The script was strong, and off-course stories like these have had been a common happening in an around India because of its corrupt bureaucratic and judicial systems. The story has been told through the narration of Meera (Rani Mukherjee), who is a reporter with NDTV and has strong character and presence in the movie. It starts with the scene set in Kargil where the nation is fighting a war with the infiltrators from our neighboring country and it flows seamlessly to celebrity party set up in New Delhi where an innocent a girl - jessica Lall, is fatally shot just because she did not budge in to the demand of an extra glass of drink, from the kin of a influential politician. The story that follows is an ordeal of two ladies Sabrina and Meera.
Sabrina Lall (Vidya Balan) is the younger sister of Jessica who fights relentlessly for 7 long years jut to be denied justice. Then comes the second part where Meera takes in the case and shows how media can and could be powerful enough to change the face of this corrupt judiciary, law enforcement and bureaucratic system.
Both Vidya balan and Rani Mukherjee have shown strong screen presence. I must agree Vidya is turning out to be a actor with strong sense of script and the role. Direction has been good through out except that Meera's character could have been done with less 'F$#k You' and 'WTF' words. Music did not impress much, but scripts like these can do with out songs.
All in all a good package.....worth 3 start
-----------
Rating - 3***
