"Ye hota hai chutzpah." Haider is dark, grooming, haunting and at the same time set in naturally beautiful region of Kashmir. Its trump cards are its stunning cinematography and ground breaking performances. Shahid Kapoor proves his acting mettle in a deeply nuanced performance beyond his years. Haider is at times tender, at times maniacal and savagely violent, and Kapoor traverses the dark depths of his emotions effortlessly. His slow-burning descent into madness is captivating, as we watch Haider unravel. Tabu is simply outstanding,so is Kay Kay Menon. Haider concludes the Shakespearean trilogy of Vishal Bhardwaj after Maqbool and Omkara and it is indeed a fitting finale to this spectacular series of adaptations that Bhardwaj has made.
