This film did justice to its adapted film 12 Angry Men. Infact, they even took the dialogues from the original film, by not making any changes I felt more relatable towards its original source. Pankaj Kapoor and Annu Kapoor's performance was truly remarkable. For those who don't watch English film due to language barrier I hope you enjoy this. Jo log English filmy bhaasha ke taur per nahi dekhte vo ye film jarur dekhe. Kyonki ye bharat ki aasadharan filmy mese ek hai.

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?

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.

"Ek Ruka Hua Faisla" is strictly watchable for good performances only. Pankaj Kapoor and Anu Kapoor are brilliant and are aptly supported by decent performances by the others.The plot is inspired by a Hollywood movie and has a quite a few flaws... The jury system was not in practise in the 80s (in fact, the Nanavati case in the 60s was the last time the Jury system was used in an Indian court). Plus, as far as my knowledge goes, a 12-to-none verdict is not required to convict or release an accused.However, if you disregard these flaws, this movie is a quite an interesting watch and all the 12 guys are well characterized.
