'No One Killed Jessica' Movie Review

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 09:28 PM PST

'No One Killed Jessica' Movie ReviewDirector: Raj Kumar Gupta; Actors: Vidya Balan, Rani Mukerji; Rating: *** 1/2

On April 29, 1999 a shot was fired from a .22 bore pistol whose loud reverberations lasted over a decade. The shot that killed a vivacious, aspiring model Jessica Lall was fired in the presence of more than 100 'socialites' present at a party in New Delhi. Yet, accused Manu Sharma walked free in 2006 prompting a newspaper headline that read "No One Killed Jessica".

In the ensuing decade, Venod Sharma, father of the accused and a high profile congress leader, paid millions of rupees to silence witnesses. It was not until the Tehelka Magazine did a sting investigation and Star News aired the footage that justice was finally served.

"No One Killed Jessica" faithfully follows the case to emerge a winner.

Almost everyone knows the story. Yet, the film makes some interesting departures to keep the momentum going. A Barkha Dutt type character has been introduced in Rani Mukerji though the former did not have much to do with the case or its reinstatement. However, Rani lacks the intensity to pull off such a strong role and the strain shows.

On the other hand, Vidya Balan soars with the unglamorous, distraught and hunchbacked portrayal of Jessica's sister.

Director Raj Kumar Gupta makes direct comment on the society we live in, its voyeuristic tendencies and the judiciary's disregard for justice. Everyone knows the extent of corruption and rot in the system as symptomised by the acquittal of Manu Sharma, but the question as always is who would bell the cat if the police and judiciary do not.

In this case Tehelka, who did the sting investigation and Star News (and not NDTV that walks away with the praises in the film) that aired the footages did manage to right a wrong. But the question is not just of Jessica Lall, but the thousands like her whose cases have not had the light of justice shine upon them.

The Jessica Lall murder thus became an emblem of the rot in the democracy, police and judiciary.

The truth is, the culprits were not just Manu Sharma, his friends and his family, but Shayan Munshi who redacted his statements leading to Manu's acquittal and Bina Ramani, both of whom continue to have successful careers, one as an actor-model and the latter as a heedless socialite. The culprit is all of us who stay silent to the injustice all around us.

The injustice done in Jessica's case has been corrected, but the question remains of the millions of other cases of injustice in the country.

Gupta's film on a true incident bodes well for Bollywood, which is normally not too keen on reality, and the concept of justice itself. Yet, the question is not who killed Jessica Lall, but as the gross miscarriage of injustice in Kashmir, central and northeast India and the thousands of pending cases in the country show -- it is: who killed justice in India?


'Fair Game' Movie Review

Posted: 07 Jan 2011 09:26 PM PST

'Fair Game' Movie ReviewFilm: "Fair Game"; Cast: Naomi Watts, Sean Penn; Director: Doug Liman; Rating: **** 1/2

What do you do when you know an indisputable truth, but everyone around believes the lie? If you are one not blindly focused on meek self-preservation, you'll speak out.

Valerie Palme (Watts) faithfully served CIA for 15 years. But when her ex-US ambassador husband Joe (Penn) writes an article in 2003 exposing the Bush administration's lie about Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) in Iraq, thus making the entire invasion illegitimate, she and her family become fair game (easy target) for everyone.

Despite having been let down by her own agency, she maintains her silence while her husband wages a lone war. This brilliant film asks us -- who benefits from silence of the ones who know the truth and what is our individual duty in such a situation?

The truth, much as we deny it, is that governments lie -- proven endlessly by history with the legitimacy of almost every war of the last 100 years marred by what we now know were lies. Even the biggest war of this millennium - the Iraq war - is based on a huge and fabricated lie, that of WMDs.

Yet the greatness of the political thriller based on two books on the true story of CIA agent Valerie Palme is that it does not take the easy path of entirely blaming the administration. Instead, it sets out on the proven assumption that governments lie but it is upon individuals to keep their lies in check by exposing them.

And that is where Valerie fails. She is afraid, and rightly so. After all, how can two people take on the might of an entire nation without being buried alive in its repercussions? But sometimes individuals have to sacrifice personal safety, for the true greater good.

Political thrillers are many, but one that covers so many perspectives, without losing focus on any, is a rare achievement. "Fair Game" achieves that with delicate aplomb, mixing the political with the personal with an adroitness, which has rarely been seen in cinema.

The film is filled with brilliant moments which sharp minds will not miss. In one, a father and son inside a car in Baghdad hear gunshots. In just that brief minute's scramble, without showing a gun or blood, director Doug Liman gives us a glimpse of the horrors of war.

In yet another, the film shows how governments use semantics and 'Chinese whispers' when after a news report about the discovery of aluminium tubes, people discuss how tubes 'filled with uranium' have been found in Iraq. It subtly tells us that while the truth is putting on its shoes, the lie travels the world and comes out bigger and stronger.

The film brilliantly goes beyond cliches to juxtapose real footages of George Bush lying about WMDs with fiction asking the question who was made fair game - Valerie, citizens of the US or the entire world?

The suggestion in the end is that those who have the privilege to know the truth are dutybound to say it. That is the only way to ensure that one makes a game fair and not make fair game of others.

"Getting to host a dance reality show is a different high altogether as I know how contestants feel on stage before and after their performance because I have been a contestant once and can relate to their feelings," Shweta said in a press statement.

"Dance India Dance Doubles" will see three judges - Geeta Kapoor, Rajeev Surthi and Marzi Pestonji, apart from 'mahaguru' Mithun Chakraborty.

Shweta, who was the runner-up in the first season of "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" in 2006, says she is passionate about dance, and is looking forward to learn a lot while hosting the show.

"I have worked with all three judges in the past and know their individual strengths and I am looking forward to learn not only from them, but also from the contestants, who I believe are far more talented than I can ever be," said the actress, who is a trained classical singer.

She started her career with Zee TV's "Hip Hip Hurray", after which she did a host of acting and modelling assignments.

Among her popular serials are "Lipstick", "Saarrkar" and "Left Right Left". She made her Bollywood debut with "Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi".

Hollywood star Brad Pitt in talks to play John Lennon?London, Jan 7 (IANS) Hollywood actor Brad Pitt is reportedly in talks to produce and star in a biopic about the life of legendary Beatle John Lennon.

The 47-year-old actor is believed to have met Yoko Ono, the widow of the late Beatle, to discuss playing the role. Yoko Ono was impressed by his plans to learn to sing and master the Liverpool accent, consequently giving the project her "blessing".

According to reports, no director has been named for the project based on the "Imagine" hitmaker who was shot in 1980 in New York by crazed fan Mark Chapman.
