Having a child who needs constant care and attention is very stressful for all the members of the family.. It needs a lot of determination and sacrifices to go on. But above all someone should be there to take decisions, to execute plans, and to take the real hot seat of the primary caregiver. That's what is portrayed in " The sky is Pink"..The plight of the parents of a critically Ill child to give her a chance and then a meaningful life.. It is based on a true story.
What stands out in the movie is sterling performance by Priyanka Chopra as Aditi, the mother.. Her steely determination and strength combined with support from the husband, Niren, give Aysha 18 years of meaningful life..'Moose', as Aysha calls her mother, does extensive research on the condition of her child so much so that she even argues with doctors and takes immediate actions in every crisis. Aditi's philosophy is clear as she tells her son over a long distance call to never let someone else tell you the colour of your sky..The colour of your sky is and should be as you like it to be..
Aysha's posthumous narration with a tinge of humour blows a breeze to take away the heaviness of very emotional scenes..
It's a good watch.. But one wishes such a topic and remarkable performances could have been dealt with a little more depth..
