Abstract

The Current Research Paper is intended to explore the Qawwali song ‘Tu Mere Rubaru Hai’ of the film Maqbool. Qawwali as an art form has been enacted in various Bollywood films including Maqbool. This song has been used as a tool for creating a background to the love affair of the characters Maqbool and Nimmi and Guddu and Sameera. Maqbool is the hindi film or bollywood adaptation of Shakespearean Tragedy Macbeth, and like any other Bollywood film, it has different genres of songs, Qawwali being one of them. Using the Piercian model of the semiotics, the research paper intends to study the song as a signifier of the love story developing between the characters of the film Maqbool. The lyrics of the song has been translated to be used and analysed in establishing the intended meaning and use of the song in the film.
