[4] Pink features an ensemble cast, which includes Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Andrea Tariang, Angad Bedi, Tushar Pandey, Piyush Mishra, and Dhritiman Chatterjee.
[8] Pink received 5 nominations at the 62nd Filmfare Awards, including Best Film, Best Actor (Bachchan) and Best Supporting Actress (Kulhari), and won Best Dialogue (Ritesh Shah).
[9] Minal, Falak and Andrea are introduced to Rajveer and Raunak by their mutual friend Vishwajyoti on a night out, and they have some drinks together.
The threats include a sexually explicit troll post on social media, resulting in Falak losing her job as it would impact the image of her company.
In reality, the local police are aware that the men are "well-connected" and backed by Rajveer's uncle Ranjit, an influential politician.
Minal is threatened, blackmailed, and molested by the trio in a moving car and dropped back home in the evening, leaving her traumatized.
A few days later, she is arrested based on a complaint from Rajveer labeling the women as prostitutes and charging Minal with attempted murder.
At this point, Deepak becomes frustrated with the events and, after receiving advice from him, Andrea and Falak discover that he is actually a reputable and retired lawyer.
Toward the end of the trial, Rajveer becomes enraged during questioning and, provoked by Deepak, reveals the truth, calling the women derogatory names and stating that they "got what they deserved" after agreeing to have dinner and drinks with strangers on a night out.
Deepak criticises the regressive views of society, where women are stereotyped as characterless if they come home late, move out, want to be independent, drink alcohol, and so on, but none of these constraints apply to men, and they are only treated as victims after they've been assaulted and killed.
The women are acquitted while Rajveer, Ankit, and Raunak are arrested and charged, with a new court date set to determine their prison sentences.
[11] Director-producer Shoojit Sircar informed that Amitabh Bachchan accepted the role and Taapsee Pannu was their first choice.
[30] The world television premier was held on 23 – October 2016 on Star Gold and to commemorate the same, Amitabh Bachchan's house Jalsa, Carter Road Promenade and SNDT Women's University were illuminated in pink colour.
[31] The title of the film has no relationship as being the favourite colour of girls but rather conveys that women should have the freedom to speak and walk freely at night.
[35][36] Meena Iye of The Times of India and Shubha Shetty Saha of Indiatimes gave the film 4.5 stars.
It grips you still with a gently piercing background score, moments of silence and dialogue, building up the tension, while the audience wonders what really could have happened one unfortunate night when three girls found themselves in a Surajkund resort with three guys.
[39] Filmfare, India Today, Mumbai Mirror, Hindustan Times, The Statesman, and DNA have given 4/5 stars, highly appreciating the superlative performances, especially of Amitabh Bachchan.
