Priyanka Chopra’s New Rom-com Is A Disaster

Any rom-com that calls its Indian-origin heroine Mira Ray(probably combining the names of the two most well-known Indian filmmakers abroad), cannot be taken seriously. Sure enough  Priyanka  Chopra Jonas’s  Love Again is  more of a joke than a sentimental  rom-com which it tries very hard  to be.

Critics Abroad have slammed the  film in one voice.

Speaking of   voice, the story centres around the  singing legend Celine  Dion . The  script seems  to have been written to flatter her vocal chords while  Priyanka and  Sam Heughan  playing the romantic leads, just don’t seem interested  in one  another.

Not undeservingly, Love Again is a boxoffice disaster. Coming as it does in the wake of  Priyanka’s success  on the  OTT platform with Prime Video’s Citadel, the question that crops up urgently  is, does this spell the end  of  Priyanka  Chopra Jonas’ career as  a movie star?

While her career  in Bollywood is  a closed  chapter, in the West she had  had no luck as a big-screen entertainer. On the  other hand, she has had much  better luck on the home-viewing medium  with  Quantico  and now Citadel.
