Amitabh Bachchan's 'Pink', that hit theatres last Friday, created quite an impact on moviegoers and the ripples are still being felt to this day. The courtroom drama brought to light various social evils faced by women, but most importantly, the power of consent and a woman's right to dress the way she likes without having her character questioned by society.
While many walked away from theatres with the intentions to 'paint the country pink', here's a three-minute monologue that played out during the film's end credits. The powerful poem narrated by Amitabh Bachchan encourages women to stand up for themselves and assert their personality without having to fear judgment. Big B's baritone voice sets the tone to inspire confidence among women and inspire them to grow. It also encourages women to use the chains that held her back as an ornament, and also to break away from old and orthodox decisions traditions.

Read the poem below:
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hatash hai
Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai
Samay ko bhi talash hai
Jo tuzsay lipti bediya samaz na inko vastr tu
Jo tuzsay tipti bediya samaz na inko vastr tu
Yeh bediya beghal ke banale inko shastr tu, banale inko shastr tu
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hatash hai
Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai
Samay ko bhi talash hai
Charitra jab pavitra hai toh kyno hai dasha yeh teri
Charitra jab pavitra hai toh kyno hai dasha yeh teri

Yeh papiyon o haq nahi ke le ke pariksha teri
Ke le ke pariksha teri
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hatash hai
Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai
Samay ko bhi talash hai
Jala ke bhasm kar use jo krurtaka jaal hai
Jala ke bhasm kar use jo krurtaka jaal hai
Tu aarati ki lou nahi
Tu krod ki mashal hai
Tu krod ki mashal hai
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hatash hai
Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai
Samay ko bhi talash hai
Chunar uda ke dhwaj bana
Gagan bhi kapkapayega
Chunar uda ke dhwaj bana
Gagan bhi kapkapayega
Gar teri chunar giri toh ek bhookamp aayega
Ek bhookamp aayega
Tu khud ki khoj mein nikal
Tu kis liye hatash hai
Tu chal tere wajood ki samay ko bhi talash hai
Samay ko bhi talash hai
