The Sky is Pink


Movie Review (Hindi)

There are three reasons why the movie stands out -----   

This protagonist is an 18-year-old girl full of life, suffering from a rare disorder of the immune system   

The movie is based on a real story   

         The main protagonist and narrator is already dead when the movie starts
 All the actors, Priyanka Chopra, Fahan Akhtar, Zaira Wasim and Rohit Saraf have done a commendable job. Thanks to director Shonali Bose for telling this story in a moving yet positive way. Though the passing away of Aisha is heart-wrenching, the narration by Aisha herself is perky, funny and witty.
 The years from the parents’ courtship, till they lose Aisha, is portrayed in a manner that bypasses the monotony of linear storytelling.




 I will now go through the pages of My Little Epiphanies but this time with more awareness, as if Aisha was telling me what and why she doodled and penned these thoughts.
