The Romantics (2023– )
10/10
Great show. Not very well marketed.
28 February 2023
I really enjoyed the documentary. The interviews felt very genuine. The best part of course is Aditya Chopra. I had never seen him before this show. Had no idea how he looked. For a person that is regarded as shy and introvert, he actually is very well spoken and expressed his ideas clearly. He should do more interviews. The series is laced with great scenes from some of the most iconic Hindi movies. There are also several behind the scenes footage I had not seen before. The series renewed my interest in some of the classic movies and I am going to watch some of the older Yash Chopra movies that I haven't seen before. There are also several pictures of young Abhishek Bacchan, Hrithik Roshan, Uday Chopra and others. They all look very cute. I also feel bad for Uday Chopra. He is a very sweet guy. I actually like him as an actor and thought he did well in the few movies he starred in. It's sad we did not get to see more from him. This is also evidence for all the nepotism complainers that if nepotism alone ran Bollywood, then Uday Chopra should have been a top actor. I personally do not see any wrong in kids wanting to do what their parents did and parents wanting to give their kids the opportunity. It happens in all businesses; why treat the film Industry differently? There are many good actors who have made it in the Industry that were outsiders. The biggest example of course being Shahrukh Khan. I would also be very happy to see Aryan Khan in movies. Let the audience decide if a movie or an actor is good. We Indians love cinema. Let's keep politics aside and just welcome good movies and actors wherever they come from.
