Maqbool
Maqbool by Vishal Bharadwaj (2003, 132 min) A moody urban drama Bollywood-style, this adaptation of Macbeth is set in the underworld of contemporary Bombay. Irfan Khan plays Maqbool, the loyal second-in-command in a crime gang headed by Abbaji (Pankaj Kapoor). Enter Nimmi (Tabu), Abbaji's beautiful young mistress who can't take her eyes off Maqbool-soon the two begin plotting to take over the gang. Maqbool also features Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri as corrupt fortune-telling policemen. "The film's stellar performances include the heavy-lidded matinee idol... Khan (who conjures up just the right mix of menace, introspection, and sex appeal), the sultry Tabu, and the legendary Om Puri..." (Toronto Film Festival 2003). In Hindi with English subtitles.
