Citadel: Honey Bunny

One of the most awaited series of 2024 by Raj & DK is finally streaming on Prime Video. Clearly this one beats the previous shows of the Franchise.

The series excels in terms of action sequences and twists in the storyline. The show consists of 6eps, for which this doesn't seem to be boring. This series has its drawbacks but still it's worth watching. There wasn't a need for ending it in a cliffhanger for S2 which could've been avoided. This has the same vibe of every other works of Raj & DK but somehow things looked scratchy in between. I mean look at their previous works, be it Farzi, Family Man or Guns & Gulaabs each time they proved their worth with their creativity and engaging plot but this time things didn't go too well which ended up being a one time watch. Varun, Samantha and Kay Kay Menon sir were good in their respective roles.

Overall a decent series to binge-watch this weekend which would take nearly 4-5hrs.

3/5.

#anwarsays Anwar Says: Intricate storyline, polished action, top class cinematography are the highlights of this Russo's creation. But people expect more from Raj & DK, you may not go for a binge watch of this web series. It slows down many times and every other move is predictable. Director duo have been able to create suspense by setting it in 1992 and 2000 and frequently switching.

Chemistry of Varun Dhawan and Samantha is a treat to watch. Kay Kay Menon as sinister nails the character. But the character you are not going to forget is Kashvi Majumdar as Nadia , the 6 years old daughter of the couple. Her confidence and dialogue delivery are stunning. Casting director has made good research in picking the supporting cast.

One more feature of the series makes it watchable is the background score of Sachin-Jigar. Directors forgot to tell the audience, what was Operation Talvar. Overall not an outstanding spy thriller but you can go for it on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Citadel Honey Bunny was a major letdown. The storyline felt disjointed, and the pacing was all over the place, making it hard to stay engaged. The characters lacked depth, and their development felt forced, making it difficult to connect with them or care about their journey. The plot seemed to be trying too hard to be suspenseful but ended up feeling predictable and cliché. Despite a promising premise, the execution just didn't deliver. The dialogue was cringe-worthy at times, and the attempts at humor fell flat. Overall, Citadel Honey Bunny was a disappointment and not worth the time. Now it's all up to you.

I had very high hopes with this series especially after watching Citadel (Priyanka Chopra).

This series looks like very loosely made. We have some very good actors like Menon but not at their best. I did not have very high hopes from Varun Dhawan but the worst out of all was Samantha- I THOUGHT she was a good actor! But I was so wrong!

The series looks bad in terms of direction. It seems the actors were given scripts and told to do whatever they feel like with the scenes.

This really could have been a 7 plus rating series. Better direction and better choice of actors may have helped.

I am sure they spend a lot of money making it but overall it was a disappointment!

A complete waste of a webseries with no proper storyline, poor screenplay, no proper emotional connect as well.. The movie shuttles between 1992 and 2000 but the cars, locations, guns and technology look more modern than that times which itself kills the authenticity of the plot.. They all fight for some "Thing" which is not properly explained about the meaning or significance which makes it boring.. Good cast but honestly not able to see good chemistry of the leads... Also good actors chosen and wasted...As usual surprises in betrayals which can no more excite and due to diwali too much of guns and crackers which also makes it very dull watch... Thankfully does not give a big lead with openended sub stories for season 2... There are no motivating factor for watching its part 2...
