Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

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

kuldeepsharma-46830 This is how Vishal Ji works, a great film adapted from the literature.With a line of very very good actors those have created a niche for themselves. Pankaj Kapur Ji's work is like always above expectations. Movie is right in its plot for crime in the Indian context. The movie is must watch for phenomenal performances.The film is adapted from Shakeaspere's "Macbeth", using Mumbai underworld as the backdrop. Charecterizations are brilliant, with the witches in Macbeth, being metamorphosed into two corrupt cops.The screenplay, cinematography, sound design are dialogues are brilliant. The performances from all the 5 key players, Irrfan, Tabu, Pankaj Kapur, and the two cops, Naseer and Om Puri are out of the world. Music is imaginative with captive visualizations.Credit for the entire movie should go to Vishal, for his outstanding conceptualization and execution. A special word, for cinematographer Hemant Chaturvedi. His final shot of Irrfan falling on the ground in the hospital, with a slow motion of a pigeon, followed by a changing color from normal light to serene green, followed by the fall with a tilted camera is worth going miles for!

akbar_auto The movie was really good .Vishal Bharadwaj has really made a masterpiece.on the acting front Pankaj kapur was brilliant as 'abbajaan' .even the small characters were etched out beautifully and the overall effect was really good.Irfan khan as Miya Maqbool is mind-blowing the chemistry he shares with his co-stars is good.it is really hard to believe that the movie is adapted from Shakespeare's Macbeth as the plot is set and picturised in mumbai and is really good. om puri and naseeruddin shah as the two cops are good and they share a good chemistry between them. I'm looking forward to watch 'Omkara' which has been adapted from Shakespeare's Othello.

bollywoodplusplus The movie is dark, but it towers above the rest of Bollywood and surely beautiful! Vishal Bharadwaj's direction is top-notch.Pankaj Kapur is brilliant as ever. Its pretty sad when you see him doing silly roles on TV. The way he has sunk Abbaji character into himself is truly amazing! A very powerful presence.Irfan Khan is impressive.Tabu shines ! She is by far the only one that comes to mind (in Bollywood) who combines beauty and brain! An acting prowess in the likes of Shabana Azmi added with glamour! A very rare combination indeed. I wish the directors take more advantage of this explosive combination and create some masterpieces in coming years.Music: I cannot fall short of praise for Vishal Bharadwaj for his multi faceted persona, a producer-director-writer-musiccomposer : where do you see so much rolled into one? Maachis music still echoes in my ear. A true gem in Bollywood.In Maqbool, Sultan Khan's voice has been used so beautifully. His voice is just intoxicating. 'Dheemo Re' is beautiful. The song 'Jhin Minni' has some signature style of Rehman. Few other songs like Chingari display a nice collage of western instrumentation and Indian classical infused vocals.Gulzar's screenplay is excellent. Cinematography is above avg (could be better). Naseerudding Shah and Om Puri have done perfect justice to the little roles they were given.There are some scenes that will make you cringe! This is a matured Bollywood product, and to be watched with same expectation! A serious, no-farce product from Bollywood off late.

luvkush2k 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.
