Omerta a disturbing watch says Rajkummar Rao, movie gets overwhelming response at Toronto Festival

September 15, 2017 by BollywoodPresents Team

Movie Reviews

Rajkummar Rao’s Omerta received an overwhelming response at the movie’s world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), but the actor says that the film can be disturbing for some viewers due to the dark reality it exposes. The film tells the story of Pakistani-origin terrorist Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh.

In one of the posters of Omerta, you can see the actor offering namaaz, but focus more on the wall behind, and you will see references to ‘9/11’ and the to-do task of ‘Kidnapping an American’.

I’m sure you can now guess that terrorism is a big part of the film.
