Plot:
As a hardcore action-thriller enthusiast who’s seen more spy shows than I can count on one hand (and still have fingers left!), I must say that Citadel: Honey Bunny is an intriguing blend of past and present, with a dash of adrenaline-pumping action. The long-shot scenes are nothing short of breathtaking, making it a visual treat for the eyes.
The screenplay of Citadel: Honey Bunny moves back and forth. It shuffles between two different time frames – 1992 and 2000.
In 1992, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, known as Honey, was a struggling actor, while Varun Dhawan was a stuntman in movies, going by the name Rahi Gambhir or Bunny. Due to financial difficulties, Honey couldn’t pay her bills, and Bunny proposed she join their special ops team for a job. Her initial task involved retrieving a black electric gadget from an individual called David. At that point, Honey was unsure if she was working for the right side, and unaware of the risks inherent in her new line of work, as poverty had driven her into this uncertain profession.
2000 found me residing with my daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majundar) in a picturesque hill-town. Aware of the perils that come with my career as an undercover agent, I’ve made it a point to impart her with all the necessary skills for safety during turbulent times. My partner Bunny is currently stationed in Bucharest, but circumstances compel us to reunite to ensure our daughter’s protection.
To learn about the events that caused Honey and Bunny’s split, the importance of 1992 and 2000 in the Citadel timeline, and whether they manage to rescue their daughter while possibly reuniting, tune in to Citadel: Honey Bunny.
What works for Citadel: Honey Bunny
As a passionate admirer, let me express my captivation with Citadel: Honey Bunny! The action scenes are so masterfully filmed and meticulously choreographed that they frequently surpass global standards. The background score grips you, and the remix of classic tunes enhances the intensity of the action sequences. Truly, what unfolds on screen during the action episodes is a breathtaking symphony in motion!
Throughout the series, you’ll notice several unique moments that consistently remind you this is a Raj & DK production. Each actor delivers solid performances in their respective roles, but special mention goes to child actress Kashvi Majmundar who brings Nadia to life. Her appearances on screen always promise an exceptional scene.
What doesn’t work for Citadel: Honey Bunny
The show “Citadel” seems to be missing the excitement and intensity typical of shows in this genre. The plot isn’t particularly engaging, and there are inconsistencies that make some parts of the story hard to believe. It feels like a standard espionage-thriller with predictable elements. The script jumps back and forth between stories, which can be confusing, as it’s unclear why these two narratives are being told together. Additionally, since the characters aren’t significantly different in age, it’s sometimes hard to tell if a scene is set in the past or present. However, when it comes to action, “Citadel” delivers quite well.

Performances In Citadel: Honey Bunny
Varun Dhawan, playing Rahi Gambhir, delivers a strong performance throughout the 6 episodes. He skillfully executes his stunts with grace. Samantha Ruth Prabhu shines brightly as her character. She possesses an appealing on-screen charisma and executes action sequences professionally too. Among all the actors, Kashvi Majmundar as Nadia stands out.

Kay Kay Menon, Sikandar Kher, Simran, and Saqib Saleem consistently deliver strong performances. Shivankit Singh Parihar and Soham Majumdar, playing Chacko and Ludo respectively, are delightful to watch. Shashank Vyas as Vivek or “V Uncle” also holds his own. The other supporting actors of Citadel, including Honey Bunny, effectively bring their characters to life.
Final Verdict of Citadel: Honey Bunny
Citadel: Honey Bunny is a spectacularly shot and choreographed action-espionage series which could do with a much better story and screenplay. If you like sleek-action and one-take shots, there is no reason not to tune into Citadel: Honey Bunny because it has those in plenty.
