    I really liked this movie... It might not be the most original thing out, but there were some really clever lines in there. Like what Alim's mom says to Giles when he thinks the eggs are for everyone. Yeah, it might have been a little corny, but I thought the acting was great (with the exception of Alim's Aunt) and the dialogue was way better than most popular films.

    Simply beautiful! and a very different point of view. i have never seen a movie similar to "touch of pink", because this was the first motion picture that has not based the comdey of it on 'alim' and 'giles' (the homosexual part of the movie), and i see it in no way similar to "will and grace". "touch of pink" is one of those pictures that i can see over and over again and enjoy every bit of it. … Expand

    I really enjoyed, loved this movie! It let us know the feeling from deep inside of every human being, the need to love and be free inside ourselves.

    It is an enjoyable movie with some flaws. It is interesting that many critics have said that the characters are wooden, and stereotypical. I find that the characters are more formal and have a tendency to leave things unsaid. I felt that it the characters were consistent with Pakistani people that I know.

    A beautiful film - requires the audience to be engaged, and this results in an emotional rollercoaster of laughter, and heartwarming tenderness. A MUST-SEE!

    Rashid's love of cinema is obvious in every frame. He interweaves nostalgia with modern subject matter. Pace and comic timing are perfect.

    What makes the film so much fun is an ingenious plot device embedded in Rashid's sharply observed screenplay.

    Presumably writer-director Ian Iqbal Rashid chose Grant because Bogie's been done, but that didn't stop him from lifting Touch of Pink's plot wholesale from "The Wedding Banquet."
