NO ONE KILLED JESSICA

Director/screenplay-Raj kumar gupta
music-amit trivedi
starring-vidya balan,rani mukherjee

 I was expecting this and here it is,a hattrick of powerpacked performances by vidya balan.After 'paa' and 'ishqiya' its 'no one killed jessica'.Vidya not only does full justice to the role of sabrina lal but also,the shy and bespectacled vidya is very adorable.Alongside is rani mukherjee who also does good but is overshadowed by the might of vidya balan.
     
The plot of the story is based on the real happenning of the jessica lal murder case.
The son of a minister after being refused drinks by a bartender girl shoots her at a socialite party and runs away and we come to know that this girl jessica lal(myra karn) is the sister of sabrina lal(vidya balan).An FIR is filed and the killers are caught this is followed by prime witness and all the other witness' turning hostile also going through interesting sequences of witness interrogation and the courtroom proceedings the court takes two years to rule that jessica was not killed by the minister's son.Simultaneously we are introduced to meera(abusive rani mukherjee) who is a journalist,a very dedicated one of NDTV.She thinks the jessica case is very easy and the killer is fucked and cannot be free so she doesnt think it is important enough, atleast for her profile after reporting live from kargil,but is shocked at the court ruling.And she decides to take up the the case and comes up with a plan.

A little bit of overacting by the side actors try to take away the brilliance of the direction but is not successful.NOKJ is equal on entertainment quotient and is not shown as a biography.
I cant think of another actress who could ve done the role of sabrina lal better than vidya balan.The movie has moments which would make you cry.And no comments on the abuse filled dialogues of rani mukherjee.

NOKJ should not be missed.watch it.And i would give it 3½ out of 5.the extra half is again for the powerful scenes of vidya balan.

RATING-3½ / 5
