three witches, one hunchback
Saw Omkara and Maqbool recently.
The two cops in Maqbool are a marvellous piece of work.
First, the adaptation is very well done - three witches to two cops .
Two, the actors ... what can I say about them that has not been said - Om Puri and Naseeruddin Shah as Pandit and Purohit.
Third, pairing the two of them is like putting two cylinders on a bike (think RD350) - takes the whole thing right away into major league.
Fourth, the two of them are power players without seeming so, they are corrupt without appearing so. They hack of the system and keep it running smooth, and do a much-needed job, without appearing so.
The astrology bit replaces witchcraft and adds in the supernatural element, which appears to be an essential ingredient in every immortal work.
