Maqbool is a movie made by Vishal Bhardwaj. Which is the theme above Macbeth William Shakespeare. The film begins differently. This is currently based on modern character. So the film has started using the kind of characters that are seen in the present century. The one in which Pandit is a policeman draws a horoscope on the glass.

➡️compare the portrayal of 'Witches', 'Lady Macbeth' and other characters.
1️⃣The witches character 🦹:-
He has also included a witches in the 'Macbeth' play. There is a definite appearance of witch in his play. The role of witch is important in his play. That's where the tone and twist of the play comes from. The witches is a fantasy. Who tells Macbeth that you will be king. Such three different prophecies. He moves around the macbeth and sings himself. Macbeth plays the great character 3 Lady. Its look is as follows.
Prophecy -------
FIRST WITCH - All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Glamis
SECOND WITCH - All hail, Macbeth! Hail to thee, Thane of Cawdor
THIRD WITCH-All hail, Macbeth, that shalt be king hereafter!
THIRD APPARITION-" Macbeth shall never vanquished be until
Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill
Shall come against him"
Orsan welles's 'Macbeth 'movie also come in witches.It also shows the witch. The character of this witch is also similar to the character of macbeth. But since he made the film, he swims in a different way. It has been given a sound effect so that its sound sounds a terrible one. We can see all the happenings in front of us. Smoke escapes from the boiling oil in the pan. The scene of the cloud is shown and the voice of the witch is shown in a somewhat different way.
Vishal Bhardwaj's movie Maqbool did not feature a witches. Because in modern times if a witch is portrayed people do not trust her. And that movie goes flop. That is why Vishal Bhardwaj has tried to portray the witch in something different. Her film depicts a policeman who is a pundit as a witch. Who knows astrology. And according to everyone's horoscope, their future says. The witch in Macbeth also prophesied. And the Pandit in Maqbool also prophesies. He makes a lot of predictions in the film. And his friend says today's prophecy is never wrong. Which will replace Maqbool's prophecy Abaji, and become King of Kings. Which predicts as follows.
"दसवें स्थान में शुक्र प्रबल है। इसे राजयोग कहते हैं। 6 महीने में अब्बा जी की गद्दी मियां की है किंग ऑफ किंग!"
"दरिया खुद चलकर तेरे घर पर आएगा तो तू डूबेगा।"
2️⃣ Lady Macbeth 👸:-
There was not much emphasis on women in the Dark Ages. So his character was portrayed as inferior. But in modern times, the place of women has become equal to that of men. So there is more emphasis on women in this film. Above her looks, above her dialogue.
Lady Macbeth is the wife of Air Macbeth. Featured as his wife in Shakespeare's original play. In that play she is portrayed as a ruthless and cruel woman. She is willing to do anything for her husband's ambition. She also motivates her husband. She loves her husband very much. She was a widower. She struggles a lot for her husband's ambition. And finally realizing his mistake, he commits suicide.
Curle lady's🧛♀️:-
Lady Macbeth say -"Does unmake you. I have given suck, and know
How tender ’tis to love the babe that milks me.
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have plucked my nipple from his boneless gums
And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn as you
Have done to this."
"Who dares receive it other,
As we shall make our griefs and clamor roar
Upon his death"
The Lady Macbeth character is portrayed quite differently in the second movie. In Bhardwaj's movie Maqbool, she is portrayed as Abaji's wife. Her name is Sameera. He falls in love with Maqbool, who plays Macbeth. And encourages her to kill her husband. As well as being willing to go to any lengths to settle maqbool. A widow is not a woman. She is not loyal to her husband. She is a loving woman. He loves Maqbool.
Sameera love in moqboolThe character of Sameera is portrayed in a romantic way. Which viewers love to see in the present times. The character of ledy macbeth has been completely changed. The whole film is made by choosing Sameera as a romantic character. Which people like very much.He, like Lady Macbeth, hates Maqbool. And say the following words.
"अब्बाजी की जगह तुम कभी नहीं ले सकते तुम डरपोक हो।"
"अब्बाजी के जीते जी हम एक नहीं हो सकते।
या तो तुम मुझे मार दो या अब्बाजी को?"
3️⃣ Macbeth 💂:-
Macbeth was a soldier in the Shakespeare play. He was brave and powerful. He committed many murders. He was a loyal soldier of King Duncan. But since the witch prophesied him, he has been leaning towards the killer. He regrets killing King Duncan. His mental balance deteriorates. He is very scared to see the ghost of the Banquo. Similarly, Macbeth's character is also seen in Vishal Bhardwaj's film Maqbool. But has portrayed it as a modern macbeth. It shows Maqbool as a coward. Neither can mader. He was not attracted to Sameera but Sameera attracted him to her. Hugs him and makes him fall in love with her. Then he tells Abaji to kill.
His character looks like model type. He falls in love with the wife of Abaji, whom he calls Bhabhi. Kills Abaji. And he blames his own friends on the son of a character called Kaka. Maqbool also said that killing Abaji does not bring peace of mind. Mental imbalances are shown alike in both drama and movie. Finally Maqbool loses and is shot dead.
4️⃣ King Duncan🤴:-
Duncan is a king inside Macbeth Play. Because it was a monarchy at the time. Shakespeare died in the Dark Ages. At that time the monarchy was running. So even his plays were above the king. But when it comes to the 21st century, it has to change. We find it inside Vishal Bhardwaj's movie Maqbool. That he has put a gangster in the place of a king. Don type character is placed. His name was Jahangir, saying Abaji. His age was kept very large. Older type character. They were fond of eating pan. The dancers were fond of watching the dances.
Abaji like a dance and his seftymanHe loved his wife Sameera very much. He was arrogant and a little angry.He treated everyone who lived with him like his own son. So he also has a loving personality.
5️⃣ Banquo👷♂️:-
The character of Banquo in Macbeth is portrayed as Maqbool in Kaka.The kaka in Maqbool's film is also Maqbool's friend as Macbeth's friend.In this film, Kaka is portrayed as his childhood friends. Kaka is always with maqbool. The like Banquo, kaka also explain mistakes in Maqbool. They are also offended at his mistake. But cannot leave their company. The last time Macbeth beat the Banquo. Similarly maqbool also kills kaka in encounter. Kaka rolls inside the film as a funny character. Who always seem to be smiling. He always respects Abaji. So he is the ideal character. It truly fulfills relationships.
➡️ about the change in the texture and setting of the adaptations.
The texture and setting have also changed a lot. Which has the following aspects. Such as culture, moment mapping, character, theme, context etc.A lot of movies have been made. All the movies see something change. If we compare with each other in the movie, there are many differences. Which we will discuss.Culture changes over time. As the hundred years go by a new culture emerges. And that is how the world of literature and film is formed. There is a big difference between Shakespeare's plays played in the sixteenth century and the films that are currently being made. Culture is different in those times. And that's how drama is written and made. If the plays are not made according to that culture now, it will flop. So according to modern culture therefore a film is made using them. In which many changes are made in the character in its context, movement mapping etc.
