Priyanka Chopra laps up praises for ‘Baywatch’

With Priyanka Chopra’s Hollywood debut film ‘Baywatch’ set to hit theatres this weekend, the first set of reviews are out and they are mostly in favour of our Bollywood star.

According to DNA India, the general reviews of the film have been disappointing, with Chopra walking away with praise as the negative character of Victoria Leeds in the film.

In one of the reviews, by IGN, it said, “The only other highlight is Priyanka Chopra as nefarious entrepreneur Victoria Leeds, who outshines pretty much anyone she’s in a scene with. Chopra’s engaging and interesting and is the only character that speaks with any kind of distinctive cadence, with the rest of the cast falling into the exact same pattern of delivery of their hackneyed gags. None of them are given much of anything to do, either.”

Previously, Chopra has spoken openly about her character, which be refreshing for her fans to see. She said, “I guess my character is completely unnatural to the film, and that’s the beauty of her. She doesn’t take off her shoes to go on the beach also. She doesn’t like sand. She only wears couture. So there’s this one scene in the film, it’s the funniest thing. When she has to get off the jeep,somebody puts a stool in front of her so she can stand on it, because she’s that much of a diva.”

‘Baywatch’ releases in India on 2nd June and worldwide this weekend.
