Early reviews of the movie whose trailer was launched on September 10 worldwide have started pouring in and the film has received a four-minute-long standing ovation from the audience and critics for bringing Aditi and Niren Chaudhury's heart-wrenching story to the silver screen.
Wayne R,a representative of TIFF took to Twitter and wrote, “The way Shonali Bose shot the film and used flashbacks effectively added more depth to the film. Also having the daughter narrates the film added another layer of connection to her. At the end of the film #TheSkyIsPink is received a standing ovation from the audience.”
He also shared his experience of listening to members of the Chaudhary family at the festival as the story is based on the life of Aisha Chaudhary, played by Zaira Wasim in the film.
“Amazing to hear from the Chaudhary family today which is whom #TheSkyIsPink is based. Deep, emotional film about family fighting to keep their daughter alive due to a health condition. @priyankachopra was outstanding and @FarOutAkhtar was great too. You will cry,” he tweeted.

Had the pleasure of watching #TheSkyIsPink at a private screening yesterday. An utterly beautiful and poignant celebration of life peppered with some of the most accomplished performances of 2019. Shonali Bose has made something very special. 5/5 stars. #TIFF19 pic.twitter.com/Lb5pJfOfsM
