1. – Piyush Mishra, Maqbool, Indina, 2003. For his second director outing, veteran Bollywood composer Vishal Bharadwaj, turned Macbeth into The Godfather. In the Mumbai underworld. After asking Kapur to be Kaka (aka Banquo), he was switched to Abbaji (Duncan). As LA critic Kirk Honeycutt commented: “Who knew that Shakespeare could write such a dynamite gangster movie?” (UK Aussie directors Ken Hughes and Geoffrey Wright didn much the same with their Macbeth of the the US and Melbourne crime fraternities in 1955 and 2006. Minus song ’n’ dance routines!)
