Her seductive role in Aitraaz complemented that element of mischief about her that shined through with roles in the Don franchise, culminating in delicious but underappreciated bits like Kaminey and 7 Khoon Maaf. Cast as the exotic dame in her early years, Chopra chanced upon both glamour and grit indirectly.
(Priyanka Chopra made her debut with Tamil film Thamizhan, opposite Vijay, in 2002.)Ĭhopra’s trajectory as an actress somewhat confirms the view that it takes ageing and a blend of cynicism and experience to eke out a career worth remembering as opposed one worth nostalgically revisiting. Roughly 20 years after she made her Hindi debut, the Indian starlet has, at least in terms of sheer pop culture cache, made it. Citadel, instead, feels like a bridge between both and it finally gives Chopra the platform or that rare shot at worldwide popularity and prestige that she has eyed since leaving the modesty of Hindi cinema behind. This isn’t the superhero league that Citadel creators, the Russo brothers, unleashed upon the world with the Avengers, nor is it the deftly observed landscape of intrigue that John Le Carre has so casually bled into through his immaculately detailed books.
Marketed as a marquee spy thriller, Citadel follows clichéd spy tropes, but paces itself swiftly enough to numb suspicions into submission. The first frame we see of Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Amazon Prime’s much-hyped Citadel is that of her perfectly tapered behind walking away from a blur as a fanciful train compartment rotates into view.
