Pink (2016)
Outstanding
It correctly deals with the present mentality of our generation.
Three young working women, Minal (Tapasee Pannu), Falak (Kirti Kulhari) and Andrea (Andrea Tairang) are flatmates in Delhi and good friends. An untoward incident one night at a resort in Surajkund, involving some boys, among whom is Rajveer (Angad Bedi), who comes from a politically well-connected family, proves to be life changing for the trio.
What follows is an intriguing courtroom drama where ace lawyer Deepak Sehgall represents them in a bid to get them justice.
Replete with contemporary instances and issues, centering around women and their safety, the film, through its potent dialogues, takes a dig at society and its stereotypical norms and prejudices towards women, as in "The Rule Book of the Girls' Safety Manual", enumerated by lawyer Deepak Sehgall.
Director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury extracts natural performances from all his actors, and makes a meaningful film devoid of any unnecessary commercial trappings, never once deviating from the core theme.
Amitabh Bachchan as Deepak Sehgall, the aged defense lawyer, shines as always, in a restrained, but powerful performance. His histrionics come primarily in the form of his well-modulated baritone, conveying his emotions and of course, from the well-written lines.
RIGHTLY SAID BY AMIT JI..WE Should SAVE OUR BOYS NOT OUR GIRLS
