Pink

The best thing about this movie is that it is too real. It doesn't matter if you are a conservative or a liberal or a feminist, if you are human, you will like this. The social issues raised by this movie is on point and at the same time it is an entertaining watch. Movies like this shows the strength of Indian cinema to produce amazing films despite the extreme commercialization.

Aniruddha roy chaudhary as the director have done a stupendous job. The first half of the movie has barely any dialogues and still the story is conveyed in a astounding and suspenseful way. The second half mainly focus on courtroom and I have not seen such intense court battle in a long time.

Amitabh's acting is fantastic. Piyush Mishra is marvelous as always. The acting by the three girls is real and believable.

Writing and dialogues by talented Ritesh Shah is one of the best I have seen.

"Pink" is intense, entertaining and honest. The issues raised by it really needs to be thought upon. It is a must watch for everyone.

Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's 'Pink' is a gripping Courtroom-Drama, that's Bold & Brave. It tackles the sensitive & thought-provoking issue of gender-equality & the difference between one's approval & one's disapproval. The message of this well-made film, is, without doubt, even stronger than the film itself.

'Pink' Synopsis: After a rock-concert, Three independent women (Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari & Andrea Tariang) are harassed by three men. Soon after, the women are targeted, arrested & subjected for something they never did. Things take a turn when an aged lawyer (Amitabh Bachchan) decides to defend the 3 women in court.

'Pink' is about fighting for whats right & how A "NO" is clearly A "NO". India is a country that's been dealing with the horrors against women, as this society, by and large, is chauvinistic & men-driven. 'Pink' is about gender-equality & how its not remotely fine, to harass any girl, just because she decided to hang out with you after a few drinks. Its about keeping that enormous "I'm a man, I can do anything" bull-crap away & dealing with a situation with a sense of reality & chivalry. 'Pink' is a dramatic look at three brave women, who with the help a righteous lawyer, storm against the men who wronged them & are not held responsible for doing something so wrong & repulsive.

'Pink' works, because the narrative is straight to the point. And mind you, the incident, that the film is based upon, isn't shown to us till the end credits roll. And yet, 'Pink' holds you. The first-hour builds, as the proceedings get darker & more on-your-face, but its the second-hour, when the drama shifts to the courtroom, is when things are pulled out & argued upon. Although the second-hour does drag for a bit, the drama never shifts to anything else & stays to the point, at all times.

Ritesh Shah's Screenplay is well-done. Shah tackles a really thought-provoking, relevant topic & presents it, as it should be. A special mention for the sharply Written Monologue towards the film's concluding moments, where Amitabh powerfully says "A NO is A NO". Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's Direction is excellent. He's handled this dramatic film, with precision. And its a joy to know that the prolific Shoojit Sircar, has produced this film! Cinematography & Editing are super. Art & Costume Design are perfect. Music by Various Artists, is in sync with the film's mood.

Performance-Wise: Amitabh Bachchan shines, in a role, that's undoubtedly the strongest here. His delivery in the final monologue, particularly, is note-worthy. But its The Ladies who steal 'Pink'. Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari & Andrea Tariang are exceptional. Taapsee is excellent as the women who protected herself & keeps the fire alive to fight back. Also, she looks gorgeous. Kirti is a revelation. She's terrific & her angry breakdown in the courtroom, is heart-wrenching. Andrea gets a smaller role & even lesser lines to speak comparatively, but is simply flawless as a woman, who refuses to be a victim. Of the supporting cast, Piyush Mishra hams it up as the lawyer defending the baddies, while Dhritiman Chatterjee is first-rate as the Judge. Angad Bedi is okay, but Vijay Verma crawls your skin & is absolutely unforgettable as the chauvinist, remorseless young-blood. Mamta Shankar, As Amitabh's wife, is decent in a cameo. Rest lend very good support.

On the whole, 'Pink' is a well-made film, with a strong message. Do Watch.

Yes, its finally here.The movie i was waiting for so long. first of all,i will like to finally say this thing that after a long leap of time i felt goosebumps watching a Bollywood film.Last time was for "Titli". And it was an Honour to see Mr.Bachchan in such a terrific role. every one was just phenomenal. Piyush Mishra did a good job as well. and those three girls Of course,what a great privilege for them to share screen with the Shehanshah himself.:) The movie will be having a good grip on you through out the Runtime The movie is not "Damini" of modern age. This is a tight slap on all those so called "Sanskari uncles and aunties" that judge girls by what they wear. Every person not just a male,but this is was for every gender. It asks just a single question to the society i.e "WHY" why don't you just let girls do whatever they want to do. At least let them smile or laugh for god sake. please don't just wait for someone to point out some faults in your daughter,sister or mother. If you can worship "female gods" then for god sake just respect the ones you have in your society.

More than half of the seats empty in the theater at an afternoon show of "Pink" gives us the message whats exactly wrong with Bollywood. Replacing the movie with Dabangg or other such worthless crap, shows would be house-full. Pink is a masterpiece and lives up to it's expectations. Powerful and world-class performances given by Amitabh Bachchan sir (once again) and Piyush Mishra makes this movie a gem. This is one of the career best performance by Big B. He runs the whole show. Tapsee's acting could have been so much better; but still, it was a job well done.

The movie deals with what we read daily in our newspapers. MOLESTATION. This movie depicts the corrupt system and shows it in a brutally honest way (personal experience).

I'd say go for this movie, you'll surely love it. Fans of Amitabh will get =a bombastic surprise! ;)

Pink is not a film and this is not a review..

A dialogue from Rang De Basanti – "Koi Bi desh perfect nevi ho ta hai..use perfect banana parta hai" – and for that one needs to change the various aspects of societal mindset. #Pink is not just a film but a statement against this prejudiced, hypocritical feudal societal fabric that can't handle modern-thinking women.

Two major point raised without being didactic:- 1.Stop being judgmental. A modern working woman who wears short (I would say more comfortable in this humid climate) clothes or one who parties & drinks or one who is friendly doesn't mean SHE IS AVAILABLE. SO STOP LABELING HER..

2.Most vital point – NO MEANS NO..She can be your friend, GF, sex-worker, even your wife : NO means No. I am sure even most educated men won't get this point but I hope they does..

Honestly Shoojit Sircar (who is synonymous with quality films Vicky Donor Madras Cafe Piku) & debutante Dir Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury should be applauded for The Film Pink as it has the power to change mindset. Hope Pink is watched at a large scale, start a debate and inspire young adults. Going by the reactions all over I guess the movement has just began, that is Power of Great Cinema.

Kudos to Amitabh Bachchan to be part of such a topical film demanding respect.His acting and choice of films are getting better and better with old-age..This issue was necessary to be told and his name would increase the audience base. Tapsee Pannu and Kirti Kulhari are a revelation. Their pain reflects the voice of majority of Indian women who have to face ordeals even in the busiest of streets in our country. Angad Bedi is so authentic that you will hate him. Debutante Andrea Tariang is effortless. And can Piyush Mishra & Dhritiman Chatterjee go wrong in any role? Pink is indeed a taut social thriller which needs your attention.It is taut and gritty and it establishes its plot-points effectively keeping the tension intact. And while doing so it makes evident points against the society. The court-room sequences in the 2nd half is tremendously superb. As a cinema it is Talvar of 2016 albeit with a straight plot-line.

Btw, Do watch the end credit..
