The film, which starred Amitabh Bachchan as well, was based on a girl named Minal (Tapsee Pannu), who, after being molested, tries to file an FIR against a politician’s nephew. When the subsequent case gets rigged, Deepak (Amitabh Bachchan), a retired lawyer, helps her to fight and win the case against the rich and powerful defendants.
Directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, Pink was well received by the audience and critics alike. It also received the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues.
On the work front, Tapsee is currently shooting for Sujoy Ghosh’s ‘Badla’, which also stars her Pink co-star Amitabh Bachchan.
