The romantic comedy-drama web series “The Royals” has finally landed on Netflix, bringing together the talented duo of Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar. As the curtains draw open on this highly anticipated show, fans are buzzing with excitement, and the reactions are pouring in on Twitter. Let’s take a closer look at what people are saying about this star-studded series.
Reactions are Mixed
While some fans are raving about the show, others are expressing their disappointment. One Twitter user slammed the series, calling it a “beautiful-looking but superficial saga that squanders its potential.” They felt that the show’s attempt to blend business and royalty into a romantic comedy fell flat, making it neither compelling nor cohesive. Asmita Pant (@TheAsmitaPant) tweeted, “In its attempt to be a palace-set, Instagrammable, business-meets-royalty romcom, it ends up being neither compelling nor cohesive.”
Chemistry Between Ishaan and Bhumi Steals the Show
Despite the mixed reviews, fans are unanimous in their praise for the lead pair. The chemistry between Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar is undeniable, and fans are eating it up. A Twitter user gushed, “Ishaan and Bhumi are a pair I never knew I needed. They look bomb together! The chemistry is chemistry-fying!!” (@kaunntujhe_) Another fan echoed this sentiment, calling the duo “kamal” (amazing) and “shandar” (fantastic).
Some Fans Struggle to Stay Engaged
Not everyone is on board with “The Royals.” Some viewers found the show’s pace to be sluggish, testing their patience. Archi Sengupta (@archisengupta) tweeted, “I am at the end of my rope with Netflix’s shows. ‘The Royals’ really did test my patience in a way that I probably have never felt before.” Sukanya Verma (@SukanyaVerma) jokingly titled her review, “When Luxury Collides With Lameness.”
A Star-Studded Cast
“The Royals” boasts an impressive cast, featuring the likes of Zeenat Aman, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, and Chunky Pandey alongside Ishaan and Bhumi. Directed by Priyanka Ghosh and Nupur Asthana, the show promises to be a visual treat with its grand sets and locations. While opinions about the series vary, one thing is certain – Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar make a captivating on-screen pair that has won over many hearts.
