Orson Welles played the tragic king among Stonehenge-like ruins. Akira Kurosawa's murderous medieval lord went down in the most furious fusillade of arrows ever filmed. Roman Polanski, funded by Playboy Productions, filmed Lady Macbeth sleepwalking in the nude. Now it's Bollywood's turn. In director Vishal Bhardwaj's Maqbool, Macbeth has been turned into a Bombay Mob hit man tempted to kill his sadistic don for the don's disloyal mistress-the incarnation of Lady Macbeth. It may be possible to imagine three cackling witches in India's teeming megalopolis, but Bhardwaj chooses to replace them with a pair of corrupt, soothsaying cops who get their jollies playing all sides in the bloody gangland rivalries. India's commercial-film factories have a creaky tradition of taking the premises of Hollywood blockbusters-Ghost, Reservoir Dogs and Species-and twisting them into virtually interchangeable, all-singing-all-dancing musicals. In the past, Shakespeare might have been just another vein of material. But in Maqbool, Bhardwaj has jettisoned Bollywood conventions to make a film that has claustrophobia, menace, drama, a fresh romantic twist and that rarest of Bollywood accomplishments, genuine tragedy.

"Sting operation undermines the core of journalism," Editor of 'The Outlook' magazine Vinod Mehta, who once supported the Tehelka operation, said stressing that the use of modern technology could bring shortlived results but the traditional tools were going to stay. Asserting that scribes could come out with a story with far better impact without using hidden cameras and other technologies, the Editor said he holds the theory "bogus" that without applying those instruments, it was difficult to arrive at truth.
