbashir has put on weight, but acting still remains impeccable. #haider

2:32 PM #tabu doesn't have to prove her acting prowess. That's why a sequence featuring her is enough to explain the success of #haider

2:37 PM Amidst turbulence in #kashmir, #salmankhan finds a mention. Actor's fans imitate his steps, leave viewers entertained. #haider

3:08 PM #irrfankhan aa gaya. Ab ayega film mei maza, just heard someone say in the hall. #haider

3:20 PM The first half of #Haider is slow, but #Tabu sustains viewers' interest. #IrrfanKhan manages to infuse the much-needed suspense

3:32 PM Emotions, turmoil and confusion have been balanced well, making #Haider look in perfect proportion.

3:44 PM #shahidkapoor looks perfect as the enigmatic #haider speaking to locals about the appalling condition of #kashmir

3:53 PM The romantic track #BoondBoond could have been avoided. It breaks the narrative flow. #Haider

3:58 PM "I have lo-vedd you all my life," says #ShraddhaKapoor. This Kashmiri accent seems weird and unreal in #Haider.

4:08 PM Song #bismil shows explaining a story in a few minutes isn't tough. Appreciate the lyricist, singer #sukhwindersingh, #shahidkapoor #haider

4:18 PM Is this #ShahidKapoor? Whether it is entering a deep melancholy or shocking everyone with erratic behavior, he is amazing. #Haider

4:19 PM #Vishalbhardwaj uses a captivating narrative style in #Haider. Pays acute attention to the impact of militancy, doesn't overflow with drama.

4:21 PM #Tabu plays a woman who is identified by her desire for esteem and affection. She is crafty in using men to fulfill her desires. #Haider

4:23 PM #Shahidkapoor acts like a madman with utmost ease; behaves erratically, troubles others with his untamed speech, piercing innuendos. #haider

4:27 PM Can't think of any other actor who could have replaced #KayKayMenon. He is believable as a scheming politician in #Haider

4:33 PM #ShraddhaKapoor does justice to her role. This is one of her best performances so far. #haider
