Unfinished Book Review by Anupama Chopra | Priyanka Chopra | Film Companion

- The strength of Unfinished is that it’s in Priyanka Chopra’s voice. At one point, she writes: "I get to choose what I share and when I share it." Of course she does, but there are several places in which you wish the curation had been less sharp. Here's Anupama Chopra's take on the memoir.

seriously? book review?
The sample was too wordy and repetitive .... it was kinda boring
Not even interested 😂
We love her and her book unfinished. Her native country mates hate her book why,I wonder??
The memoir just reflect her personality...full of wit, fun, intellect, motivation, chirp, inspiring, confidence, sharp, articulate and purposeful. She is QUEEN.
Haters will ask why she’s reviewing books but Fans will say that she loves words in every medium.
Pokhraj killing it everywhere
@@Timepass-cx1do Thank you! So sweet!
Of all books by B'wood celebs, this is the first she's reviewing. Something suspicious 😉
@@buntysonawane5750 Maybe it’s the start of something new.
@@PokhrajRoy. btw Priyanka has a very good PR team & everyone in bollywood knows 😉
Anupama doesn't disappoint. As always, brief and unapologetic in her criticism. In this world of political correctness, Anupama is honest. I admire that.
True, the book was well manicured but had it not been, this book would have become a controversy instead of what it truly is ... a memoir in gratitude to her parents. I strongly recommend this book especially hearing it on Audible since this is in Priyanka’s own voice and what a beautiful experience 😍
I've just received Priyanka Chopra Jonas' "Unfinished" from Amazon yesterday and it is such a joy to read. This is just the book we all need right now! She shows such purpose in writing in a positive and uplifting way for women, particularly younger women and basically for anyone who has faced adversity in life based on their gender, ethnicity or just some how being different, that might turn up as a barrier unless one can turn things around and succeed no matter what. And she has amazing stories like the monkey 🐒 story in the school yard which I will not spoil. She patiently explains a lot of the differences between India and America. She has a special exuberance for life that it would be great if a lot more people had. Her film characters are often just as bold and straight forward as she is so she shines in a film like "Fashion" or even "Dil Dhadakne Do." I can understand Anupama wanting to see more about the acting but I think that all that can appear in the follow-up book to this one. And I think it is great that Anupama reviewed Priyanka's book. Can't recommend it enough. It makes you feel great like some of the best Hindi cinema films!
Are there stories about her bollywood films, directors etc.?
@@clevitationcr1982 There are stories about her Bollywood films in the Aseem Chhabra biography which includes the thoughts of directors she has worked with. In marketing her brand, sadly, most Americans are not much interested in her Bollywood career because those films are in Hindi and many are not comfortable watching them with subtitles even though many of them are as amazing and awesome as any sterling American film. Extremely successful South Asian professionals need to craft a new American identity once living in the States, which seems unfortunate. But she is will always be total masala and the totally Desi girl forever even in her new life. As long as she is happy which her memoir seems to confirm and her love for both her parents and for India is inspiring and it is relatively easy to see most of her Bollywood films.
@@larrybone4065 Shit man, that sucks. Bollywood has been 90% of her career and yet she doesn't tell much about her movies/directors etc. Most Indians would be interested to know about only that.
Don't know about book, but Everything about Anupama is Grace!
😂
Now I want more book reviews from Anupama!
thanks for reviewing it...I do not see many Bollywood people talking about it...I thoroughly enjoyed it...we see her this confident beautiful amazing women and it was nice to read about her vulnerable side of it...what was on her mind when such big things were happeneing
Priyanaka is a shrewd business woman with very little acting talent.
Biggest eg of being there at the right time in the right place. completely agree with your review
@Ashe Tyr who said anything about it being wrong? Just a life long observation about her.Peace✌️
@Ashe Tyr again that's debatable, m enittiled to my opinion ,if you don't think so,that's ok.
she is extremely talented actress, u shud see her indian masterpieces.. However i cud sense why one wud say bcoz her English movies- her acting is ok-ish, she is yet to get right parts..
She is an amazing actress though. She proved her acting prowess way before she proved her business acumen. At least try to know what you’re talking about.
You're spot on! I could almost hear her narrating voice as I read the book.
She loves words irrespective of the language and medium!❤️💫
She was not untrained beauty queen, she was beauty Queen who was an untrained actor. Huge difference and important one.
You didn’t get what she said. ( no offence)
What a great start to the morning!
Loved the review.... 😊
Would really love to hav weekly or monthly book recommendations and book reviews from you.
Thanks for this one.
