Ek Ruka Hua Faisla (1986)
Great Acting
"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.
The Quick and the Dead (1995)
quite typically!!!
Wow!! never thought Hollywood would emulate Bollywood. This really reminded me of Sholay Hollywood-style. Gene Hackman plays Gabbar Singh. Russell Crowe is the brooding hero (u know who!!). Sharon Stone as the avenging heroine, and DiCaprio plays the role of (i guess) Sachin.
Nevertheless, good performances.. ... and good camera work..
Good... did not have to rack my brains too much. it was plain simple entertainment
Psst..has there been a Hindi adaptation of this movie?? Would love to see Naseeruddin Shah playing Hackman's role, Abhishek Bachan in Crowe's role, and maybe Rani Mukherjee in Sharon Stone's role.
