Shakespeare’s art of characterization needs no introduction his characters do not belong to any particular place or time there universal in nature and just universal of the his characters allow film makers even today to adaptors place and characters for their cinematic purpose however it is important to know that characters undergo transformation when they are shifted from one literary medium text to another film this happens when we because the power of fusion videos entirely different from that of print media Shakespeare’s totally different from Vishal in terms of all conditions in place of girlsthe most significant turn in the depression that film is about Mumbai underworld the king Duncan one of Scotland is actually and underworld don Ambaji Macbeth maqbool and banku Kaka are two of his goals who look after his business and lady Macbeth nimmi is actually a mistress of abbaji and not a wife of maqbool. Two corrupt policeman predict the reign of maqbool on abbaji is kingdom. The role of which is from the drama is taken by these two policeman. But, unlike drama, they are not passive fortune teller.

Does most of the dramatic aspects have been detained in the movie with slide modifications to fit the modern era and Underworld look and feel also use is certain unique devices which make the filma impressive experience the most distinguish aspect of the film is the acting of all the major and minor characters however in maqbool there are no instances of either sorry lock please or a sides. It is only through the exchange of dialogues that the audience comes to know of the characters in a state of mind.
The music of the film both background music and songs is yet another in Bharadwaj step he has composed the oral music of the movie the songs and memorable and soothing but the most main feature is the song never stop the advancement of the movie they don’t hit the audiences attention in Macbeth there is no please and music at all it is only the and please and sound of rain storms thunder and lightning get balances the UN musical situation how but in the movie has very rich music keeping with the conventions of a typical Bollywood film and there are many songs and dancing to the music and images free songs all of which occur in the first half the first song that takes place in the film is Tu mere rubaru hai which is a Sufi song that starts at the holy shine.

The setting has been changed from the royal court of Scotland to the Mumbai underworld in the words of Stephen alter foggy morals and bank as us give way to mild Havells havelies and the stacks escapes of Mumbai horses are replaced by Mercedes Benz and swords with pistols but the real magic of the film lies in the way Vishal is able to reconstruct a Scottish malur drama within the dangerous and twisted domain of Mumbai criminal Underworld not only does he locate the story in a different time and place but like a familiar theme in music that another key this is being done deliberately to the needs of Bollywood. In place of kings and noble generals the film depics men who belong to the Underworld and most of them are from the Muslim community.

Just like conquering the kings gets not just stayed but also gets his wife full stop in fact achieving me becomes prime motive as the rule of a buddy started complaining as soon as he dies. Everybody new that Bull is the prepaid prepare but he is supported by Muslim political big shot and hands people supported him.
The scenes of hallucination and write of blood have been portrait very powerfully both maqbool and nimmi were guilt written and hallucinating the blood and dead bodies of the people they have killed in drama Macbeth and hallucination of during a meet at his castle lady Macbeth saved him by asking other guest to leave in the movie the scene was well incorporated it was a time of one of the death rituals of ABBA ji everyone was there and the police man bring the dead body of Kaka makbul hair hallucinates that Kaka makes up from death and close this evil intentions.
The drama is all about human ambition and all the evil tactics that make that uses to gain power and ultimately his tragic demise by relocating the characters and story under Mumbai underworld, director supplements one more aspect to the significance of the film the movie also throw some light on the inter relationship of our politics and Underworld. The exist in mutual support. The candidates supported by Baji will never lose election on the other hand abbaji was guaranteed freedom from the law and order by these politicians.
