Reviews
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
s-sunilpal123 I have some grave problems with this remake of the classic- "12 Angry Men". 1. Overacting from all quarters. The original had subtle performances from each of the actors acting as jurors. But this movie had excessive had movements, tongue lapping, advancing toward one another to hit, giggles and laughs on cringeworthy jokes, and so on. 2. Departure from logic. In the original, the fact that only one of the jurors was bespectacled turned out to be a pivotal point since he was able to testify that the marks on the nose could only be a product of being bespectacled. Since he was on the guilty 'side' earlier, it proved to be a damning indication to the fact that the evidence against the defendant was lacking in substance. But in this movie, half the jury is bespectacled- which is fine. Fine if they had just omitted one bespectacled juror asking another one if people who have specs sleep with their specs on! Dude- you should know yourself- you have specs too! 3. Jury system in India. Since time immemorial, we have had the judge ruling concept; not the jury decision concept. Factually inaccurate. Copying just for the sake of copying with no customization!
Manish Kumar The movie is a good one..But it's a line by line remake of "12 Angry Men" movie made in 1957. Every single frame/dialogues are taken from that movie. So I'd suggest to watch the original one than watching this one. Pankaj Kapur is very awesome along with other actors. The story has been kept same .A boy is accused of killing his father. It's suspected to have committed in a fit of anger.Then a jury is assigned the final task of ascertaining his case. A total of 12 men sit in a room.They debate over the issue. Initially the jury finds him guilty by majority except for one man. At last he convince all others to accept his views. Ultimately the boy is acquitted of his charges. This's the entire story.
Tejas Nair 12 Angry Men being remade shot-to-shot isn't child's play if that's what you're thinking. The way Sidney Lumet had handled the characters is so strong, that Basu Chatterjee only imitates and fails.The story, screenplay & writing is all the same except the dialogs. They are fine, with ample use of humor. Since there is no difference at all between the two, I'll talk about the players. Exceptional acting by almost all of the twelve jurors. Special mention for Pankaj Kapoor for his quintessential portrayal; he makes us wanna hate him throughout the movie. Annu Kapoor totally pulls it off as the oldie. It is only halfway that I realized the oldie was indeed Annu Kapoor.Editing is poor, so is the score. If there is one thing that meets the original cinema is the dialogs and I am glad I watched the remake. A 5.8 out of 10 for this venture. Also, the potshot on "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro" was truly unnecessary.BOTTOM LINE: Recommended, only to people who are cinema aficionados and have already watched 12 Angry Men or to people who haven't watched the latter.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YESProfanity: Mild | Nudity/Sex: No | Violence: Strong | Gore: No | Alcohol/Drugs: No | Smoking: Strong
vedicsignature I was watching the NAT GEO special on 100 top movies..and incidentally came to know that "Twelve angry men" was the original. Anyway...Ek Ruka Hua Faisla ..is great movie...Considering the time period in which this movie was adapted ... Acting was too good ....and this movie..also won the best director movie award for BASU... All the character were very close to the real life..and that is the winning point for this movie.All the 12 characters who played as the jury were one of the finest on screen actors and all the Door Darshan period generation know about them......