I see priyanka chopra as a human being :Who is an excellent achiever, someone who has goals and she achieves it.Thank you so much Anupama for this insight.I will read book now✨✨
Was waiting for this!!!
Thankyou Anupama for this review. Priyanka is an icon for a reason and I read the book twice with a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Every time I read the chapter of what the family went through during Dr. Ashok Chopra's suffering kills me deep and down. Everyone should read it. It's brilliant and highly inspiring.🙏☺️
I like priyanka Chopra and she is talented, but what I dont like is western media they focus more on her personal life ,her marriage with nick Jones, her wedding which was 2 years ago, instead of focusing her work ,Hollywood didn't gave her strong role after Quantico its saddening me as a fan that she is on limelight because of her marriage with nick rather than her work.
Yes totally agree. The talk is more about her marriage than her work. She has many projects ahead of her now. Let’s see what comes out of them
Yes thts true
She recently gave two worldwide number 1s on netflix tho. 2021 is her year
@@digantkaushik2389 which one ,the white tiger is adarsh movie, despite priyanka and rajkumar every critic is praising him ,yes priyanka did well but the movie is for adarsh, which other movie you are talking about
@@munaahmed1940 she was the executive producer of white tiger too.
I guess there's nothing about acting in the book cuz Priyanka wanted it to be more about her life and just not her career.
Anupama's review is more moving than the book lol
Articulate, detailed and satisfyingly descriptive as always ❤
Absolutely the strong n influence girl of world nw love u lady
Great video!
Why didn't you review soha Ali Khan's book , I like her
I liked the book. Simply written, moving in parts. It’s not a kiss and tell, most of the story is known. I loved the memories of family and father.
Her memir is about her... not her work or process about movies rand i think its good to write like that...because she is open about her work always
PRIYANKA CHOPRA IS QUEEN 👑❤️
I love Priyanka and I love this video because Anupama ma'am is so nice to Priyanka ❤️
Wonderful review! 🤗
Am I the first to comment. Good review Anupama. I have yet to finish the book...it's UNFINISHED ☺
If she plans to release another Memoir 20 years later, she would have to start documenting things from now onwards, when things are recent and current. I think today it is incredibly difficult to pen down things that happened more than 20 years ago, as we do not have a photographic memory. Also, most of her content will be based on inputs from her family and friends. So that makes a difference.
I love her ...
I love PC♥️
These are the same gang, who unofficially banned her from Bollywood, and harassed her with KJo mafia.
When did that happen??
@@shantanudubey7495 lol 😂😂 after the issue with gouri khan all these banned her. You do your research before commenting.
@@sravanthib3560 she has worked with dharma too many times so idk what u r talking about?
@@user-fk8md4jn3i did I say she didn't worked with dharma? She worked with dharma, she had a fallout with SRK, then KJo banned her. Google the story.
@@sravanthib3560 she was after srk, they had a brief affair, for gauri she was a husband snatcher, no wonder she was banned
Wow. I must say, I approached this review with some skepticism-Anupama rarely does book reviews and this seemed like an attention grabbing tactic! Post watching it though, I stand corrected. She articulates whatever I felt about the book and more! It's so true that Priyanka is a powerhouse of an actress ( I wanted The Sky Is Pink some time back and man, she is amazing in it) but scarcely delves into how she managed to hone her craft. The family piece also seemed like gloss-if her own uncle called her "kaali" there's got to be some brown girl trauma hidden there right? Great job Anupama and Film Companion!
We feel sad as her true fans because she doesn't mention alot about her journey in the Hindi films. But all around the world people will love her book..that's for sure😊
I Would love to read it!
Why not a review on Unscripted by VVC??
I went through the sample and I didn’t feel like buying the book
Seriously. She is opportunist and misleading
@@92_09 shut up she had work hard enough to be stand there. U haters always stay mad lol
Find chapterwise summary of the book, Unfinished, on the channel, Richer Readers! 😀
Now I want her to review books as well 😳 or am I being too greedy?
