For once, the rave reviews are justified.It is one of those rare instances when close to no promotion pays off for a film, and a socially relevant one at that.'Pink', directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury is a slap in the face.How else do I describe the hard-hitting dialogues, the sheer bold attempt at honesty? The movie has been framed as "a courtroom drama" where three women fight for justice, the victim becomes the accused and not for the first time, society's views on women are dissected. The "girl safety manual" is ingeniously and impeccably explored. Amitabh Bachchan is undoubtedly the glorious driving force of this traumatic tale. Every single person out there, irrespective of gender, must make time to watch 'Pink', especially since we live in times of 'women empowerment' ,which has obtusely led to an appalling increase in heinous crimes and has twisted the concept of feminism, maybe even to the point that it cannot be salvaged. Watch it for Amitabh Bachchan, Shoojit Sircar and the commendable performances by the lead actors.Above all, spare a few hours if you care for the women in your life.Unless you are a staunch patriarch or prude, you cannot help but applaud their efforts throughout the running time of 2 hour 16 minutes.Do not miss it.
