And, film director Raj Kumar Gupta of the 'Aamir' fame leaves no stone unturned to present the case as emotionally as possible with the assistance of his screenplay and dialogues aided by excellent performances of the primary as good as the supporting cast. Hence, the movie deserves a watch. The film begins with Rani Mukherji playing the case of Meera Geyti talking about Delhiites' boast of their being above the law. You may think that this is Rani's kind of a comeback movie after her flop 'Dil Bole Hadappa'. With this, she regains her position in the industry. Here, she plays a TV journalist who had covered the Indo-Pak Kargil war, but considers the Jessica Lall's brutal murder as a closed case. On second thought, she decides to take the culprits to justice, and starts working on it. As said above, model Jessica Lall while running in a chic night club in south Delhi is killed by a power-driven young son of a politician. Her fault is that as bartender she refuses to give Manish played by Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub a drink. In wrath he shoots her at point-blank. She succumbs while being interpreted to a hospital. So, her sister Sabrina Lall decides to seek justice; she struggles hard in society which reflects contemporary Indian scenario where the law is full of loopholes and just unfavorable for commoners. But, Vidya Balan in the case of Jessica's sister Sabrina Lall, continues her fight . Luckily for her, Meera Gaity (Rani) as a determined journalist comes to her help. So too the masses through their constant movement help her; they take a candle light march at India Gate to give the eyes of the authorities. The cast comprising top stars likes of Rani Mukherjee and Vidya Balan shoulder the movie. Both enter into the skins of their characters. Rani's performance is considered the better ever so far, and Vidya Balan's isn't far behind. In fact, she plays the major use as Sabrina Lall. She reflects a commoner's courageous struggle for survival against all kinds of odds in the metros of India. The like way, Rajesh Sharma as a cop fares brilliantly. He pursues odd roles inasmuch as he haves bribe to take charge of a politician's son while in the police custody and also helps the opposition party in their good cause. The film has weak points too; it's repetitive at times and lacks tight editing and the consequently bores at some places. However, the like is remedied to a large extent by the cast's brilliant performance, the cinematographer's equally poignant portrayal of the great and more importantly Amit Trivedi's music, especially his Dilli Dilli and Aali Re songs. Significantly, the film is a moral for commoners to campaign for their rights until they get justice as it can be delayed but not denied for long. The movie's story proves it beyond doubt.
