Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

sid-coolking Performances by everybody was epic and only Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri were a bit irritating...Direction at its best, and the dialogues are easy to understand that makes it unique from what Omkara was in terms of accent and set up...One time watch fare if u want to see performances and dialogues in place of execution...Recommended!!

yufyonder 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.

sawhney_g I think this movie is the best adaptation of Macbeth, even WS(or Francis bacon) would be proud to see this movie.I have watched the Movie "Throne of Blood" by Akira Kurosawa and the movie is brilliant. I think this is a better adaptation although it's not as fast as the former. The sense of Guilt this movie produces is unmatchable and Vishal has done a brilliant job of portraying it.Irfan Khan, Tabu, Naseerudin Shah and Om Puri have all done a brilliant job in portraying their characters, but one character that stands head and shoulder above the rest is "abba ji" a.k.a "Pankaj Kapur". His voice does seems to be inspired by Marlon Brando of Godfather but he has done justice to the character.

maqbool I saw this movie a long time ago and I saw it again recently, cant get enough of how amazing this movie is. A Hindi movie worthy of being screened at every internatinoal film festival, in fact it was screened at various festivals and was appreciated.The list of the talented starcast is huge, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri, Pankaj Kapur, Tabu & last but certainly not the least, Irrfan Khan(playing the title role of Maqbool).Story is about an underworld side kick who starts to have an inner conflict and where he has to make a decision and choose between loyalty and deceit, all because of a woman who is the mistress of the underworld gang leader Abbaji (played to perfection by Pankaj Kapur).Performances, lines, screenplay, background score and editing, cinematography are 1st rate.
