Bollywood Shakespeare ... ?

At first I will admit the concept of Bollywood and Shakespeare didn't really appeal to me, I thought it would be tacky, boring and to be fair I didn't think I would understand a single word. How is this going to help me? I thought to myself, but I decided to go, heck it was a day of from college!!
BUT ....
I was pleasantly surprised!
The acting was very impressive and at times I forgot that we were watching a Shakespeare play and I really enjoyed the performance. The dancing and singing was very good and fit in well, however Don John was played as quite a comical character however I would of preferred him to of been more sinister then sarcastic to of emphasised the fact that he was a villain and to of confirmed my thoughts of him being the more serious side of the play.
 
Overall though i thought the day was very fun, can't wait for the next one
 
DON,DON,DON....

    I agree, it was a good trip. Do you think Don John works interpreted this way?

      I do and I don’t, I do because playing Don John as a comedic character although evil highlights and reminds everyone that Much ado about nothing is in fact a comedy however I personally prefer Don John to be played as a more sinister character as other scenes and characters are deemed as being slightly more funny and their humour would stand out more.
