Dear filmmakers: If you're going to remake an old story, you better damn well do it right.
That isn't a targeted statement so much as a PSA (though it stings freshly of ABC's abominable Dirty Dancing (http://mashable.com/2017/05/25/dirty-dancing-remake-twitter-drag-reactions/)), and a direct product of the fact that I was spoiled in 2006 by Omkara, an Indian film version of Othello.
Omkara was the second Shakespearian endeavor from director Vishal Bhardwaj, who released Maqbool in 2003, based on Macbeth.
