The Sky Is Pink

This movie is based upon true events, basically upon a girl's life who's going to live for a short period and the disease is not cancer but a different one which hasn't been shown in any other movies I've watched at least. The entire film's voice over is given by that girl based upon whom it is made. I was expecting that this would be about portraying the lives of people, generally about LIFE and it was exactly as I had expected, I don't know why but somehow I like watching people's lives in the feature-length films and mostly because of the way the Bollywood films are made, I'm referring to Farhan Akhtar's sister Zoha but this was made by Shonali Bose and I was not disappointed though as it had the same feeling of watching over the reels of the lives of people living their lives from the start to the end with those more than usual timing of the character's gauging into the eyes of others which is literally like conveying the message across to the other person without even uttering a word, I was thinking that Farhan Akhtar's acting makes me feel that way but I think it is about the maker who gives such intense no-dialogue scenes that conveys something that cannot be interpreted but only is felt. I wish that Bollywood keeps giving films like these to let their industry keep running, haha.

This movie is amazing on so many levels. Go watch it and you wont regret it. Amazing performance from the whole cast, especially priyanka( there is a scene where her character goes through a psychotic breakdown..i cried). It will be worth every penny you spend.

#FinalVerdict

Few filmmakers stick their necks out to tell difficult stories. For their intentions alone, Ronnie Screwvala's RSVP Movies & Roy Kapur Films deserve a thumbs-up. Take a bow, Shonali Bose!

Some films are more than just cinematic expressions and The Sky Is Pink is one such film where director Shonali Bose has worked herself to the grind & her presence is felt in every frame. Her devotion and dedication towards her craft is truly inspirational. The Sky Is Pink is special in more ways than one. In my individualistic opinion, it easily ranks amongst this year best works so far. Just don't miss this one!

Clearly, the writing (Shonali Bose & Nilesh Maniyar) is smart, taut and absorbing. Kudos! The emotions in The Sky Is Pink would've fallen flat had the writing been sub-standard or the execution of the material been humdrum or the actors been inferior. But, thankfully, it scores in all three departments. All said and done, it's an outstanding film!

The story is complex but The Sky Is Pink is *not* disheartening or unsettling. The emotional quotient is tremendous. You'll overhear a lot of sniffs & see a lot of moist eyes once the lights are switched on. But it's a positive film & not a rona-dhona movie. Irrespective of how this film performs at the box-office, but note this, director Shonali Bose would be a force to reckon with after The Sky Is Pink. Pritam's music is soothing. Nick Cooke & Kartik Vijay's cinematography is incredible. The very effective and subtle background score (Mikey McCleary1) is The Sky Is Pink's very backbone. For the very first time, I felt that I was not hearing the background score, I was feeling it. Dialogue (Juhi Chaturvedi & Nilesh Maniyar) will touch your soul.

Now to the performances! Farhan Akhtar & Priyanka Chopra make the characters so plausible. It must be said that Farhan Akhtar & Priyanka Chopra exude a certain dignity and elegance, much needed for a sensitive film of this magnitude & caliber. Kudos to them! That doesn't mean that the remaining performances get dwarfed. Not once does Zaira Wasim dither from her position. This is the hallmark of a tremendous actor, which Zaira Wasim is. Rohit Saraf is a revelation, another surprise of The Sky Is Pink. Amazing!

Manas Mittal's editing is so well synchronized that the 2+ hours of your precious life that you would spend on this movie are absolutely worth your while. On the whole, The Sky Is Pink is an amazing experience. Should win awards & also box-office rewards. It should strike a chord with everyone with a heart. An unmissable film which encapsulates the true essence of life & death & seduces the viewer with a strong emotional quotient.

A beautiful movie that makes you cry and laugh and feel When you are done you would want a hug

The movie takes you on a journey, that will leave a lasting impression on you. Priyanka & Farhan aced their roles, and Zarina brings justice to such a sensitive topic.