Honest reviews 😊
The interview clearly is so Indian we won’t stop complaining no matter what won’t we ? The woman has as many pages with all that she’s achieved there is only so much that can be put and while u talk about a lot of stuff she didn’t cover there is always another book and time chill on it woman
I haven't read Unfinished although I have ordered it from Amazon and am waiting. I can see how Anapama would most like to see Priyanka talk about her acting method or approach. But most people in America do not know much about India and the huge emphasis on family unless they've watch a lot of Hindi films, a lot of the rom-coms and particularly pre early 1990s older ones. Western families are often so wildly dysfunctional compared to many Indian families. Perhaps the emphasis on family partially made her more confident and surely her parents were stellar and extraordinary, lavishing as much or more attention on her as they would a son. I don't think in the West, that people have much interest in Indian culture except for the exceptionally wealthy it must seem so different from most Americans' family experience. I feel badly about any prejudice she experienced in America and think it's important that people know are informed about it. She offers so much that is positive and her voice is so unique and individual yet her concern is for often very much for community and family as in "The Sky Is Pink" or in "Mary Kom". Totally agree that there will probably be more books, some concerning acting. But many Americans are always mightily impressed by all the care and love in many families seen in India and the diaspora of Indian people all over the world. I think this sounds like an awesome book, just the right sort of narrative that people who have seen her short appearances on late night shows would like to see. It must be difficult for a huge star to explain her life and India in 10 to 12 minute segments, so this book is the perfect venue. If famous actress Dame Judi Dench can write two books of autobiography, than Priyanka may very well write 3 or 4. But I like Anupama's review as she always spots the strengths of those she interviews. And Priyanka is a lady of amazing strength.
perfect ❤️
found the memoir highly non controversial!! plays so safe!! and a little narcissistic.... i agree banal and like all she was interested was to tell the western audience about India... maybe they'll read this and the tourism will increase
So, finish the review already
Yes totally agree about Kashibai and that one line stole the whole movie for me! She stole the show in Bajirao - should’ve been called Kashibai!
Thank you for the review .
Bharat,
It is disappointing but she felt she needed to write for an American audience to support her new projects. Anapama Chopra was really disappointed that there was not much in Priyanka Chopra's memoir about her Bollywood career. I think we need an American "special" to run on an American movie channel showcasing Priyanka's best Bollywood films. The purpose would be for Americans to see her Bollywood films that they would love if they'd just give them a chance. Her overall film portfolio is not near as much appreciated as it ought to be.
I was so looking forward to this. Your opinion matters. Thank you
Don't be selective Anupama Ma'am if you want to review then review more books.
Chutzpah seems fancy. Whatever that means :-\
It is an actual word. Google it!
Its Hebrew. Its used widely in the US and some times in Europe. But Anupama using it is pretty displaced and unnecessary. Its more like monkey see monkey do in this case. If you live in New York... many words from various languages become a part of our daily conversation. But when and where to use it is just as important.
@@sravpola not so fancy thn😭
@@simranbansal1228 haha.. yeah. To keep up the "intellectualism" farce. Enjoy the show, but know that its all a show. will keep things sane. :)
@@sravpola yes only people living in the NYC can say chutzpah. God forbid we Indians trying to expand our english vocab.
Pc is the best..
I want to know wether she wrote anything about sharukh khan and Gauri Khan gang .....as they made her career misrable in india
Recently she indirectly said that evn some tried to bring her career down ....so that is somthing inspiration to me inspite of so many peopl to pul her down she got through it ❤️she is very strong at the same Tim her father passed away ...also she was labelled as home breaker ...break up with Shahrukh....also abrahim Khan came to birth ...strong lsdy
This book has nothing we don't know. i expected something new, something i didn't know. disappointment!!
Since when have you started reviewing books😊
You'll find a lot of book reviews on our website www.filmcompanion.in Do check them out!
These all running behind priyanka because she is global icon now. 🤣🤣 these are the same guys who spread rumors about her and banned her.
@@sravanthib3560 exactly 😂
Acha I want to know how to become a critic... Is there any course or we have to declare ourselves as critic and start reviewing? 🤷 this whole critic thing I don't get.. everyone has different perspectives we definitely don't trust anything believed by other people we o first experience and than decide naa🙄
Yeaaa tell whole snippets from the book and call it a review 😑😑😑
Priyanka's book unfinished 📖 is really amazing and interesting, loved it. Priyanka's life journey inspires many people.
she is priyanka chopra.
pc🌟
Hope she used simple English. Because educated people are not going to read her book anyway. She is only a movie star who does things just to be in the lime light. Charity is a big zero.
Agree 👍.
Sad review
Not a good review,it is a memoir
She was called kaali when she was young yet she went ahead and endorsed fairness creams in India and got skin lightening done on herself. (major facepalm)!
Common...Haven’t we all at some point in our life felt Insecure and tried / dreamt to have fair skin or a skinny body etc etc it’s juts a phase and each person grows beyond that after a point of time. Why don’t you see other side of a coin rather criticizing everything.
True
She was kaali even when she won miss India I mean how she won that
@@abdurefidak136 because that was the time when skin colour didn't really matter. (And she was and is a beautiful woman I agree! Watch pop music videos of the 90s and early 2000s, so many dusky beauties! Check out the song Sukhbir's Gal Ban Gayi and see the four models dancing. World's becoming a fucked up place now when it comes to defining beauty standards.
