Megastar Amitabh Bachchan starrer "Pink" -- which raked up discussions on crimes against women -- has won the Best Film on Social Issues at 64th National Film Awards, it was announced here on Friday.
 
Directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, the courtroom drama is a contemporary youth-centric film with a strong socially relevant message about the choices young women of today make and about respecting those. Its prime message was "no means no".
 
With a cast including Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Angad Bedi, Andrea Tariang, Piyush Mishra, and Dhritiman Chatterjee -- the movie was lauded for its impactful performances and strong message.
 
It tells a story about a girl named Minal, who after being molested, along with her friends, tries to file an FIR against a politician's nephew. When the subsequent case gets rigged, Deepak, a retired lawyer, helps them to fight the case.
 
The powerful dialogues and strong screenplay were appreciated by the audience and the critics alike.
