Wear clothes that make you feel happy and comfortable and confident! 12. Don’t care about what others think of you.  13. If something doesn’t make you happy, healthy, or benefit you in any way, don’t do it. 14. Remind yourself that you aren’t who you were a year ago, you’ve grown and mistakes are to learn from. 15.

Seriously though, has anyone seen Haider, one of the Bollywood adaptations of Hamlet? Because, let me tell you, it’s amazing.

Let’s face it, a lot of Shakespeare on film is downright dull (80s BBC Shakespeare marathon anyone? no, didn’t think so). Adaptations are often better suited for the film format because they manage to capture the spirit of the original, but adapt it well for screen. And the foreign language ones are best because they are less tied to the text. I mean, have you seen Kozintsev’s King Lear and Hamlet? Breathtaking. Kurosawa’s Shakespeare films? Phenomenal. Text just generally just works better in theatre. You know how many lines Baz had to cut to make Romeo + Juliet a fast-paced film?

Haider is just as compelling. Set in the 90s conflicts in Kashmir, it transposes the whole story to a modern setting that brings Hamlet (Haider)’s conflicts up-to-date in a readily comprehensive manner.

Just a few things it contains:

A strongly independent Ophelia (Arshia), who’s a journalist and who actively helps Hamlet (Haider). There’s no Horatio and in some ways she takes on Horatio’s role too.

Strong, edgy political commentary that just works; though I don’t purport to understand a lot of it.

Lots of violence. But the meaningful sort (not for the faint-hearted I tell ye).

Beautiful cinematography (!!!)

A full Bollywood song and dance routine Mousetrap

Lots of music

Dark humour

In some ways it diverges from Hamlet, because you see Haider’s father before he dies, because the ‘ghost’ is quite different, the way characters die is quite different, there are no soliloquies, and the ending is changed to suit the world. But adaptations naturally only offer a particular interpretation of the plays; sometimes that’s just what a film needs.

I loved to sleep with the window open. Rainy nights were the best of all: I would open the window and put my head on the pillow and close my eyes and feel the wind on my face and listen to the trees sway and creak.
