Abstract
This article focuses on how William Shakespeare's plays may be translocated into the Indian setting. It analyses the approaches undertaken by film director Vishal Bhardwaj in transforming Othello into Omkara (2006). The dominant readings of the film suggest how Othello's colour and race have been adapted into Omkara's caste identity to fit it to the Indian context. I argue though, that Bhardwaj banks on the emotion of jealousy and insecurity arising from the emotion while downplaying the subject of caste.
