Ek Ruka Hua Faisla : Power Of Communication
Ek Ruka Hua Faisla is a movie about 19 years old boy who was a suspect for murder of his father. There was a committee of 12 people assigned to decide whether boy was culprit or not. This is a movie about different organizational behavior. In this movie we observe the entire decision making process, where each individual had different perception and different behavior in particular situation. Their personal opinion leads them to one wrong decision first but later on with just one leading, convincing, neutral and practical individual, they were able to think on the other side of the case and finally they reached to right conclusion.
It was the 12th Juror, who did not agree to this decision. He declared that he did not imply that the accused was innocent. His only argument was that one cannot simply jump to any conclusion without examining all the data and assess the truth. He justified that a person’s life was at stake and jurors should discuss all the factors associated with the case. He was interrupted by most of the jurors as some of them were in a hurry. Almost everybody had some excuse or other for going home or elsewhere. How the jurors arrived at the final decision after volatile interactions is what the movie is about.
In “Ek Ruka Hua Faisla”, the focus is on the ‘process’ – it is not what happens but how it happens. The main aspect that is highlighted is how our mental models influence our data selection, understanding and actions. Although we assert that our perspectives and decisions should be based on data / information, even the data or information we select and what meanings we give them also depends on how we have grown up and our past experiences.
The 12th Juror began the whole process of re-examination of available evidences in the case using the Socratic Method. He kept giving his arguments and tried to re-consider all the facts related to the case and many jurors started taking interest in
