Ek Rukaa Hua Faislaa एक रुका हुआ फ़ैसला

In honour of emotional memory I decided to watch a movie which I had earlier watched many years ago. And hoola, I tumbled upon this hindi movie of 1985. This is starring 13 men, Pankaj Kapoor, K K Raina, Kureshi among them. The plotis very simple. A young boy of 19 years has been charged with murdering his father. These twelve men are juries whose decision is going to decide his fate. If they decide 'guilty' then he will be hanged. They are closeted into a room with no external contact. They can take all their time but have to ome out with a unanimus verdict.
The movie starts with a rakhwaldar ushering these 12 men into a room. There is a lot of banter about how the boy is a murderer and should eb severly punished. They immediately decide on voting to seal the decision. 11 men unequivocally vote 'guilty', but one man says he is simply not sure and needs some discussion. After lot of heated arguments others relent. They agree to logically convince the 12th person. And what actually unfolds is an intense emotinal drama. Its amazing to w atch how our emotions decide our logic, from hypothesis to conclusion.
Its a very fast paced drama which unfolds in a single room. Yes, believe me, in one big room. No flashbacks, no dreams, no fighting, no jumping around. Still a amazing pace.
In a hindi movie style this movie too, is a bit tool bold and loud, and characters well demarked. But if you discount these then you are in for a intense interpaly of human emotions and characters. Believe me, its worth this much discounting
I got it in a video library. So its easily accessible.
