Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

majesticjay This is one of those few movies which you can't judge on any basis. Whatever I write in this review, it is not because I want to judge it, but because after watching the movie, even at 4am in the morning, I felt I couldn't go to sleep unless I inform others how good a movie it is.Excellent performances from Rani Mukherjee (Meera, a brave journalist) and Vidya Balan (Sabrina, Jessica's sister). Excellent story-telling by director Rajkumar Gupta. Very nice picturization and background score is awesome. There are no cheesy dialogues or songs popping out of nowhere (like in a typical bollywood movie). Very bold and witty dialogues and perfect flow of the story keeps you hooked throughout. At the end of the movie it leaves the viewers with a message - that one has to fight for right and justice.If you have not watched it, stop reading reviews and buy an original DVD.

DesiBaba It is great to see these kinds of movies coming out of Bollywood of late (thanks to Ronnie Screwwala -- its amazing how many gems have this guy produced of late!) Direction is pretty good, nice follow up to Aamir. 8/10. The topic itself is not really new or novel. Another Raj Kumar (Santoshi) has brought similar social themes via movies in the past (to great effect, one might say). Really good attention to details such as the air-hostess's dress or Windows 98 computer in the news director's office. Amit Trivedi/Amitabh Bhattachrya music/lyrics combo was brilliant once again (after Dev D).Two impressive performances -- Rani is near flawless as always. The guy who portrays the PI who first investigated the case also stands out. The rest of the cast was okay, Vidya was under par, I thought. I thought the movie would have been better if the reason/circumstances surrounding the murder had not been shown at all (the scene at the night club/bar). I don't think the first two scenes were entirely necessary. Let the moron have his drink for chrissake! Whats a few milliliters of alcohol? The guy shot the ceiling already and you're still gonna argue with this imbecile! There is absolutely no way to condone a murder such as this one, but the scene at the bar does not do any favors to the memory of Jessica, it is what it is, I guess...Overall the movie is depressing; if eye witnesses can indeed be bought off like this, it bodes really poorly for the future of India as a culture and society. As Rani said "ours is a soft state, na?"). I thought that was in stark contrast with the Indian military pushing back the terrorists and the pakistani army at Tiger mountains (Kargill). In the end the case had a just resolution, but majority of such cases don't go "viral" with the media or resonate with the populace -- in most cases like these justice is often denied.

Peter Young Raj Kumar Gupta's No One Killed Jessica is based on the true story of the murder of model Jessica Lal. The movie does not work as a docudrama but more as a dramatic thriller which is effectively fictionalised in large portions to tell a story. The story may be based on a real-life event, but it never depends on it. It does not chronicle in any way the entire case with all its real-life elements. The story is real, but many cinematic ingredients are added to make it more alluring. Rarely do pictures of this sort get made in India, sadly, while in foreign countries, this has already become a well-known movie formula. No One Killed Jessica centres around two characters: Sabrina Lal, the quiet sister of the late Jessica, and Meera Gaity, a foul-mouthed hot-blooded journalist. Both women seek justice which does not seem to be coming because the murderer is none other than the son of an influential politician.It's a funny paradox that many times people use to laugh at the fact that politicians and other powerful figures are presented as corrupt and hypocrites in Indian movies, calling it stereotypical. And here the law is dumber than ever, and the funny thing is that it's actually the truth. A woman was brutally murdered and it takes many years until justice actually prevails. This aspect of the film is very well portrayed, and well, the courtroom scenes are just fascinating. No One Killed Jessica is a fast-paced feature which tries to work more on the emotional level. It does not excruciate the audience by following the never-ending case in minute detail, and perhaps that's where it scores the most. The movie may be a bit unsettling but at the same time it is inspiring to see how a majority of ordinary citizens take the power to their hands by just uniting and fighting against injustice together.While watching Rani Mukherjee's strong-minded and assertive journalist Meera, her lawyer Saamiya Siddiqui from Veer-Zaara often comes to the mind, although the characters are different. She evidently enjoys playing her part, but at the same time suffers from it. I don't know if she was the prefect choice for it, frankly. Her line delivery is not that of a news presenter, and she is endlessly given an opportunity to curse, swear and insult her colleagues. Now that's not a strong character make, and at times it looks like the otherwise graceful lady is terribly miscast. Having said that and barring the fact that something is missing in this performance, Rani is still pretty good. Some of her fans may be surprised because her role is not that lengthy, and maybe that's why the director tries to make it so bold, but the actress does occasionally manage to rise above these poor attempts by honestly portraying Meera's feisty nature, her tough outside, and her soft inside.And without the slightest of doubt, it is Vidya Balan who owns the film with her sincere and heartfelt act. Balan looks impossibly authentic in the role and skillfully captures the essence of Sabrina. Although the film does not always portray her character in a positive light, Balan wins it over by creating a simple and understated portrait of anguish, despair and courage. The film's music is so-so, with some songs, like that energetic "Dilli" song, being really fun and enjoyable and others just dragging the narrative to no end. All said and done, No One Killed Jessica is definitely not without its flaws but is still an interesting and entertaining picture. It does not always ring true, and some aspects of it are overdone, the character of Meera being the prime example. The ending in particular turns into an emotional ride which leans more on drama rather than on an actual and deep message, but in the end, it just grows on you and ultimately leaves a mark.

nalla3344 This case is not just about a girl or a killer, it's about justice and people want it. We need to wake up, understand the force of our voice and how powerful it is.What we can do? Open your network (Twitter, Facebook, SMS, pamphlets, voice (I mean it...real vocal chords)) enough of our chat about last night parties, look around for those innocent brothers sisters who need our support. WATCH OUT !!!!!!When Mubarak was over-throne, Egypt rejoiced. I believe in enlightenment, unity. I felt still there is hope for majdur (common man).
