It does not excruciate the audience by following the never-ending case in minute detail, and perhaps that's where it scores the most. No One Killed Jessica is a fast-paced feature which tries to work more on the emotional level. This aspect of the film is very well portrayed, and well, the courtroom scenes are just fascinating. A woman was brutally murdered and it takes many years until justice actually prevails. And here the law is dumber than ever, and the funny thing is that it's actually the truth. It's a funny paradox that many times people use to laugh at the fact that politicians and other powerful figures are presented as corrupt and hypocrites in Indian movies, calling it stereotypical. Both women seek justice which does not seem to be coming because the murderer is none other than the son of an influential politician.
No One Killed Jessica centres around two characters: Sabrina Lal, the quiet sister of the late Jessica, and Meera Gaity, a foul-mouthed hot-blooded journalist. Rarely do pictures of this sort get made in India, sadly, while in foreign countries, this has already become a well-known movie formula. The story is real, but many cinematic ingredients are added to make it more alluring. It does not chronicle in any way the entire case with all its real-life elements. The story may be based on a real-life event, but it never depends on it. The movie does not work as a docudrama but more as a dramatic thriller which is effectively fictionalised in large portions to tell a story. Raj Kumar Gupta's No One Killed Jessica is based on the true story of the murder of model Jessica Lal.
