“Chamku,” the latest release starring Priyanka Chopra and Bobby Deol has proved to be a total disaster. Right from the title there seems to be a lot that is wrong with the film. The title suggests a comedy, however, the film is just the opposite of what you did expect from a film with such a name. According to Bobby (when asked about the name of the film) "I thought 'Chamku' was just a working title. But it's my character's name. And it completely fits in."
Priyanka Chopra in the film plays a total girl next door role, deglamourized and all. According to Bobby Deol, "Priyanka is a sweetheart. She plays a deglamourized role in “Chamku.” Most heroines wouldn't want to get into that deglamourous space, especially in a film that's driven by my character, but she agreed". The film is a violent story of how a man from Bihar driven by circumstances is forced to become a Naxal. The lighter half (minus the violence) is the love story part of the film.
The film is yet another in Priyanka’s line of flops. Her forthcoming film “Fashion” if it doesn't do well would probably put an end to a glittery future for Priyanka. If she another flop or two there would be any in the industry who would be scared to touch her with a barge pole (no pun intended). Priyanka better put in an extra effort at choosing her roles and films, this is especially true after her “Lovestory 2050.”
