The Royals

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 just finished watching this series, and immediately I felt like it's a very bad casting or I can say pairing of the main actors. The age difference of Bhumi and Ishan is clearly visible. Also there is no great story or suspense they have created. Everything is too predictable. I was actually waiting for the series but now I'm disappointed, it was very weird to see their chemistry even nora's charector was also not going well with Ishan. Although Ishan acted very well. I liked the acting of Sakshi, it could be a great series if there would be a good story and very good casting. I saw milind soman is also in the series but his screentime is almost zero, wish he would have much bigger role.

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.

I was excited to watch this series as it looked like the perfect show for glamorous, dramatic, and romantic elements within a royal family.

While it was glamorous (great costume, set, and makeup) it lacked everything else. Ishaan Khatter, Vihaan Samat and Sakshi Tanwar carried this show completely.

I was very disappointed in the script writing because it lacked depth and proper transition of scenes. Dialogue was okay, but there were countless scenes where it was extremely poor and despite the good acting by those mentioned above, it felt awkward because of the dialogue.

I was also really disappointed with Bhumi Pednekar's acting. I love the previous movies she has been in, but she could not emote the expressions that were required to carry the chemistry between her and Ishaan, nor could you tell if she was mad, sad, jealous, etc.

The story picked up in the last few episodes and I am looking forward to the new season. But with that, if there is a season 2, it really needs a better writer and screenplay.

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.
