Watch Maqbool For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Such a frustrating disappointment

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This movie is one of the achievements of Indian cinema, and I consider that Vishal Bhardwaj is a master of adaptation. Maqbool, "The Blue Umbrella" and Omkara, you don't need more examples. I think Maqbool is his best movie, he cannot surpass what he created in Maqbool. There cannot be a better adaptation of McBeth, it's flawless indeed. Though McBeth is one of the plays I dislike most and I don't watch more of this move for the very same reason that I wanted to have sympathy with McBeth but can't, wanted to have sympathy with Maqbool but can't.Several scenes in the movie executed flawlessly, each character surpassing the other. I would not recommend this movie to SRK fans, but if you like a masterpiece irrespective of it's genre then watch it.That line of Tabu - "Thirteen moles are there on my body, would you see where they are?" left Maqbool helpless. The witches act of Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah was brilliant. Pankaj Kapoor stole the show as Abbaji. This movie is an masterpiece.

when i see this movie not getting the recognition it so truly deserves it just disturbs me. on of the most powerful well scripted adaptation Indian cinema has ever witnessed. of course the cherry on the cake is the cream of Indian talent all showcasing their talent on screen. This is one movie that has some of my all time fav actors like Pankaj Kapur. Tabu.Irrfan Khan, Naseer and Om Puri.... and neither of them disappoints... watching Pankaj Kapur give the performance of a life time is sheer bliss....... It took a while for the DVD to hit stores and the day i got and watched it...it just simply blew my socks off.......ever since I'm in complete awe of the powerful scenes that this movie has which have forever etched themselves in my memory.... a must watch....

This film is, in short, a masterpiece. A unique interpretation on Shakespeare's "Macbeth", "Maqbool" features Irrfan in one of the most brilliantly executed roles of modern cinema. He remarkably inhabits the skin of a character who is muddled, murderous, and maniacal. Pankaj Kapoor, as the invincible Abbaji, is astonishing in his portrayal of the Muslim Mob Boss. Truly an incomparable performance. As for Tabu, she is PERFECTION. This is not Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth- she is equally fierce, but given a softer and more shadowy countenance. Tabu is officially a text book of acting (take note, screen queens Rani, Preity, Aish, Madhuri, and the rest- this is what a REAL actress can do). Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri give expert portrayals. Kudos to Bhardwaj for creating a film which is not only unconventional, but eerily radiant. Ram Gopal Verma and Mani Ratnam now have company as India's most innovative filmmakers.

Irfan shines and shines. Tabu, Pankaj Kapoor are excellent, as are Naseerudin and Om Puri, but when Maqbool (Irfan) is on screen, he overshadows all. Yes even Pankaj (one of the finest actors of India). Vishal Bharadwaj has made an excellent adaptation. Why, oh why doesn't someone drag Sanjay Leela Bhansali to see this film. Anyone who has seen Irfan in 'The Warrior" or Haasil will certify that Irfan's utterly unconventional looks acts as a force multiplier, rather than a drag. He is a great talent, and Indian filmmakers would do well to use him much more than he is being used. Another victory for Bobby Bedi, one wonders why everyone in the industry seems to hate the man. He has already given us Bandit Queen and Maqbool. What more does a man have to do? Oh that's right, "Indian public wants films like Black and KKKG" (actual quote by a BB basher). Another word on Tabu, why don't more filmmakers give her real roles. But not Bhandarkar please. Page 3 has destroyed all faith in him.
