Synopsis of Maqbool

Shakespeare's classic tale of greed and ambition is transplanted to Mumbai's criminal underworld in this adaptation of Macbeth from Indian writer-director Vishal Bhardwaj (Makdee). Bollywood legend Irrfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire) stars as Macbeth stand-in Maqbool, the right-hand man of powerful crime boss Abbaji (Pankaj Kapur). When Maqbool begins an illicit affair with Abbaji's beautiful young mistress, Nimmi (Tabu), she convinces her lover to murder his boss and usurp his way to the top of the city's gangster syndicate. ~ Sandra Bencic, Rovi
