Our desi girl Priyanka Chopra appeared in the latest Matrix movie, The Matrix Resurrections, alongside Keanu Reeves and her fans couldn’t be more proud of her. Not only is she making a mark in Hollywood but working in one of the biggest movie franchises is a significant achievement in itself.
Even though her screentime wasn’t as long as one would expect, reviews on leading publications such as Wion described her as performing “a meaty chunky role and she does justice to it”, further adding that she has proved her “acting mettle” yet again.
“Priyanka Chopra also finds a credible mention as she plays Sati. While her screen time is less, she gets a meaty, chunky role and she does justice to it. She plays a crucial role in getting Neo and Trinity together as the actress proves her acting mettle yet again,” writes Wion News.
However, an Indian publication stressed on Priyanka’s “8-10 minute appearance” in the film and compared her to Deepika Padukone, who had comparatively more screentime in her latest release 83. Responding to the publication, PeeCee’s mother, Madhu Chopra, defended her and called her role “crucial and pivotal”, reports Hindustan Times.
Crucial and pivotal… FYI

Numerous fans of PeeCee took to Twitter to defend her screentime. Many highlighted how even within this short span of time, Priyanka gave an impactful performance and the fact that she is a part of a Matrix movie alone is a huge deal.

Priyanka Chopra’s The Matrix Resurrections has Oscar nominations before it’s release that the power and stardom of this franchise don’t insult it with comparing to any other movies (bollywood)

The length of a role in a movie is a Bollywood standard. In Hollywood it’s the impact of a character. No one in the west measures an actors career impact via the length of their roles. Actually no one outside of India looks at it like that.

I think you need to see this movie again. Priyanka’s character Sati is one of the most important part of this movie. Priyanka shines in this movie. So what if it’s 8 or 10 minutes. Those minutes me to add up to be a lot more. Priyanka’s impact in this movie is incredible. 💊 ❤️ pic.twitter.com/qXQtg0fda0

This tweet has a certain Bollywood actress' name written all over it. Jealous much? Or maybe insecure? How pathetic. First go get a 10 minutes pivotal role in a big franchise like this and then talk. https://t.co/7HAsXnGeth
