Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Pink’, which released earlier this year, was appreciated so much that it almost led to a movement on social media where the audiences appreciated the portrayal of the menace of sexual harassment and other crimes against women.

There were also reports of the film being used as a platform to promote the Zero FIR law and also to sensitise police forces towards women. It is set to accomplish another important achievement. Bachchan, who played a lawyer in the venture, took to Twitter to share that the film was invited for a special screening at the United Nations headquarters.
