The Romantics

It was really good to see Aditya Chopra talking, the pioneer of Hindi cinema, and Indian cinema as well, who bought us DDLJ, Dhoom, all these time he has been at the forefront of the trajectory of the industry itself, and I think his contribution is huge as a creative producer of YRF than the director, IDK, if that's correct because DDLJ still running in theatres is not a small feat and this kinda feat is never achieved by any filmmaker at all, he's the only kind. The film running in north India is understandable but re-releases of it running in other non-Hindi speaking states is definitely an outlier and no other film even comes closer to this kinda achievement.

On favouritism/nepotism: after seeing him talk for the first time, it feels like Aditya Chopra hasn't been part of that usual group of Bollywood folks that has triggered this whole nepotism thing. 2 parts of his talk: 1. Saying that he doesn't want to get into that group that make films just to get awards and competing for awards wasn't for him, making the best films was only his goals; 2. When he said that he introduced Ranveer Singh just because he did well in his first audition and how he always relates to the common audience as he himself is an avid film goer and does so every Friday which in itself shows his passion for cinema as a whole.

Overall, it's a documentary where most Bollywood fraternities talk and it slightly gave a feeling that this documentary itself was made & released now to make people feel that there's no nepotism in Bollywood and how these people even hate saying Bollywood itself, a more like a brain-washer for the common audience but just with a little understanding of the current pathetic state of Hindi film industry, one could easily understand that this is again a gimmick by these people to instate the confidence in Bollywood but these pricks aren't still getting the point that nothing matters in the end except making good films and if they start doing it again, everything's gonna fall in place again, it's damn so simple but these people's brains are so fried out of popularity that they're not able to see/imagine this simple picture of their mind, god bless them.

But, if you're still reading to see if you should watch this documentary or not, I'd say you must if you're following Indian Cinema since this is probably the first time the pioneer of Indian Cinema, Aditya Chopra has opened himself up and its really good to see him take us through his journey of film making and his passion for Cinema is just fascinating to see.

Movies, a dream of a maker, shown on a big screen to a wider audience, who tend to find themselves within it, building up their own dreams.

This series is a tribute to one of the legends, whose name will remain, as long as there is Hindi Cinema. I would agree to his dislike to the term "Bollywood" as in India, now, at least the south is making way bigger movies, so bringing all the different cinema's under one umbrella is a little harsh.

This tribute is beautifully told not only by the actors who under the direction of Yash Chopra became the legends, but also showing the love, the affection, his family has for him.

Growing up in 90's, can depict the behind the scenes of making some of the all time best movies coming from this industry. It shows how it all started, the journey of many, the low's, the rising and how till date it continues.

If you like Hindi movie cinema, do watch this 4 episode tribute, you will like to see the star's telling / sharing their stories.

Absolutely enjoyed the interviews and the stories. I am someone who doesn't like the Melodramatic bollywood, songs and dance movies but would definitely appreciate it's existence and important to the core of our Indian identity. This show has documented Mr. Yash Chopra's struggles and film making skills. There are interviews of his films actors and newer generation artists. And man! They managed to interview Aditya Chopra, yes you read it right. I never imagined I would see him in front of the camera. I believe this his way to give respect to his father. I would highly recommend this documentary to all the Bollywood movie lovers.

The Romantics Is Absolutely Beautiful Documentary And Showcases The True Elements Of Romance, Drama, The Indian Culture Its Perfect Show Dedicated to the Late Great Yash Chopra Ji who has in the past made cult classic evergreen brilliant movies in the early 70s to 80s to 90s and also in the 2000s decade, it also shows the journey when he made his first film in the 1959 and how his older brother also made the movies Aswell. Aditya Chopra Was Brilliant And When He Started Talking It Was simply superb How He Tells his journey of how he became a director and worked with his father he was the only one who had carried out his father legacy and always supported him. SRK was amazing and his journey of being a film star was superb and how he worked with Yash Chopra Darr Movie. Uday Chopra Was Also Superb.

Overall I Would Give This A 4.5 to 5 stars A Must Watch Documentary And Its An Beautiful Fantastic Documentary Dedicating To Yash Chopra Legacy From 1959 to 2012 He will always be Remembered with Kabhi Kabhi, Silsila, Chandni, Kabhi Kabhi, Darr, DDLJ, Dil To Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein, Veer Zaara, Dhoom, Hum Tum, Bunty Aur Babli, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Jab Tak Hain Jaan,

The Romantics is not only about the romantic films that YRF produced but all about The Great Yash Chopra & YRF. Also, it talks not only about the successful films but also about the films which failed. It also presented how Cinema has changed with its time and situation.

I've never watched an Aditya Chopra interview and by watching the documentary I got to know that he never gave that. But, it's so good to hear him, first he's a movie lover and then a producer, writer & director. It features the making of some iconic films, it would've been good if they showed the same of Veer Zara too. Lastly, if you've loved Hindi Cinema so far you'll love this.

Available on Netflix.