@@abdurefidak136 miss India is all about business,seriously hw can v all decide that
We all make mistakes and make bad choices and as we evolve, we learn from those mistakes. She did apologized about that choice in her book too. 🙂
Not interested in PC enough to find out more about her fakeness, superficiality and incidents of #metoo in virtually every major issue ever raised!
Still you're here to comment? I think you are obsessed
@@digantkaushik2389 so true!
Absolutely 😂
Is this important ?
Seems like it isn't important for you! Why are you here?
Hater spotted
@@navyasiddanur Bro m a subscriber and it's not important for me ,y should I read a film actress book
What exactly is 'important' according to you?
'Important' is subjective
Please post a finished book review.
Bittoo
I loved everything about this book especially about her hometown, my mom is also from Bareilly and my mamu do service in same army where her father does,
Does it mention her affairs with Akshay and ark and Harman or it just mentions her poor life style living in u.s.a😎
Who cares...
Binod 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Payment aa gayi h
Hey Ishwar, please Kangana se bhi autobiography likhwao. I really want Anupama Chopra review it too. 😂🤣😂🤣
If I'm ever reading that, know that I'm not in a good place in life. Here I am watching a video about it so guess not doing great right now either lol.
... I mean think of all the marvelous pieces of literatures out there and you're reading about Priyanka Chopra ... no hate but c'mon
Love everything about her
Mam, this is an honest feedback. If you can review self-help books like Atomic Habits by James Clear, How to fail and still win big in life by Scott Adams this would be a great series of book reviews in your channel.
Let’s see Raise of hands for people who would want AC to have a BingeList segment for books she recommends! 🙏🏽✋🏾
warning:- brokers ahead
We know that Priyanka has a very good PR team 😎 So is PC paying for this?😉
Go n see all her achievements then u talk instead on focussing on PR we adore u Peecee n haters r burning out
@@dharvinnarraidoo9817 of all the books by B'wood celebs, Anupama is reviewing only this. Something suspicious 😉
Absolutely I totally agree
Why are you reviewing a book? Isn't this supposed to be a movie/tv show review channel?
Well it is a self written memoir from one of the top bollywood actresses that is globally known (also by non bollywood lovers). I think it's to huge of an issue not to talk about it.
@@midnightfairycase2145 I've never seen her review books by other actors...
Book sounds terrible.
The book is amazing n the mindset of haters like u r terrible
@@dharvinnarraidoo9817 Irrelevant. 😂 You sound terribly triggered.
I think This book is all about fake life journey like according to book she was born in a poor family despite being born in a family whose parents are doctor 😂
It's all about global publicity stunt....😛
Proud of U Queen pri 😍
If srk is not mentioned ... then not interested......yaaaawn
Who cares if srk is included..he doesn't mean any great thing to her why should she include that if srk autobiography was written would u have hoped him to mention Peecee name
@@dharvinnarraidoo9817 yup defenetly
Lol Sucharita should probably learn something from Anupama.
#boycottbollywood #justice4ssr
Oh still stuck there
Move on
Indian ambassdors in West are indian people who are working in IT industry or in nasa Or chief of google fb not filmi actor and actresses who need to marry a Westerner and speak americanised English to show their worth.
Phew......u need to seriously invest your hatred somewhere useful
@@9703392319 speaking truth is not hatred. How many indian artists get respect in West othar than jonas surname. They make fun of our films. They will consider u as themselves either you become one of them like dev patel or priyanka chopra otherwise they know nothing about other artists or some artists which shows extreme poverty in India like satyajit ray. Just do some research and come
Look at ar rahman he doesn't speak americanised English when he works in West because he is genuine. He doesn't need to impress anybody or wrote memoir
@@SunnySingh-is2wm rip your English and your thinking. Best of luck
@@9703392319 rip your logic and 😂 thoughts. Without knowing anything just blabber. Best of luck to you too just read some good books and argue except Bollywood actress memoir 😂🤣😂🤣
In today's world instead of reading Gandhi Lincoln bose we are reading memoirs of filmi actor and actresses. God save this world. What an intellectual downfall.
While reading the biographies of Gandhi and Bose is important to glean from their experiences, there is nothing wrong with reading a heartfelt story about ANY life, no matter however ordinary or extraordinary. I am sure I will learn a lot from reading about your own story. Every story has a lot of life experience in it and everyone can pick up something or the other from everyone.
@@deepaksrinivasmondal nailed it. My respect to you.
@@9703392319 thank you, Ma'am. You're very sweet and kind.
Absolutely well said
