Where can you stream Priyanka Chopra’s filmography?
You can watch most of Priyanka Chopra’s Indian films on Prime Video, Netflix, and local OTT platforms like ZEE5. As for her Hollywood ventures like Baywatch and Love Again, one can stream most of them on Netflix. Meanwhile, her TV series Citadel is a Prime original.
If you wish to watch Chopra’s movies according to genres and her career highlights, here’s a deeper look.
Early Beginnings with Romances
Priyanka Chopra found her early success as a model, notably winning the Miss World beauty pageant in 2000. Since then, she began getting acting roles alongside major actors like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. While the spy thriller The Hero: Love Story of A Spy marked her debut, Chopra shone as the leading lady in romantic dramas and comedies like Andaaz and Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.
Dramatic Evolution with Serious Roles
Aitraaz was an early career highlight as the thriller allowed Chopra to step out of formulaic Bollywood heroine tropes. Sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor, Chopra played a manipulative corporate boss who tricks an employee in an erotic conspiracy.
Chopra followed this performance with more character-driven performances and played around with multiple genres, as is evident from her participation in the superhero drama Krrish, the neo-noir Kaminey, and the crime thriller Don.
Her future supporting performances that have aged well with time, include her roles in Barfi and Bajirao Mastani. Both movies interestingly involved love triangles with Barfi featuring her as a wealthy heiress with autism and Bajirao Mastani starring her as a queen trapped in her husband’s extramarital romance.
From Fashion to 7 Khoon Maaf: Chopra takes the Lead
After establishing herself as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, Chopra is also notable for getting top billing in some of contemporary Bollywood’s best female-led movies. It started with Fashion that prompted Chopra to revisit her pre-acting roots as a model on the rise. This trend continued with more acclaimed performances such as the eponymous Olympian boxer in Mary Kom, and a twisted femme fatale in the dark comedy 7 Khoon Maaf.
Transition to Hollywood
2015 marked a watershed moment in Chopra’s life as the actress transitioned to acting in America with the espionage thriller Quantico. Chopra starred in the series as Alex Parrish, an FBI Agent falsely implicated in a terrorist attack.
Following the show’s three-season run, Chopra went on to diversify her Hollywood portfolio playing the villain in the Baywatch reboot, headlining the rom-com Love Again, having a brief supporting part in The Matrix Resurrections, and co-starring with Game of Thrones star Richard Madden in the big-budget spy thriller series The Citadel.
Why Is Barfi Priyanka Chopra’s Best Movie?
Barfi!, India's official Oscar submission for Best International Feature, features Indian actor Ranbir Kapoor in the role of a deaf vagabond whose naïve mishaps are evocative of Charlie Chaplin comedies. The hero's companion and potential love interest, Jhilmil, is a bright and innocent autistic woman played to perfection by Priyanka Chopra. As another woman enters the picture, Barfi also becomes a tearjerker with a heartbreaking love triangle. The Anurag Basu-directed drama continues to endure as a classic for its blend of slapstick humor and pure romance. The upbeat songs in the film are a standout feature, with some of the better ones centering around the amusing antics of Kapoor and Chopra.
