Pink

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.

Nowadays I see there has become a trend in Bollywood, that every other film is either trying to raise awareness over something, has a disabled protagonist or trying to portray the life of poor people. I like to call such "content driven filmmakers" as "gareeb" directors. If you have seen that "Main gareeb hoon!" video, you have a good idea of what I mean. Imagine that kid saying he is poor, and that is the whole script. They are trying to "relate to the audience and change their mindset" with these kinds of films. Earlier there were just Black and Paa, so I had no problem with it. But now Pink has even been declared the best Amitabh Bachchan film. Now I do like this film, but it's nowhere even close to being his best.

Pink is a story about three girls who were out with three boys, out of whom one was related to a politician. They were about to have sex, but then they refused. But the boys were no longer listening, and so they molested them. They filed a case against them, in which on a simple glance it seemed like they had filed a fake case on them, but then from their perspective it's a question of their life, as one of them gets raped by the boys in an SUV. Meanwhile a lawyer has been seeing them all the time who didn't really like them (and neither they liked him), but when he saw their condition he decided to defend them in the courtroom. The message that the film wanted to give was that the character of a person should not be the thing to decide what a person's dignity is. It doesn't matter whether the woman is your friend, girlfriend or even your wife, if she does not consent then you shouldn't force yourself on her.

The acting of all the characters was great, especially Amitabh Bachchan. This is his coolest look of all time in my opinion. The story was also made very nicely. There were no songs, so that's also a big plus. Also there was no unnecessary filler other than when the relations of the characters had to be fleshed out. However, there were two things about this film that I didn't like. Firstly the molestation scene that was shown in the credits. It was done with like, a 5 FPS camera. I don't know if it was supposed to add some "impact", because it really failed to do that. Also imagine sitting and watching a film with your family and they really like it, but then the credits roll and now the family is watching a rape scene together. Quality time, maybe? And secondly there was the cinematography. The lighting, the camera angles, the shadows were all wrong. This is something I don't like about Shoojit Sarcar. While trying to make scenes realistic he makes them ugly.

Pink is one of those films that give you an important message, unless you're a literate person in which case you already know the message. I'd put it in the same category as Fan - if you had made this film ten years ago, probably it would have been relevant. But now those who would watch this film already believe in the message and those who don't believe in the message won't want to watch such an educated film. But then again, it's free on Hotstar so what goes in seeing it? I mean it's Amitabh Bachchan for skin's sake! Do watch it if you want to see the coolest version of him.

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! ;)

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.

Just seen PINK the movie and I would like admit that nothing has moved me so much as this movie did. Superb Acting by Tapsee Pannu She is probably the best we got in bollywood, Amitabh Bacchan did a very intense and powerful character and uplifted the role in his own charisma, His acting skills shows the reason why he is the biggest bollywood star ever. Director precisely enlights the deep rooted problems and harassments faced by women specially in metros and the immaturity of the society who blindly judge a woman's character by the way she dresses, talk or work. We badly needs these kind of movies to awake the generic thoughts of people who thinks that they can Objectify women and Misuse the power against them. I recommend all of you to watch this great movie. It's a Thought Provoking and a giant leap in movies what we usually watch in bollywood.
