About Films

Satya Prakash's POV

The film “PINK” underlines, “Bollywood is changing.”

The film “PINK” has gripped me till its moving end-credit roll with a powerful poetry in the voice of Amitabh Bachchan. I shivered, trembled and my tears jumped out with a voice. A touching hand of one of the spectators had sensed me back. I wiped my tear.

Film “Pink” creates a catastrophic turmoil in me and makes me feel ashamed of being man who are so disgraced, prejudiced, feudal, egoist, reluctant, bigot, arrogant and male-centric that existence of being woman gets misplaced and degraded in society. The man is growing from infant to young without hindrance with full freedom whereas the girls are grown with care of negation.

Film “PINK” by its name implies that woman is so rosy that she has been made to please the lust of man.The progressing India has given a little space to the woman to modernize in comparison to man. In Metro cities,the educated middle class girls interact with boys and they go far with their mutual consent but boys make their dirtiest opinion for girls. Those very girls are misunderstood by the boys for ever.This very film beats such an evil dust of the feudal-infested-man and a retired old lawyer who is distress and distraught of his ailing wife, kindles the hopes in the eyes of three victimized girls who are sexually harassed, molested in the car,racially tortured by the boys who belong to powerful feudal sort of politician.

The court-drama makes audience stunned. After the court, pathos, mental agony and suffering of girls bizarrely produce a horrific ambience not on the celluloid but on the mind of audiences in the hall. Pin-drop-silence pierce each spectator sitting in the theatre with gripped breathing. The reluctant -feudals go berserk to see the picture of her sister, drinking liquor in a party and he patronizes the woman of his high-blooded-family.

The last judgement session of court listens seriously to the experienced lawyer who adds, saying,” No means always no…No does not have any description except no. Either in certain stipulated time, consented girls deny or the prostitutes deny. No means always no.

The film has wonderful locations of country’s capital, “New Delhi” that has modern and educated women only but men are less in the number who understand these sensitive girls. The lawyers and the owner of the house can be counted in such less populated civilized gentry of capital of country, that throws frequent heart-wrenching incidents against woman to the people of country.

The Big B , Taapsee Punnu,Kirti Kulhari.Andrea Tariang,Angad Bedi,Piyush Mishra,Mamta Shanker and Vinod Nagpal and others have put their hearts into their characters. Amitabh Bachchan( Big B) has scintillated his character.

The Back ground score churns the audiences.Music by Shantanu Moitra,Anupam Roy and Faiza Mujahid relate to the prevailing situations of the film.

Producers Sujit Sarcar and Rashmi Sharmi have dared to make such an parallel cinema amidst of flood of commercial Cinema, is a welcoming step.

I can underline that Bollywood is changing.
