For those who thought Tabu is best suited for very serious and dark movies, this film is a great way to break that stereo.

Sometimes for a film to work, actors have to downplay certain characters to keep story alive and real. spian did just that in 'Maqbool', as she played enigmatic mistress of a gangster. Even though it was t a very mainstream film, her acting prowess was very much appreciated.
