Priyanka Chopra Movies Biography
Source:- Google.com.pk
Although, at first, Priyanka found herself stuck playing the eye-candy in films such as Kismat (2004) and Asambhav (2004), she soon took a chance with a negative role (as a woman who sexually harasses her employee) which earned her a Filmfare Best Villain Award for Aitraaz (2004), but it wasn’t until the dual hits of Krrish (2006) and Don (2006) that she really began to make her mark on the industry. Nowadays, Priyanka has enough star power to headline alone, and has managed to deliver some brilliant and memorable performances in between her ‘babe’ roles.
In the upcoming Barfee (directed by Anurag Basu and set for a 2012 release), Priyanka faces her greatest acting challenge yet, undertaking the role of an autistic girl. So, in preparation, let’s count down her five best roles so far…
AITRAAZ (2004)
Aitraaz is not a good film. The direction is clunky, the acting patchy and the songs subpar, but there is one good reason to see it.
Taking on a negative role is always a risk for an actor or actress, especially if, like Priyanka Chopra, you want to carve out a place as a serious leading lady. Playing a vindictive, vampy, man-eater (who accuses an innocent man of rape) could have resulted in her being typecast as a ‘villainous vixen’, but, instead, it allowed her the opportunity to really sink her teeth into something a little more substantial than the ‘pretty girl’.
Also worth mentioning is the song ‘I Wanna Make Love To You’ (cringe worthy lyrics), which plays over a raunchy dance sequence shot in one long, uninterrupted, take.
DOSTANA (2008)
As Neha, a successful but incredibly gullible fashion editor, Priyanka isn’t required to do much more than stand around in several revealing outfits while Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham make jokes beside her. They play two straight guys who pose as a gay couple in order to rent rooms in her apartment, and then proceed to fall in love with her while she falls for her new boss. Despite the fact that they take her on dates and try to sabotage her relationship, Neha remains oblivious to their deception.
It is to Priyanka’s credit that she manages to pull off a character that could have been annoying or unbelievable in the hands of another actress. It is the warmth and vulnerability that hides beneath her perfectly made up face, and her genuine likeability, that makes this one of her must see roles.
