Lifetime Regret

Basically a courtroom drama, Sumi is arrested and brought for a trial after her husband, Aditya’s penis is stabbed and he is rendered dysfunctional. Sumi is suffering in her marriage because of her husband's illness. She doesn’t leave him for the sake of her children. However, when she finds that her husband is having an affair with Lena, she loses her patience. She plans to kill her husband while he is sleeping, but the plan fails. Instead of actually killing him, she accidentally stabs him in the penis. At the end of the trial, their second baby dies, and it creates a lifetime of regret.

Directed by Frank Rorimpandey, Lifetime Regret leans on a strong ensemble — Dewi Yull, Cok Simbara, Joice Erna — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1986.
