Vishal Bhardwaj's music goes with the mood of the film. The 'Beedi' track is for the masses. 'Naina Thag Lenge' has a different feel about it. Cinematography is superb in some parts, especially when the film begins. Dialogues are good.
On the whole, 'Omkara' is a brilliantly made film with superlative performances. But it's not a family film. It's also not for the female audience, so there it has already lost out on a major chunk of its audience. From the box-office collections point of view, the U.P. and Bihar belt will be a money-spinner but its fate seems doubtful in the metros and other centers.
