PINK MOVIE: A work of sheer brilliance

PINK MOVIE: A work of sheer brilliance

Pink - the colour of tenderness, love, all things girly. If not for Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury's latest directorial venture, one would never believe PINK' could also refer to the gutsy woman who rests within; the one who hasn't learnt to give up. You now know what are we talking about.

Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Kirti Kulhari, Andrea Tariang and Angad Bedi, Pink' reflects the ugly colours of sexual violence and moral policing against women in its own hard-hitting manner. The film revolves around Meenal (Taapsee Pannu), Falak (Kirti Kulhari) and Andrea (Andrea Tariang), three independent working women who share a flat in Delhi. Rajveer Singh, the spoilt nephew of a politician, along with his friends seeks some enjoyment' in the three girls and ends up wounded as Meenal hits him in a course of self-defence. Dejected, Rajveer picks Meenal and molests her in a group. However, the police refuses to register a complaint. Exhausted with all the s**t-shaming, the women are on a verge to give up. That is when appears Amitabh Bachchan, a mysterious neighbour; a former lawyer who again puts on the black coat to fight for the girls. What follows is a series of draining and merciless court room proceedings. Will justice ever prevail? The journey till the end is brutally honest, and an eye opener for all of us.
