No One Killed Jessica....the most talked about & long awaited film these days for obvious reasons that its based on a true story of "Jessica Lal" but what added to the anxiety for this film are veteran actors Rani Mukherjee & Vidya Balan. This curiosity & anxiety struck me hard & I rushed to watch this movie on the second day of release. When I settled down on my seat in the theater waiting for the show to begin, I already knew somewhere that the movie would be worth humongous accolades, the promos conveyed it all! Being a person with interest in media, I had kept in mind to notice every minute details of the technicalities & creative aspects of the film as I felt that this film could make me aware of something more than just the case of "Jessica Lal".
As the film begun, I was all geared up for the interesting journey of "Jessica Lal", to encounter the reality through the director's eye!
I think u guys must be feeling that this write up is a review of the film. Dont worry pals, I am not here to give u any reviews about the work, technicalities, creativity, the screenplay, edit, etc. etc. I am sure u must have had enuf of those by now! What I am about to share here with u guys is beyond the cinematic review, something what I realized at the hindsight!
Now continuing with my story of watching this wonderful representation of realistic & meaningful cinema... the experience was surely mesmerizing & being a FACEBOOK addict (juz like many of u reading this) I wanted to post an update about this the moment I stepped out of the theater. So many thoughts, so many feelings I wanted to put into words that I couldn't resist myself from writing an entire post on this!
Its astonishing how, while watching the film, I got so carried away with the entire realistic feel & look of the movie that I actually could relate to & empathize with each emotion the deceased protagonist & the super girl of the movie conveyed. And when I stepped out of the theater, I had learnt more than what I had expected, more than jus the technicalities, more than just the creativity, I had learnt that how powerful & loud is the voice of Silence! How a single ray of hope finds its own way out to the dawn from the deepest & darkest tunnels of failure & dissatisfaction!
Most of us feel & believe that words are the strongest mode to express our emotions, but there is something which is more powerful than words, more louder than the voice of words, creates more impact than the harshness of words, that doesn't need to be heard but needs to be felt..the voice of SILENCE ! The character of "Sabrina" which Vidya Balan portrays, clearly displays that it takes courage to be silent..it takes courage to win through silence..it takes courage to be patient enough to let the power of silence pervade in the most loudest place. Its easy to give up silence & be harsh with words, but whats difficult & worthy of applause is to have the courage & strength to be silent! Most of us face this difficulty of holding on to silence in our routine lives & often give up, coz we lack patience & we hate to wait.... Many believe that being silent is a sign of being fragile but the truth is that one needs to understand the power & depth of silence to know the power of Silence & being Silent is actually a sign of courage!
We need to understand that Hope is the only power that keeps us going even through the toughest & most rudest & meanest times. Hope is the be-all & end-all for any being, the one who never leaves hope, is the one who sails through & comes out a winner. I know its somewhere quite easy to write all this & give the so called GYAAN about it, but when it comes to implementing it, its way too difficult at certain stages of life. Sometimes the wait becomes too long & we loose on our patience, but try to bounce back with a new hope that there will be an end to this wait, this prolongation... its just a test of our hope, patience & silence & we all want to be a winner. So never give in & defeat the failure with Hope, Patience & Strength of Silence. The first ray of sunlight comes exactly after the moment when its the darkest at nite ! So guys its all about Perseverance... Just be rigid & adamant, of course, at good things, to win any situation.
A very nice thought has come to my mind inspired from this season of the year, I read about this one few days back in the Speaking Tree.. "A snowflake is one of God's most fragile creation, but look what they can do when they are stick together!"
We always underestimate the power of the weak & fragile & take it for granted that the weak is the looser! But this actually isn't the case..there's immense power beneath the rug, jus dig in it a lil hard & u will encounter the POWER deep within !
There's a Jessica, Sabrina & Meera in each one of us... we just need to meet her!
Take Care.. Keeep Smiling :)
