The Shoojit Sircar-produced film was the hot topic of discussion because of its intriguing and eye-opening content. It projected that what women mean, do or are supposed to act on – none of these gives rights to men to overpower them against their will. In short – “NO MEANS (clear) NO”.

PINK and its message: Courtroom drama to ground realities

Pink indeed brings out the reality women face and as a society how we keep on avoiding their freedom of choices.
