One man against eleven, in a closed room. One man, arguing peacefully, in the face of heated oppostion, for what he believes is right - viz. any human life is expensive and should not be jeopardized without ample thought.

His weapon - logic.

His asset - doubt. A doubt which he recognizes, tries to clarify rationally and unbiasedly.

His enemies - eleven men, some of whom are sarcastic, some angry, some indifferent and all of them impatient.

The end - His victory.

This is a hindi re-make of 12 Angry Men, a 1957 Hollywood movie which is in turn based on a play of the same title penned by Reginald Rose.

My review will take three words only - An Objectivist's delight.

Check out the movie on You Tube.

The lone-ranger protagonist played by K.K. Raina is an architect by profession!
