Movie Review - No One Killed Jessica

A movie based on a true incident - killing of a model by a politico's son high on power and money muscle. The murderer almost gets away but public outcry against the verdict aided by intense media pressure and speculation gets justice for the model's family.

The movie has 2 powerful lady actors in Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan - comparisions are bound to be made.

Rani plays the fiesty reporter who gets behind the story and sting operations leading to the public out cry against the verdict. Its an author backed role which will get the ceetes and claps and it does. But as a performance I don't think this is her best. She gets to mouth gaalis galore which reminds me of her senseless and useless movies with Bobby Deol where she played the same characters.

Vidya Balan was expected to come out trumps given the character she was playing - the sister of the murdered model - who fights for justice. But her body language was too droopy and one dimensional to give any strength to the character.

Rest of the cast is ok - the mother of the muderer son is gratingly irritating. Characters of the main witness and the owner of the place where the murder take place --- if they actually did what was shown in the movie , they are wimps.

Music is too loud and noisy - ditto with the back ground score.

Editing could have been tighter which would have improved the thriller feel of the movie.

Verdict - 2.5/5. An over hyped movie that isn't really that good.
