Starring: Myra Karn, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan.
My rating: three and a half stars.
The movie is about an NDTV correspondent, Meera (Rani Mukherjee), who describes the Jessica Lal murder case, who was murdered by Manu Sharma, a politician’s son. It starts with the way the family and friends were affected by it and goes on to show how the almighty politicians took over and turned the case around in their favour. The second half of the movie tells the role of the media in bringing justice to the victim and family by creating a nation-wide wave of awareness about justice declined.
It was a good movie where the concept was concerned. Even the cinematography was good to some extent but the movie had its short-falls. The whole i-am-a-tough-girl-who-swears thing didn’t work out for Rani. There wasn’t an ease and a flow with which she swore. The media was hyped more than what was warranted by the plot which reduced the charm of Indianism. All in all, a one time watch.
