Indian movie adaptation
The Indian super hit movie Maqbool by film director Vishal Bharadwaj is an adaptation of Macbeth. The director made a few changes: The three witches were replaced by 2 corrupt police constables, Lady Macbeth was removed and instead the wife of the Mafia Don Abbaji (King Duncan) is seen plays the conniving woman and has an adulterous affair with Irrfan Khan who essays the titular role, and their affair is the reason why Maqbool kills Abbaji.

Semi-protected edit request on 17 November 2024
Template:Edit semi-protected I suggest changing the phrase "committed suicide" to "died by suicide" in the discussion of Lady Macbeth. This is due to the changing language around suicide to avoid portraying it as a crime (e.g., https://www.irmi.com/articles/expert-commentary/language-matters-why-we-dont-say-committed-suicide). It is less important for a fictional character, but I think it's still good to use better phrasing. 2601:1C0:4C01:5F70:C0D0:1871:8460:7CC1 (talk) 20:03, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- I think this is an overemphasis on one very specific definition of the word "commit".The word commit implies neither immorality nor criminal behaviour. If a politician commits himself to a particular government policy, should we impeach him? Is it a crime or immoral when a romantic couple make a commitment to each other? Or you commit your grandmother to a care home? Besides, changing the terminology does not change the nature of the act. Suicide is a tragedy, no matter what you call it.Mediatech492 (talk) 03:11, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Partly done: My issue was more with the "meaning that..." wording that suggested there's no room for interpretation (yes, it's widely believed she killed herself, but it's not a definite fact that should be told in wikivoice). In amending that wording, I switched to "death by suicide", which, issues with using "commit" aside, I believe flows better in the context. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 16:56, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Template:Edit semi-protected Please add "Other Adaptations" section beneath "Performance History". In 2021, author D. M. Wright released two novels "Beth Mac: Part One" and "Beth Mac: Part Two" as a contemporary gender-swap horror-comedy retelling of Macbeth with Australian Rules Football in an American College.

File:X mark.svg Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Please include a reliable source that indicates that these novels are sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion. PianoDan (talk) 22:03, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
