"Maqbool" is a story of passion, power, seduction, brooding crime and ever berating self punishment. The tale reveals the politics of lust and passion as Mian Maqbool (Irrfan Khan), the mafia gang's lieutenant and right hand man of the don Abbaji (Pankaj Kapur), falls in love with the don's mistress and saga of massacre unfolds. Abetted by the mistress Nimmi (Tabu), who also loves Mian and goads him to take his godfather’s place in the hierarchy of the gang and her bed, Mian plots and plans to usurp Abbaji's power and fiefdom. Maqbool is torn between his loyally for his mentor and his love for Nimmi.
With further aid from the two cops Pandit (Om Puri) and Purohit (Naseeruddin Shah), who also provide comic relief to the dark tale, Maqbool unleashes a mayhem of crime and gore, shaking the very roots of the closely knit mafia family. As circumstances spiral out to control, so does Maqbool's sense of discretion. But does Maqbool, a hard man from the harsh underworld have the grit to fight it anymore?
