Review of No One Killed Jessica (2011) by Adam W — 15 Jan 2011
It's within the Bollywood tradition, not the independent indian cinema, so it's commercial to a degree. But overall, a incredible - and unfortunately - true story, with beautiful images and compellling performances from the main actors.
Even though we know the end, for people who know the story, it's still told with good rhythm and the tension is maintained throughout the film. The film is also relevant, particularly at a time when India is hit by corruption and with the media losing credibility with the recent scandal involving several prominent news outlets.
The film is a bit lengthy and would have more punchy by shaving about 15 minutes. Also, I don't think it benefits the film to add songs in a drama like this. Overall, highly recommended.
