Chopra and Akhtar have great chemistry, and though the nonlinear storytelling is somewhat unnecessary, Bose deftly manages the challenging tonal shifts within this lengthy film that never drags. Read full review

The fantasy of The Sky Is Pink is that Aisha’s death allows her to see her mother with adoring omniscience, and the film is never more pleasing than when it revels in the glamorous melodrama of a superstar performing motherhood. Read full review

While the film’s first half boasts universally strong performances (even babyAisha gets some screen time), it’s Chopra Jonas who emerges as the film’s driving force. Read full review

For those who like head-on, immersive emotional experiences at the movies, The Sky Is Pink may be a direct hit. Read full review

The Guardian Cath Clarke

Oct 10, 2019

The ending is unforgivably mawkish, though, and the running time of two-and-a-quarter hours is simply too long. Read full review

The emotions we witness and feel should have more force given the obviously stressful circumstances depicted. But they feel like all the edges have been sawed off to flatter both the subjects and principal actors. Read full review

This film fulfills what it promises in the trailer and in what way, it is an emotional roller coaster, you laugh, you cry and again until the end, the non-linear narration gives a different touch accompanied by the narrator, Aisha herself who with her personality puts that differentialThis film fulfills what it promises in the trailer and in what way, it is an emotional roller coaster, you laugh, you cry and again until the end, the non-linear narration gives a different touch accompanied by the narrator, Aisha herself who with her personality puts that differential point between any other film of this genre (family drama) the performances of Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Farhan Akhtar as parents going through the difficult situation of their daughter are brilliant and the chemistry on screen is a refreshing pleasure, very natural and fluid.
On the other hand, the performance of the young Rohit Saraf and Zaira Wasim perfectly complement the family. Congratulations to the director Shonali Bose, this is a universal film that touches all the fibers and I think that is the point of make movies, this is definitely a story that has to be seen, that has to be felt.… Expand

If you can manage to bear the unabashed oversmart and touchy first-person narration by the overzealous central character (or villain as the character likes to call herself) and the cringeworthy sequences that form as a result, you will be able to complete watching The Sky is Pink, a filmIf you can manage to bear the unabashed oversmart and touchy first-person narration by the overzealous central character (or villain as the character likes to call herself) and the cringeworthy sequences that form as a result, you will be able to complete watching The Sky is Pink, a film that tries to be so doe-eyed and gooey it's hard to not shake your head in displeasure after every other sequence. Even if you do agree with the views that the film advocates, it will be challenging to appreciate the decisions these characters take. It is that sort of a movie where you forcefully end up judging the characters and that usually does not work well for a movie that depends on manipulating its viewer's emotions by milking the tear gland.

Performances are stunning and I really loved Priyanka Chopra. Farhan Akhtar comes second but it is the chemistry between them and the equal parenting that they showcase (or pinpoint) that helped me finish the movie which is also terribly long and purely hagiographical. More than anything, if you were to appreciate the movie, then appreciate it for its take on death, its acceptance, and grief. About everything else, it's a sugarcoated mess produced only to immortalise the life of someone who had a rare disease. TN.… Expand
