This movie is exceptionally good and all the actors have done a brilliant job. Each role fits with the person. Over all an amazing movie though its a remake. They are so many remakes in Bollywood and this one is exceptional without a doubt.
Unfortunately had to sit through this movie many years back. Thought it was one of the best things I'd seen then.3 years back watched the original 12 Angry Men http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050083/After watching 12 Angry Men this movie feels like a truck load of trash. All of the acting is over the top. Not a half decent effort to do any justice to the original.Pankaj Kapoor thought he was doing a great job with the constant licking his lips. KK Raina was perhaps the worst choice to play Henry Fonda's central role. Anu Kapoor as the old man was perhaps the only saving grace.Save your money on the rental. Go watch the original.
The 99% movie is filmed in one single room. And camera angle is set very thoughtfully. All the actors have done a really wonderful job. Which no other Indian actor has done yet. Not even Amitabh or Raj Kapoor can do it. I have seen the film 3-4 times. And every time I have seen the movie with same excitement. The way the actor gets the confidence of all the jurors is really good. The dialogues are really realistic. It seems that you yourself are one of the juror. And you too want to prove that the boy is innocent.Really one in a million movie." Ek Ruka Hua Faisla " Too Good To Resist......
This is probably the best Hindi remake (The original is a fantastic Sidney Lumet movie, "Twelve angry men" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050083/)) I've watched. K. K. Raina is no Henry Fonda; but he's done a great job -- as has the rest of the very talented cast; and none more than the brilliant Pankaj Kapoor as the broken-hearted father/juror no 3 (played by Lee J. Cobb in the original) Ironically, what makes it work is the fact that it is such a complete plagiarism; it is guided entirely by Lumet's masterpiece in style and substance. The cast and the crew have done an excellent job with the execution; but they could have probably done it without the director. An interesting artifact of the plagiarism is that we have this movie about a hung jury -- when India doesn't have a jury system at all! Oh well! Given that Bollywood is all about plagiarism anyway; I guess we should be thankful when they occasionally do a good job of it!
