    More about the witches....

    Vishal Bharadwaj's Maqbool which puts Macbeth in the Mumbai underworld, the witches are two cops, played brilliantly by Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri. The latter dabbles in astrology and predicts, Maqbool taking over the reins from Abbaji Jahangir Khan.
    The movie proceeds without making it necessarily clear, whether the prophecy proves right or is proven right. Even the other prophecies are very cleverly written in this film.

    The two cops are shown to have ulterior motives in maintaining a kind of balance (they let Banquo's son escape on purpose) and also go in the opposite direction attempting to help Maqbool (Macbeth) escape. This leaves the viewer with many interesting questions about Fate taking sides, if at all
