The verdict is out. The first reviews of Priyanka Chopra's Hollywood debut, 'Baywatch', have had Western critics mercilessly pan the film, though PeeCee's work has been appreciated. Many felt the expletives and crass humour was forced.

The Guardian noted, "Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra, the underused villain of the piece, looks like she was contractually obliged to show as much flesh as permissible."
Variety wrote, "<a title="Priyanka Chopra" href="http://www.mid-day.com/search/priyanka-chopra-all" target="_blank">Priyanka Chopra</a>, the crossover Bollywood star, preens and schemes like a vamp from Dynasty, and the whole drugs and real estate plot has a musty air of sub-Miami Vice intrigue &mdash; it's closer to Starsky and Hutch.

Forbes said, "Chopra has fun as the baddie, but she stays in the background until the end of the movie and really only gets one big scene at the end of the picture. The showdown is the best moment in the film, one which cleverly plays on gender-specific action movie tropes while showing its female villain no gender-based charity. I wish more movies had female super villains and to its credit, '<a title="Baywatch" href="http://www.mid-day.com/search/baywatch-all" target="_blank">Baywatch</a>' doesn't treat it as a big deal."
