"After almost 8 years of turmoil, she finally got what she and her family deserved. JUSTICE"
"Delhi is about Power, aur Power sirf taqatwar logo ke haath hoti hai.. AAm aadmi ke paas hoti hai to sirf use sehne ki aadat.. This was a fact but I was not ready to live with it." The movie starts off with 'What is Delhi?', the narrator Meera Gaity, a renowned journalist of NDTV which I believe is the spoof on Barkha Dutt (Kargil coverage) tells how she could never understand the city and its people though being brought up there, the visuals of the typical 'delhiites' getting in to fights on trivial things, the roads making you oh so nostalgic, sometimes for the very wrong reasons too!!
The movie moves on with a steady pace gripping the audience on what's going to happen next, often keeping you unmoved with its nail-biting sequences. As a fast pace crime thriller it totally does justice to the true story where a 34-year-old Jessica Lall was shot brutally when she refused to serve the 'power inebriated' spoiled Manu Sharma.
The first half of the story takes you on a ride of truth in the world of the 'Rich and Corrupted' and the ordeal of the common man stuck into the whirlpool of complexities. The background score makes every scene having a much larger impact as you get sucked into this mystery. Amit Trivedi *bows down* does an awesome job on the Dilli track, I kept on singing it through out the movie, even all the way in the metro, pissing off many people I guess (they kept on giving me weird looks, yea fine I can't sing Salla).
Rani Mukherjee, now who said she has taken an ultimate exile from B-town? She sure is back and that too with a bang, as Meera Gaity an amazing news-hounding 'bitch' journalist who can't control herself from spewing curses to get her work done, another impeccable performance was of Vidya Balan as Sabrina Lall, an ordinary lass who tirelessly fights for justice for her sister. Her simplicity, the dialog delivery, body language, her silent screams, her tears would make you feel what Sabrina must have really felt and stealing your heart away in the process. "kya kisi ki zindagi ki keemat, itni kam hai hamari country mein?" this question really shakes you up..
Myra, the newcomer, does not that bad a performance as Jessica, in fact I would say she was indeed one of the highlights of the movie other than the part of Jessica's mother played by Geeta Sudan also the part of the Police Officer played by Rajesh Sharma is just immaculate. The script till the first half is totally flawless though I felt the second half lacked something, it missed a certain fervor it had sustained earlier.
Its sad, will make you feel totally agitated due to all the wrong that is there in our system and how the 'aam aadmi' is always the victim and his tireless trials and tribulation in order to strive what he deserves.
Its true that 'Justice Delayed is indeed Justice Denied' but it is at least some justice!
The movie is a MUST WATCH for everybody, though it would make you feel disgusted about the judiciary and the trend of 'If you are rich then you can get away with anything', still lights a ray of hope to keep on fighting. Also the movie projects Media on a positive side, makes me happy (me being a media student), the fact that we, the people who are the part of Media, can do things in a right way if we keep aside our own selfish desire to get high TRPs.
Rajkumar Gupta does it again after the much acclaimed Aamir!!
No One Killed Jessica surely nailed it!!!
*hums Aali Re.. Saali Re.... Muh khole to Gaali Re*( shit even my mom is giving the similar weird looks)
