The Royals

All is good except Bhoomi Pednekar...it seems she has forgotten to act plus she looks ugly on screen now. The only time I enjoyed the series was when Bhoomi was not on screen... even the support cast and junior actors have done a great job only disappointment was Bhoomi Pednekar. Ishan Khattar was outstanding.

All other actors were great, story line was fine everything was ok but female lead could have been different... Bhoomi Pednekar has started looking like a plastic skeleton... She should go back to acting school learn everything again eat some food and then should do a comeback for now it sucked.

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.

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.

Bhumi is a disaster. Their meet-cute is awkward, their banter forced, and their romance, the supposed emotional anchor of the show, is the weakest link.

Pednekar, capable of far more textured performances, is saddled with a character who swings from headstrong entrepreneur to helpless mess depending on what the script requires.

Khatter, meanwhile, gives it his all-brooding over his family legacy one minute, playing shirtless beach polo the next - but the writing gives him precious little to work with. His most compelling scenes are with his horse, which, frankly, displays more emotional range than most of the ensemble.
