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.

‘No One Killed Jessica’ starts with a detailed disclaimer about it being a hybrid between fact and dramatization. And that struck me as pleasantly surprising given the standard disclaimers we get to see in all our films, even if they are based on true events. For starters, it set my expectations right. It was pretty clear that expecting gritty realism would be out of place, but I could surely count on honesty of intention and a generous helping of entertainment and if I was in luck, a thought-provoking comment on the state of affairs in the country. Fair enough. But by the time the end credits rolled in, I was wondering if the detailed disclaimer was more of a hasty afterthought than a clear conviction.
