The Royals

WHAT A MESS! Horrible direction, bad music and BGM. Superficial acting, unbearable Bhumi 😭😭😭 just random actors chucked together with no character arcs. Ishan and Sakshi tanwar are probably the only saving grace.

This is a perfect guide on how you should not make a show, when you spend exuberant budget only on fashion and opulence and the basics are ignored, reflects the complete incompetence of the makers. So many actors wasted! Sumukhi was barely there and whenever she would appear , it would be only for forced comic relief. Bhumi what have you done to your self, atleast your acting skills shouldn't have been part of your damage. The plot wasn't that bad tbh, the execution was horrendous. Ishan and bhumi's chemistry is also so OFF.

Great canvas and initial idea but failed script, screenplay and acting. Exhausting watch, absolute cringe-fest.

I'm not sure if Bhoomi's character is meant to be 10 years younger than the actor or if Ishaan's character is meant to be 10 years older. Completely feels out of place and forced conflict and chemistry, just bad..

The screenplay and dialogues destroy what is an opportunity to showcase relatively good lighting, color, and set design..peasing to the eye.. The forced 'steaminess' or sensuality angle just seems incredibly unnecessary!

An absolute opportunity to build genuinelly good characters out of the royal siblings absolutely wasted.

A little depth and character development would've gone a long way.

The Royals is a shallow waste of time.

This series is a letdown from start to finish. The storyline is highly predictable, and the overall execution lacks originality or depth. Bhumi Pednekar is a Royal misfit - her performance feels forced, and she fails to bring any emotional authenticity to the screen. Her presence becomes more irritating than impactful.

Zeenat Aman, a legend of Indian cinema, is sadly wasted in a role that adds little to the plot. Casting such an iconic actress for a throwaway part makes no sense and feels like a missed opportunity.

The only saving grace here are Sakshi Tanwar and Ishaan Khatter, who bring genuine energy and conviction to their roles. They both make the series slightly watchable, but unfortunately, even their combined efforts can't rescue this poorly written and poorly cast show.

I feel this series is receiving a lot of hate, but i feel we should sometimes put the hate for a particular actress aside and watch being a neutral to not let things cloud your judgement as an audience.

This series came as a surprise, the the cast surprised me. Not great acting, but ofcourse the twists would blow your mind. They weren't forced. Felt smooth. Something you couldn't just guess. You would be thinking that's a happy ending right there and there goes your happy ending just like that with the plot twist.

Overall, I finished it in two nights despite having an exam to study. Very binge worthy for Moms, for the younger population not to suitable, the ones who are interested in drama, spicy romance, rule breaking, etc., this series is a perfect watch for you guys.

Bhumi's performance and dialogue delivery were severely lacking. She neither looked nor carried herself like a CEO, and her portrayal fell far short of what the role demanded. Instead of projecting authority and sophistication, her performance came across as immature and unconvincing-more fitting for a teenager than the head of a company. Unfortunately, she just didn't suit the role.

Ishaan Khattar truly excelled in the role, delivering a performance that was both captivating and authentic. He effortlessly embodied the character's regal presence and natural charm, making every scene feel rich and compelling. His portrayal brought a sense of depth and vitality that made the character not just believable, but mesmerizing to watch.

The storyline is lacking and there's a lot of misses, for an example, episode 8, the CEO doesn't even know how to use SUM function in an excel. Come on, who uses manual addition in excel. The makers didn't even do their research behind every scene.
