No One Killed Jessica
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Some films rip your heart out and keep it on the table as it lies beating. You watch in frozen fascination, knowing it will eventually stop.
-
...the high drama, the arresting performances and the spunky audio track (Amit Trivedi) make NOKJ a memorable viewing.
-
This gutsy film deserves a standing ovation!
-
...the film gives us, what we need most - the strength to fight our fights and the hope that we will get what we deserved all along - justice.
-
...one helluva knockout of a movie, the sort which lingers in the heart and mind long after its 16 reels have ended on a note of hope and interiorised glory.
-
It is proof that a relevant issue -- if portrayed cleverly on celluloid -- can be a statement of our times, while maintaining the entertainment quotient.
-
A smart, sophisticated film...
-
...a persuasive powerful and pungent docu-drama.
-
...wish that a film, given its conscience-awakening plot, was more hard-hitting!
-
...even if there are a few flaws, the film moves you. And nothing is above that.
-
The young director has successfully mixed a real story with fiction and result is a fast- paced entertaining thriller.
-
In the end, despite its cinematic excellence, the film remains a mixed bag because it shies away from pushing the envelope further.
-
...a good film no doubt, but certain drawbacks prevent it from being a tout, slick and great film.
-
...director Raj Kumar Gupta, who had left us wanting more with his debut film Aamir, does disappoint us. Post his tremendous first film this is not quite the best follow up. He could have done better. Nonetheless, No One Killed Jessica is a film you mustn't miss.
-
...a fictionalised documentary devoid of novelty and drama- a bit too dry for a Bollywood commercial film.
-
...is in places, powerful and moving. But it's also loud, simplistic and somewhat schizophrenic in tone
-
You can't miss the film's intention and it puts that forward with a lot of temerity.
-
The narrative is gripping, the music score (Amit Trivedi) uplifting, the screenplay tight enough to allow for very few slippages (only towards the end).
-
...a serious and gutsy movie...
-
...isn't a bad film; it's just a disappointing one from a filmmaker who showed such promise with his debut film 'Aamir'. This one falls short.
-
Gupta manages to pull off a film about media activism, and the enormous power of the people, and how they can explosively combine if harnessed for the greater good.
-
Sure, it's a well written, dramatic re-telling, but somewhere it becomes a bit filmy and flamboyant, which is a pity.
-
Gupta's film on a true incident bodes well for Bollywood, which is normally not too keen on reality, and the concept of justice itself.
-
Gupta has the onerous task of telling a story (Jessica Lall murder case) which most of his viewers would already know. Nonetheless, he manages to keep the familiar quite engaging.
-
The film could have made some telling comments on the misuse of power by the high and mighty, but instead, it takes some creative liberties in places where it could have easily avoided it.
-
There are some fine, stand-out moments. What detracts are some obvious filmi touches.
-
...a noble presentation but an exhausting movie experience.
