Waha hote toh...udd jaate saale tote

To be honest, I was too biased even before going for this movie. I just loved the director's previous work AAMIR and was ready for yet another masterpiece from this maker. Sadly this is not as good as previous one and luckily this is not as bad either.
To put it in simple word, No one killed Jessica is compromised movie. Not sure, if its economics or to reach larger audience. But this one surely gives you Masala Movie experience. Not that I am complaining!!!
We all know what happened with Jessica Lall so I am straight coming to the things that I liked and those I did not.
Performances - Vidya Balan is top notch with her behenji but definitive taking due justice of her sister's murder. Her transformation from dull and shaken girl in her early 30's to rejected and dejected lady in late 30's is awesome. There is a striking scene in courtroom where she suddenly starts giggling, that's so poignant to show that there is still a dull but little kid inside her. Another moment when she burst on her father for letting Jesica's murder's parents get into their house. One more towards the climax where she broke down at Jesica's grave and says Thanks to Rani. Vidya Balan's Sabrina is undoubtedly superb, those who appreciate subtly would love it.
On the other hand Rani's portrayal of Mira [character largely drawn from Barkha Dutt], a super bitch reporter from NDTV looks too labored. A definite commercial compromise to add little masala to this otherwise docudrama movie.
Both the central characters gets establish in first few moments of the movie and carries the same characteristics throughout the movie.The director gives equal time and chance to both leads to show their talent.
The Third lead is however is most impactful and that is Amit Trivedi's sound. This guy is surely  the NEXT BIG THING in bollywood. His music has it's own soul and that adds to the tension of this movie. I am already crazy about Dilli track and the soulful Dua...is my latest favorite.
The movie has few gripping moments but it never haunts you as AAMIR did [I might be unreasonable comparative but I was expecting way too much :)]
NOKJ is a good masala movie for sure, go with little of expectations and you won't complain!!
