arsaib, i'm glad you saw "Maqbool" and liked it. The overbearing patriarch was played by Pankaj Kapoor. Many people said that he closely followed Brando in The Godfather. I disagree because he plays an old, god-fearing Muslim who is also a ruthless mafia chief. The film harps on this dualism till his death. What I liked best about this adaptation is that it takes the moral universe of Shakespeare's text very seriously, while recontextualising it in present day India. The stroke of genius is really the tranformation of the witches into two corrupt fortune-telling police officers. 

The same director is making "Othello" now. I have great hopes!
