New Delhi, 1999. The guns at Kargil are still blazing when another one goes off, this time in the nation's capital. Jessica, a young attractive model trying her hand at bartending, is shot dead at a celebrity party. Her crime - refusing to serve a drink after closing hours! The culprit Manish, son of a prominent politician, inebriated by a deadly cocktail of alcohol and a sense of entitlement, pulls the trigger in a fit of rage.

With 300 of Delhi's swish set present at the party, many of whom are witnesses to the murder, Manish looks all set to go to the gallows. Except, that it doesn't quite turn out that way!

Now two women, Jessica's sister, Sabrina and the feisty TV reporter, Meera will have to drum up every resource at their disposal to outwit Manish at his own game, if the truth is to have any chance of prevailing over money and political clout.

A smart, sophisticated film about an imperfect heroine is dominated by its near-perfect heroines

This uneasy mix of truth and creative license; subtle notes and heavy-handedness make for an uneven film that in places seems stretched unnecessarily That said No One Killed Jessica is several notches ahead of the tripe we’ve been subjected to in theatres lately

With the exception of a few powerful scenes that leave you with a genuine lump in your throat, Gupta goes for full-on melodrama that doesn't always ring true

The narrative is gripping, the music score uplifting, the screenplay tight enough to allow for very few slippages

There are some fine, stand-out moments. What detracts are some obvious filmi touches

Outlook

This film is more than the sum of its actors’ abilities. It’s important because it brings to the big screen a kind of vivid realism which uses a director’s prerogative to dramatise

A compelling, dramatic and moving experience. No One Killed Jessica is a fitting reminder of what is wrong with our society, but also of what is right.

The pace is frenetic, the language forceful, the collapse of witnesses shocking

For once someone put their money where their brain is. And their heart. You can’t miss the film’s intention and it puts that forward with a lot of temerity. If this is as real as reel can get, we’ll take it.

Filmfare

The film has an impeccable first half and could do with some editing in the second half. But the high drama, the arresting performances and the spunky audio track make NOKJ a memorable viewing.
