A Hindi film after over three years, Priyanka Chopra would have huge expectations from Sky is Pink. se expectations were partly fulfilled with Shonali Bose directorial being almost unanimously lauded by critics. However, it’s t good news, as far as box office collections are concerned, if day one collections are anything to go by. romantic-family drama h a slow start, earning Rs 2.50 crore on Friday, as per tre reports.

Despite positive reviews all around for Sky is Pink, movie did t have a great start. Certain movies take a slow start in morning shows and if word-of-mouth is good, footfalls pick up towards evening shows. However, major change was witnessed in case of movie, also starring Farhan Akhtar, Zaira Wasim and Rohit Saraf. In fact, movie’s opening day collections are lower than Priyanka’s last Hindi film Jai Gangaajal, which h earned Rs 5.5 crore on release day. However, several movies have picked up on Saturday and Sunday after a poor first day and that is definitely possible in case of Sky is Pink because of impressive critical response.

Or successes to blame? 

It is t yet clear if Hrithik Roshan-Tiger Shroff’s War doing historic business at or end h anything to do with Sky is Pink’s unimpressive opening. action film is being tipped to be highest-grossing film of this year, with collections inching close to Rs 250 crore in less than 10 days.  On or hand, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is still doing well in South circuits. DC’s Joker is enjoying decent footballs.
