Pink is a very important film, and not only because it addresses gender issues with such caustic elan, biting away at patriarchal prejudices with such skill and efficiency that we don't even realize how much of the indictment the narrative presents against patriarchal bullying.
It all comes out in a tumble in a rousing courtroom finale where the aging but still sharp lawyer Deepak Sehgal (Amitabh Bachchan) with a dying wife (Mamata Shankar) in the hospital, provokes the spoilt rich politician's scion (Angad Bedi, sufficiently credible) to say why it is okay to force yourself on a certain type of "loose" women even if they say no to your advances. But then here's where the narrative plays out a greatest lesson without glee or glory: when a woman says no to sex, it is a no.
Bachchan who holds the key to this remarkable film's incontestable power and efficacy. He is the voice of reason and the conscience of a morality tale where right and wrong are not easily identifiable. Yet when he sets forth reasons as to why a no from a woman means no, we are looking not at a rousing courtroom performance but a voice that ricochets through generations of patriarchal smugness.
Don't miss this film, and don't walk out during the end-titles or you will miss out on two vital experience. Of knowing what really happened "that night" and of hearing the Bachchan baritone recite Tanveer Qausi's powerful poetry on feminine awakening.

A must watch film for every cricketer and every cricket fan and every die hard MS Dhoni fan can boldly , proudly celebrate the untold story and the hard work of MS Dhoni made me more emotional and Sushant Singh deserves a National award this year he completely stolen the show his screen presence and body language made film more enlighten. Really great massive super duper hit blockbuster movie !! Hats Off Neeraj sir, Sushanth and our very own lovely MS Dhoni sir you are legend
1st half : Interesting Screenplay, Very Good { Introduced as Football Goal Keeper in school turned out as batsmen and district player in the 1st half along with his schooling and RRB job}
2nd half : Goose Bumps Guaranteed, Massive Hit {urns out into full time cricketer with love sequences, Captain Cool arises with Helicopter shots and Ups and Downs in team shows the real MS Dhoni characterization, Sushant Nailed it really }

Some things don't change; the MSG franchise is one of them. It takes guts to roll out such preachy and glorified films, but the saga continues with a devil-may-care attitude. Flower-print sneakers, a glittery T-shirt paired with a hoodie, a sword that turns into a pen and a spear that turns into sunglasses - that's rock-star Guruji for you. He does gravity-defying stunts, wearing cardboard Armour, that might make Isaac Newton turn in his grave and Rajinikanth insecure. Self-obsession is written all over the movie and Saint Dr MSG (yes, that's the name) strides in his bling-avatar with head held high, to win conquests and hearts (apparently); modesty and simplicity be damned.
This time around, Saint Dr MSG veers away from playing the spiritual guru and turns into the warrior Lion Heart aka Sher Dil who is invincible and immortal. The modern world is in danger from an alien invasion and Lion Heart is brought in to lead a counter-attack. But that's just an excuse to go into flashback and witness the glorified tale of Sher Dil, who had defeated the same aliens, 100 years ago. And mind you, these aliens are not the regular ones you might have seen in Hollywood flicks. They are humans who seem to have borrowed Amitabh Bachchan's light-bulb costume from the song Saara zamana.
There is a scene in the film when people go mad after a UFO sighting; that pretty much sums up the average viewer's experience, but fans of Saint Dr MSG are sure to shower heaps of praises on this film; the claps, cheers and whistles in the cinema halls stand testimony to that.
With plot twists that put daily soaps to shame, the film takes you on a tacky fantasy ride that ends abruptly. Why? Well, how else would there be MSG – The Warrior: Lion Heart 2?
