'''''Maqbool''''' is a 2003 Indian [[Hindi]]-language [[crime drama]] film directed by [[Vishal Bhardwaj]], starring [[Irrfan Khan]], [[Tabu (actress)|Tabu]], [[Pankaj Kapur]], [[Naseeruddin Shah]], [[Om Puri]], [[Piyush Mishra]], [[Murali Sharma]], and [[Masumeh Makhija]] in an adaptation of the play ''[[Macbeth]]'' by [[Shakespeare]].

The plot of the film is based on that of ''Macbeth'' with regard to events and characterisation. The film did not perform remarkably at the box office, but won director Vishal Bhardwaj international acclaim. Apart from directing it, he had also composed the background score and songs for the film. Bhardwaj then moved on to adapting [[William Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Othello]]'' in his 2006 film ''[[Omkara (2006 film)|Omkara]]'' which won him further critical success. He then directed ''[[Haider (film)|Haider]]'' in 2014 adapting ''[[Hamlet]]'', leading to what is now called his ''Shakespeare trilogy''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.americanbazaaronline.com/2015/03/11/vishal-bhardwajs-shakespeare-trilogy-to-be-screened-at-the-new-york-indian-film-festival/|title=Vishal Bhardwaj's Shakespeare trilogy to be screened at the New York Indian Film Festival|date=11 March 2015|access-date=2 November 2017|archive-date=7 November 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107033146/https://www.americanbazaaronline.com/2015/03/11/vishal-bhardwajs-shakespeare-trilogy-to-be-screened-at-the-new-york-indian-film-festival/|url-status=live}}</ref>{{efn|Interestingly the first letters M, O and H of Maqbool, Omkara and Haider are the same as the first letter of their Shakespearean source. It is intentional -if only to pay tribute to the original source- and not co-incidental.}}

The film had its North American premiere at the 2003 [[Toronto International Film Festival]]. Though the film failed to garner much of an audience during its theatrical run in India, critics were appreciative and [[Pankaj Kapur]] went on to win a [[Filmfare Award]] for Best Actor (Critics) and a [[National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor]]. The film was screened in the Marché du Film section of the [[2004 Cannes Film Festival]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/bollywood-star-aishwarya-rai-sizzles-at-57th-edition-of-cannes-film-festival/1/196007.html|title=Aishwarya Rais's presence makes up for absence for Indian films in Cannes : SOCIETY & THE ARTS – India Today|date=24 May 2004 |access-date=18 October 2014|archive-date=22 July 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150722095357/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/bollywood-star-aishwarya-rai-sizzles-at-57th-edition-of-cannes-film-festival/1/196007.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
