Review of Maqbool (2003) by Jennifer W — 18 Nov 2008

I think this was my first Indian film to watch. Damned good acting from everyone, and an interesting take on "the Scottish play." I thought the underlying love story was inspired, and I am a sucker for those small self-referential bits (the studio set filming + comments on the film industry).

Though, not being a native speaker, I had to rely on rather shaky subtitles, which sometimes went over my head. Still, a solid effort as an adaptation AND as a standalone film.
