- Review: Pink, a film that must be championed. ‘This is a solid, terse film that makes its points in mainstream fashion with an appropriate lack of subtlety.’-Rediff.com
- Review: The film starring Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu sledgehammers the message that when a woman says no, she means no. It underlines a woman’s freedom to her own sexuality- Indian Express
- Review: Pink is a powerful statement on the existing feudal mindset of a majority of India, where men and women are judged by a different yardstick. And if the man happens to be from a powerful family, then the fight for justice is even more skewed. Times of India [ Rating- 4.5/5]
- A tale of true grit, grippingly told- Anupama Chopra
- Taran Adarsh believes that the movie’s collections will escalate due to strong word of mouth…
