“In a case, where a girl doesn’t back down, it feels like a personal success for me.”
One of the aspects that “Pink” touches upon is consent and how it’s not even in the picture when it’s about a woman.
Shoojit, who has creative produced the Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury-directed film, said through “Pink”, he sought to convey a semblance of the perpetual sense of insecurity that women live with.
Speaking about the importance of consent, Shoojit and Taapsee argued when a woman categorically says no, it is important to respect it and the notion of consent is not negotiable.
While “Pink” is intense, Shoojit’s own directorial venture, “Vicky Donor”, was a light-hearted film also set in Delhi.
Speaking about both the movies, the filmmaker said, “‘Vicky Donor’ deals with light moments all seemingly in the friendly neighbourhood of Lajpat Nagar but let’s not deny the reality of Delhi-a woman walking on the streets after eight pm will inevitably face some harassment,” he said.
