Himesh Reshammiya, the Indian rockstar and music composer, has given his seal of approval to the upcoming Prime Video film, ‘Heads of State,’ starring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, John Cena, and Idris Elba. In a recent video, Reshammiya reviewed the film in his signature "andaaz," complete with witty zingers and snippets of his iconic song 'Aashiq Banaya Apne'.

Reshammiya, known for his groovy tunes and meme-worthy moments, has broken the internet with his latest review. He called the film an "action mixtape" with "seeti-worthy moments," praising the performances of Cena and Elba, and noting Chopra Jonas' "desi tadka". He even compared the experience of watching the film to entering the "Taj Mahal of hearts".

‘Heads of State’ is an action-comedy directed by Ilya Naishuller, known for his work on ‘Nobody’. The film follows an unlikely duo: the U.S. President Will Derringer, played by John Cena, and the British Prime Minister Sam Clarke, portrayed by Idris Elba. Despite their public rivalry, the two leaders must team up to thwart a global conspiracy after Air Force One is shot down. Priyanka Chopra Jonas plays MI6 agent Noel Bisset, who aids them in their mission.

The film balances action and comedy, with much of the humor stemming from the dynamic between Elba and Cena. Cena plays Derringer as a former action star who rode a wave of popularity to the White House, while Elba portrays Clarke as a stern, pragmatic leader with a military background. Their contrasting personalities and comedic timing add to the film's charm. Priyanka Chopra Jonas brings flair to her role as the MI6 agent, shining in both combat and comedic moments.

Critics have noted the chemistry between Cena and Elba, calling them an "absolutely irresistible duo". Cena's performance is described as a caricature of his own public image, while Elba adds depth to his role while seamlessly adapting to the movie's comedic tone. Chopra Jonas shines as a legitimate action star.

The narrative involves a layered plot with a high-stakes chase led by Viktor Gradov, played by Paddy Considine, and a larger conspiracy to derail global peace. The script, written by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec, and Harrison Query, is praised for its cohesive and tight-knit narrative. Jack Quaid, Carla Gugino, and Stephen Root round out the cast.

While some reviews mention that the film doesn't reinvent the wheel and relies on familiar tropes of international espionage thrillers, the energetic performances and action sequences provide entertainment. The film is described as a "wildly entertaining action-comedy" with stunning stunts and global set pieces.

‘Heads of State’ premieres on July 2nd on Prime Video in multiple languages, including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. It is part of Prime Video's Prime Day 2025 lineup.
