Maqbool is a story of passion, power, seduction, brooding crime and reverberating self-punishment. The tale reveals the politics of lust and passion as Mian Maqbool, the mafia gang's lieutenant and right hand man of the don Abbaji, falls in love with the don's mistress and a saga of massacre unfolds.
Abetted by the mistress Nimmi, who also loves Mian and goads him to take his godfather's place in the hierarchy of the gang and her bed. Mian plots and plans to usurp Abbaji's power and fiefdom. Maqbool is torn between his loyalty for his mentor and his love for Nimmi. With further aid from the two cops Pandit and Purohit, who also provide comic relief to the dark tale, Maqbool unleashes a mayhem of crime and gore, shaking the very roots of the closely knit mafia family.
As circumstances spiral out of control, so does Maqbool's sense of descretion. But does Maqbool, a hard man from the harsh underworld have the grif to fight it anymore?
Maqbool transports you to a threshold of pain and redemption titherto unkown to Hindi Cinema. |

The story has been inspired by the Shakespearean play ‘Macbeth’. It retains the true essence of that play adapting it to the present day scenario. Pankaj Kapoor is an underworld don (Abbaji) - the godfather like king, Tabu as his mistress (Nimmi) - the queen and Irfan Khan (Maqbook Miya)as his trusted son like protege. Interestingly, the film also have the witches, incarnated as two policemen, Naseer and Om Puri, who predict the doom and watch the show along with you. However, in this film these two police officers have done quite ordinary roles.
Nimmi falls in love with Maqbool and convinces him to eliminate his mentor, Abbaji and become his successor. Maqbool executes Abbaji and becomes the new head honcho of the gang. Nimmi gets pregnant with his baby.
There are lots of murder and violence is the movie.
On the whole, Maqbool is gripping right from the beginning and keeps a viewer glued to the screen till the very end.
Maqbool is a movie worth watching for all lovers of quality cinema. |
