It may be Priyanka Chopra big release after the critically and commercially successful "Bajirao Mastani" but she is the sole character on whose shoulder rides the Prakash Jha directed film. But will the film and more importantly Priyanka Chopra be accepted in her desi avatar as a cop? When Priyanka Chopra’s “Jai Gangajal” hits the silverscreen on Friday, it will not be just her test but that of the audience as well. It may be Priyanka Chopra’s big release after the critically and commercially successful “Bajirao Mastani” but she is the sole character on whose shoulder rides the Prakash Jha directed film. But will the film and more importantly Priyanka Chopra be accepted in her desi avatar as a cop? Actress Priyanka Chopra is winning accolades both here and abroad for her Oscar Award appearance and “Quantico” and her career graph is skyrocketting like no other and she is making the country proud all over the world. If the trailer of “Jai Gangaajal” is anything to go by, Priyanka’s brutally fierce and bold avatar is overwhelmingly impressive. Her character Abha — is fearless and feisty and Priyanka Chopra teaching a lesson for life to all those who attempt to corrupt the society. In a fury of wildness, she shows what exactly it takes to be a ‘junglee billi’.

Remember how the audience was taken aback by Rani Mukerji’s hard-hitting “Mardaani” trailer? However, when the film hit the big screens, it fared averagely at the Box Office inspite of having a strong storyline.The whole idea of an actress playing a heroic character is something that doesn’t blend in well with our conception as we have a preconceived notion of seeing an Ajay Devgn playing Bajirao Singham or a “Dabanng” Salman Khan performing unrealistic stunts, setting impractical goals.

The entire nation is singing praises of director Ram Madhvani for presenting before us a masterpiece like “Neerja” and the audience just cannot get enough of the Sonam Kapoor starrer. In the last few years, Bollywood has witnessed a tremendous change as movie makers are going for more content-driven plots rather than making a masala entertainer, not that commercial films have their own place in Bollywood and cater to a particular audience. Despite of “Neerja” being a brilliant film about courage, bravery and valour did win a million hearts but has scored a very average number at the Box Office.
