Soon-to-be-released "Aetraaz" will mark beauty queen-turned-actor Priyanka Chopra's maiden role as a baddie and her co-star in the film Kareena Kapoor's return as the miss-goody-two-toes.
Priyanka can pick up a tip or two from Kareena's much praised performance in "Fida" that released Friday.
After her notable act in "Chameli", the Ken Ghosh love story with a twist has labelled her as a competent actor with a wide range. She is the high point in the film that has paired her with real life beau Shahid Kapur. Fardeen Khan is her other love interest in the film.
Unlike the damp onscreen chemistry between dating couple Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai in last week's release "Kyun...Ho Gaya Na!", Kareena and Shahid make a great reel life couple. However, the scenes between Fardeen and Kareena are even hotter.
"Fida," though not an exception story, has been liked by many and will do well at least while the initial euphoria lasts. The film delivers a message against increasing materialism in an effective and non-sloganeering way.
