Pink

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! ;)

When I read the reviews I thought this movie would be interesting like a typical whodunit- crosses-courtroom drama. When the credits rolled I walked away impressed.

Pink is a tour de force. It's a simmering mixture of morality, drama, mystery and debate whose intensity never slips. I can't recall one Bollywood movie in recent memory which has such taut seriousness that never flags. Pink has no light moments. And it is utterly brilliant.

Part of its brilliance lie in Pink's on-the-money portrayal of biases and confusion surrounding independent, headstrong women in modern Indian society. Shoojit Sarkar brings to light darker biases that most modern Indians - men and women - carry but won't admit to.

The narrative is his secret sauce in ensuring that none of the morality or gravitas ever slip into preachy frivolosity. It's an impactful movie on a serious issue that deserves praise for not trivializing the issues it tackles.

Amitabh Bacchhan is brilliant as always and so are the girls and all supporting actors in the way they bring believability and emotion to their non stereotypical roles.

A great watch - you'd definitely not end disappointed.

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.

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.

Shoojit and Aniruddha has delivered powerful punch on feudal mindset with engaging court room drama.Frame by frame excellence will bound you with your seat. Even you will not realize when movie reached to interval.Big B has refined himself as USP of movie. Taapsee has delivered stunning performance with fearsome dialogue delivery. Piyush Mishra was another performer. Kirti Kulhari,Andrea Tariang and Angad Bedi were good in supporting role. Script and dialogue were terrific and value addition to movie. Music is only section which need improvement. Although Kaari Kaari was delight to listen. Please stay in theater till the end credits for complete story. Let's paint it PINK. She said 'No' and 'No' means 'No'... based on this simple one word, director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury raised some very relevant questions to our so called society through his exclusive film #PINK#. A gripping story, tight screenplay, sharp direction, excellent background score, perfect cinematography & brilliantly executed Court room Trials enriched PINK and make it more vibrant. The performances are pitch-perfect with Mr. Bachchan leading the way. He is Outstanding once again. Tapasee & Kirti Kulhari delivered power- packed performances. Angan Bedi is another one to watch out for those cold & brutal eyes. Gutsy congratulations to Soojit Sircar for making a contemporary youth-centric film with a strong socially relevant message. A Film That Everyone Needs to Watch. Make time for it.
