Heads of State movie 3 review: At last, Priyanka Chopra comes good in Hollywood; John Cena steals the show in fun ride
Heads of State movie 3 review Cast: Idris Elba, John Cena, Priyanka Chopra, Jack Quaid, Paddy Considine, Carla Gugino, Stephen Root, and Sarah Niles Director: Ilya Naishuller Where to watch: Amazon Prime Video Rating: ★★★ If you have followed Priyanka Chopra's career over the last two decades, you know what the actor is capable of. From Barfi to Bajirao Mastani and as far back as Aitraaz, she has wowed audiences with her skills and screen presence. And yet, to the West, this had all been absent. Her career in Hollywood, though successful, lacked good films and projects that could be remembered. With Heads of State, she has taken that belated first step in that direction. The film and the actor both come off as likeable, but the true star of the show in this action comedy is John Cena. Heads of State is a throwback to the good old actioners from the 90s that is equal parts fun and thrill. Just do not expect anything deep from it, and you will have a great time. Heads of State movie review: Priyanka Chopra, Idris Elba, and John Cena in the film. Action movie star Will Derringer (John Cena) is the new US President. As he meets the commando-turned-British PM, Sam Clarke (Idris Elba), the two have a standoff in front of the world media. The solution is a show of faith, a joint ride from the US to Europe aboard Air Force One. However, a Russian arms dealer (Paddy Considine) orchestrates a terror attack on the plane, and the two heads of state are stranded in Central Europe. Now, they only have their wits and a protector in MI6 agent Noel Bisset (Priyanka Chopra) to get to safety and foil the terrorists' plans. Heads of State reminded me of the best of Arnold Schwarzenegger's action films from the 90s, where you have well-shot action set pieces blended with cheesy one-liners and one-dimensional villains. That is the kind of simplicity modern action films have disregarded in the quest to be complex and edgy. That nostalgia alone is worth this trip, but Heads of State has more to offer. There is a romantic subplot in the film, too. But the real chemistry is between Idris and John Cena. The two play these bickering, egoistical tough guys, who will not bow down and never accept mistakes, to perfection. They play off each other quite well, enhancing their already-stellar chemistry from The Suicide Squad. But it's John Cena who walks away with the applause. The actor proves yet again he is much more than just a former wrestler. His comic timing is phenomenal. And despite being his size, he takes on the 'sidekick' trope quite well. He makes the film jump at you in dull moments with a perfectly-delivered one-liner here or simply a twitch of the eyebrow there. Priyanka Chopra is the muscle of the film, a refreshing break in the genre that is known for following the gender norms a little too much. Priyanka is part of some of the most intense and brutal fight scenes in the film, and she aces them. There isn't much room for performance in a film as light as this, but she still holds her own against the two leading men. Idris Elba seems the most lost in a rather clichéd part that does not utilise his acting chops. The surprise element of the film is Jack Quaid, who infuses some new life into the film in the middle with an unpredictable yet typically quirky character. The shortcomings But Heads of State is not a perfect film, not in the least. It is predictable with a wafer-thin plot. All the twists and turns are quite generic and follow tropes that have been done to death. What saves the film is that it never pretends to be anything smart or path-breaking. Heads of State knows it's a run-of-the-mill action thriller and delivers what it promises—high-octane action, cool fights, and witty humour. Heads of State is popcorn entertainment at its core - the perfect weekend watch that can be consumed even if you are doing something else. Well, that is what it has essentially come down to with streaming, hasn't it?

Karan Johar Says Shanaya Kapoor Makes 'Every Frame Come Alive' In Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Trailer
Karan Johar also praised Vikrant Massey for immersing himself in his role. Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey's Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan trailer was released recently, and Karan Johar is in awe of the film. He took to his Instagram Stories and penned a note for Shanaya Kapoor for her film debut. He also praised Vikrant Massey for his acting prowess and shared the trailer on Instagram. Karan Johar said, 'A heartfelt love story with the promise of deep and solid emotion. Shanaya, you're so gorgeously sincere and make every frame come alive. Vikrant, you are so amazing and have immersed yourself into the part! Badhai ho, Sandy! Can't wait to watch." Have a look here: Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is directed by Santosh Singh and is based on Ruskin Bond's story — The Eyes Have It. Produced by Zee Studios, Mini Films and Open Window Films, the film is scheduled for release on July 11. The film marks Shanaya Kapoor's long-awaited Bollywood debut. After Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, Shanaya Kapoor will be seen in director Bejoy Nambiar's survival thriller, Tu Yaa Main, where she will star alongside Adarsh Gourav. In a recent chat with us, Shanaya called facing the camera a 'surreal" experience. She said, 'Facing the camera is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's such a surreal feeling. Like, after the cut, you go back and you're like, 'Oh my God, that's going to last forever'. So, you cannot take this lightly. You owe it to the camera and the audience. You owe it to the actor you're working with, the crew that is there waiting for you to get that shot, and, of course, also owe it to yourself. That's the least amount that I can do to have something so big that it's everlasting. I'm just happy with how things have happened." 'There were moments where I was thinking this is just not going to happen, or maybe this is not meant to happen, and it's it. You had those feelings, but you had to pick yourself up. You have to keep working. And what was like, my mom always says, 'The universe has a plan and trust the universe, put your head down. What's in your control, you control that,'" she concluded.

Idris Elba opens up on impact of ageing, says 'Im not getting as easily influenced'
Washington DC [US], July 2 (ANI): Actor and musician Idris Elba talked about the challenges of ageing. The 'Heads of State' actor appeared on the latest episode of Good Hang with Amy Poehler podcast and discussed the pros and cons of being in the 50s, according to People. "I don't love that, at this age, the age of having wellness and consciousness, is so upon us, yet our bodies fail us," said Elba. Poehler agreed, "The biggest bummer," joking in addition, "I mean, the fact that you can get hurt just getting out of bed." Elba shared that for their generation, "Some of the coolest things -- art, music, culture, some of the craziest world politics that set the dynamics for where we are right now -- all happened when our emotions were blossoming, and our adolescence was growing," reported People. Reflecting on another positive side of this age, he said, "Your influences change," adding, "I think in my 30s and 40s, I was blowing with the wind a little bit with what was influencing me, what my goals were." "And in the 50s, I'm like, 'Nah. That wind has to pass around me.' I'm not getting as easily influenced," shared Elba, as per the outlet. At 52, Elba is also "not afraid of difficult things, or challenges that make me uncomfortable." "And to choose your own discomfort is like a privilege at our age," said Poehler," 'It's gonna be uncomfortable, but I'm gonna be in charge of it.' " "We talk about AI and all that stuff. I refer to it as like, 'Wow. That's the future that we talked about as kids that was just in our imaginations, and here it is, " Elba added, reported People. 'Heads of State' is on Prime Video.
