The document compares and contrasts two film adaptations of Shakespearean works: Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of "Hamlet" and Vishal Bhardwaj's adaptation of "Haider". It finds that Branagh's "Hamlet" is faithful to the original play, including characters and plot points, while Bhardwaj's "Haider" takes greater creative liberties, setting the story in modern-day Kashmir. However, it also argues that "Haider" successfully updated the original to contemporary times.
