In the times when the cinema halls are flooded with pathetic soulless movies like "Tees Mar Khan" and "Yamla Pagla Diwana" etc, I started to think that Bollywood has lost it to just masala and cheap comedy..and they just want to make money by fooling viewers, "No One Killed Jassica" turned out to be amazingly good movie restoring my faith in film industry. Not just because its based on a sensational real life episode, but because it has lot of things that a good movie should have. The casting itself was very impressive and background music through out the movie was catchy. Very good performance by Rani Mukherjee and also by Vidya Balan. Coming to the storyline, this movie has very realistically depicted the whole episode. Its neither a documentary nor there is any overacting.
We all live in a world of our own and deny that anything wrong is going to happen to us.But when it happens in front of our eyes..we just can not sit and watch things to go on. Jassica episode was a symbol of how influential and powerful get away even after committing a heinous crime. The poor state of judiciary and helplessness of the police, everybody knows but no one does anything about it. The frustration of the inspector for not being able to convict the criminal is well represented in the movie.
How a small idea can become a nation wide campaign gives us a hope that if the public is made aware then public opinion can bring the accountability and check the powerful from buying the system. The inspiration for candle march as India Gate is one such example.
Some of the small scenes are superb. In one scene when a man teases Jassica's sister, She runs after that man and beats him to his embarrassment. At this her sister says .."Jaane do" (Leave it), she replies.. "Tu kahegi to chhor doongi...Ye dilli hai...ladna seekh..aaj chhoo ke gaya hai..kal rape karke jayega."
(I won't let him go unpunished..this is delhi..you should fight..today he has just touched you..and if you don't fight back..tomorrow he can rape you as well.").
This movie make us think that if we don't react and fight back...what kind of future we are going to have. When mistrust and insecurity are there, how can one say that "Viswas pe duniya kayam hai".(The world is running on trust).
I would say "Must watch" movie. I give it score 3.5 out of 5.
