On Monday, filmmaker and social activist Ashoke Pandit hailed the Aniruddha Roy Chowdhurydirected film as a "movement" and tweeted:
No film has been able 2 do what @TheFilmPink has done for women in India. It needs to be #TaxFree. @ShoojitSircar @aniruddhatony @SrBachchan

You realize d greatness of an actor whn he lends himself 2 a story that's risky, but needs to be told! Thank u @SrBachchan for @TheFilmPink

The gritty courtroom drama subtly, but effectively, highlights the importance of understanding the choices women make and about respecting those choices.
The film features Big B as a lawyer, who fights a case of sexual assault involving three women against a man, who belongs to an influential family. A strong message that the film gives out is that no matter how a woman dresses, what she does or what she thinks, when she says no to sexual advances, it is a definite no.
Apart from Mr Bachchan, the film also features Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Andrea Tariang, Angad Bedi, Piyush Mishra and Dhritiman Chatterjee in key roles. The film is produced by Shoojit Sircar.
