Critics savage ‘cheap and cheerless’ Diana film as tawdry soap

LONDON, Sept 7:  Film critics have savaged a new movie  of the late British Princess Diana’s relationship with a Pakistani doctor as an intrusive and embarrassingly cheap soap opera. British-born Australian actress Naomi Watts plays the jilted princess trapped in a gilded cage. English actor Naveen Andrews is heart surgeon Hasnat Khan, who gives her the love she craves in ‘Diana’, which held its world premiere in London on Thursday. (agencies)
