Pink is a 2016 Indian courtroom drama film directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, written by Ritesh Shah, and produced by Rashmi Sharma Telefilms (Pawan Kumar and Rashmi Sharma), Sheel Kumar and Shoojit Sircar.
It stars Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Angad Bedi, Andrea Tariang, Piyush Mishra, and Dhritiman Chatterjee. It was released on 16 September 2016. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted the film a U/A certificate with four verbal cuts. The film was appreciated by both the audience and the critics.
The film was specially screened for the Rajasthan Police so as to train them to be sensitive and sensible about women's rights and dignity. The film was also invited for a special screening at the United Nations headquarters in New York City.
On 4 November 2016 the movie completed a successful 50 day run at the movie theatres.
The movie opens with Raunak Anand a.k.a. Dumpy (Raashul Tandon) and Ankit Malhotra (Vijay Verma) rushing their friend, Rajveer Singh (Angad Bedi) who is profusely bleeding from an injury to his forehead, to a hospital in south Delhi. He nearly loses his eye but is treated. They nervously refrain from filing a police complaint. Elsewhere three young women — Meenal Arora (Taapsee Pannu), Falak Ali (Kirti Kulhari) and Andrea Tariang (Andrea Tariang) — travel nervously in a taxi and reach their apartment. They look disoriented, and it is implied that they have something to do with the incident.
