Pink

No review content available.

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.

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

Those who rated high are the viewers and those who rated low are the critics. The difference between the two is that a viewer watches the movie whereas a critic inspects it. Just because a movie gives you a strong social message doesn't make the movie great. The problem with most Indian viewers is that they do not go much into technicality. They get simply emotional or biased by the movie and end up rating it very high. This movie is a simple courtroom drama with no extraordinary story line and above that overacting spoiled the verisimilitude. "Jolly LLB" is undoubtedly best Indian movie of this genre.
