Citadel: Honey Bunny Review – An Edge-Of-Your-Seat Thriller On Amazon Prime

After The Family Man, Farzi, and Guns & Gulaabs, Raj & DK has now arrived again with a spy series, Citadel: Honey Bunny. Inspired by the original Citadel, the American spy series created by Josh Appelbaum, Bryan Oh, and David Weil, Citadel: Honey Bunny is again a spy series that involves many agents and is full of action. Both the original and the spin-off have many similarities, with the thread expanding on the present and the origin of everything happening eight years ago. The series’ title cast, consisting of Varun Dhawan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kashvi Majmundar, Kay Kay Menon, Sikandar Kher, Saqib Saleem, Simran Bagga, Soham Majumdar, Shivankit Singh Parihar, and Parmeet Sethi, has delivered stunning performances in Citadel: Honey Bunny, which is streaming presently on Amazon Prime.

This series would be the first full-fledged action package from Raj & DK, as firing, fight scenes, and thrilling encounters happen in each five minutes without much interval. While The Family Man had a lot of drama with Srikant Tiwari’s (Manoj Bajpayee) family drama and issues, his intelligence officer for the Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell’s (TASC) role has been distributed equally in both seasons. In Farzi as well, dramatic scenes were equally distributed with the detailing of the lives of Sunny (Shahid Kapoor), Michael Vedanayagam IPS (Vijay Sethupathi), and Mansoor Dalal (Kay Kay Menon). The same happens in Guns & Gulaabs as well.

But Citadel: Honey Bunny has a full package of fight scenes with perfection and excellent execution.

It seems like the action sequences and the emotional arcs have been tailored for the lead actors Varun Dhawan, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, and Kashvi Majmundar. The youngest among the entire lot, Kashvi Majmundar as Honey’s daughter Nadia, is the surprise package in the whole series. The question of how a child artist can pull off such an extraordinary performance will keep coming in each scene Kashvi is on screen.

After the surprising performance in The Family Man, Samantha, the only female actor who shares most screen time in the whole series, would not disappoint you as Honey, an aspiring actress turned spy who becomes part of a group of agents who work with Baba (Kay Kay Menon) in countering a plan by another set of agents associated with a tracking platform. The story later takes spectacular twists and turns, and the viewer would never leave the binge. As in the original, data and information are also the main business on which both the groups of agents are fighting in Citadel: Honey Bunny.
