Srijit Mukherji is back with a bang. The hand behind thrillers like Baishe Srabon and Dwitiyo Purush delves into the complex human psyche again.
The story begins with a birthday celebration for the veteran judge. His nephew, who feels stuck in his corporate job, comes to visit. His filmmaker daughter comes home late in an inebriated state. There is a poet, a designer, a businessman, an advertisement worker, and many more. Soon, these 12 juries delve into deciding the verdict for a crime. A unanimous decision is required, and juries clash.
S. Mukherji is a genius creator whose seamless creation always fits the right spot. His way of adapting Reginald's Twelve Angry Men is seamless and intriguing. The conflict starts with the judge falling asleep and 12 juries appear in her dream. It is Mukherji's subtle yet neat style of weaving a story that keeps the subplot seamlessly within the narrative. Mukherjee has the envision to bring layers within one frame.
Parambrata Chattopadhyay bears the torch of putting the narrative in motion. From questioning the evidence and verdict to raising a finger over opinions, he is the center of the attention. Kaushik Ganguli as the convinced judge along with Soureseni Mitra, Ananya Chatterjee, Kanchan Mullick, Rahul Banerjee, and Anirban Chakraborty leaves a lasting impression. Tomar Ghore is the rustic element that playful swirls between psyche and reality.
This tale is not just a cinema but raises questions and needful doubts over every decision and verdict that comes quicker than presumed.
