It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

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!!

A masterpiece in every aspect.This is the first thought which came to me after watching Maqbool.First I have to give credit to the director for doing such an amazing job. To recreate a story as famous as Macbeth and as brilliantly as he did , is a very brave and hard enterprise. I didn't skip a second of the movie , simply because every frame was meaningful and nothing was out of place. Having said this ,I have to give credit to the cast of the movie. Not a single misplaced character. In fact all of the actors gave by my opinion one of the best performances in their careers. Irrfan Khan and Tabu were out of this world , so simple and believable yet so strong emotionally. The chemistry between them is great. Pankaj Kapoor shines as Jahangir Khan.A job well done.I wish there were more Indian movies like this one to give the Indian cinema the good name it deserves.

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.

It is a pity that Such Good movies don't receive recognition from people..Vishal is just someone who can blend things perfectly into Indian scenario!.. Every one does justice to their roles.. :)Naseer and Om Puri have short roles but they do full justice to the roles given and are the best of the lot !!Abbaji ( Pankaj Kapoor) does a godfather like Role ! with low voice and more of throat in it !! and Does it Fantastically well.. Irfaan , Tabu have done fantastically well.. now waiting to see their combo again in "THE NAMESAKE" Do watch this movie if u really like Cinematic EXCELLENCE
