Some major terrorist attacks have been elaborately explained and Omar's participation in the event is shown keenly. Rajkumar Rao astonishes us with yet another strong performance.

The direction by Hansal Mehta Hansal Mehta is an Indian writer, director, produc >> Read More... is phenomenal, he has his own way of making the film look in a certain way. There are crucial scenes that are heightened with high-frequency sounds which gives a very real effect. The movie is shot like a documentary and most parts seem like one.

Star Performances

Rajkumar Rao steals the show yet another time.The actor has been enticing us in with his acting skills since the beginning of his career. He portrays the character so well, be it the body language or his British dialect changing to a much Indian-ised version. The actor that plays Daniel Pearl, Timothy Hickernell matches Rajkumar’s energy in some scenes making them very intense and real.

What’s There?

Omerta leads you into a life of a terrorist.
The movie shows you what goes exactly in planning and executing the mission in the most nonchalant and secretive manner.

What’s Not There?

The movie does not showcase Omar’s initial life before becoming a terror which leaves with some questions unanswered.
The feature also is more like a documentary than a film.

Verdict

Omerta is a must watch just for Rajkumar Rao. The story explains his intentions and beliefs behind his actions. A glimpse into someone else's life is a great experience to have.
