Watch the Trailer of ‘Citadel: Honey Bunny’ Below:

MensXP: “Varun Dhawan delivered a fine performance and specifically loved his scenes with Kay Kay Menon. Their dynamic was quite interesting to watch. Varun is good in action sequences and excels in dramatic portions. The music of the show is good including the background score and the editing is slick. Props to the production designer and cinematographer for skillfully bringing out the vibe of the ‘90s and ‘00s.”

India Today: “Varun as Bunny gives one of the most mature performances of his career. Samantha makes for a good pairing opposite Varun. Her vulnerability as a mother never overshadows the warrior in her and vice versa. She and Varun make for a delightful watch together.”

Koimoi: “The action sequences work brilliantly in favor of this web series for being as real as they could have been minus any grandeur, any exploding cars, flying people, flying cars, dilapidating buildings, and more. Varun, Samantha and even the little Kashvi, who just slip into these action sequences moonwalking!”

Collider: “From the very beginning, Dhawan and Samantha's chemistry smolders hot enough to potentially set screens ablaze; when the two move into proximity, it's unclear whether they intend to kiss or pull a gun on each other first. Yet Honey and Bunny's relationship undergoes a harsh evolution, as outside forces threaten to tear them apart — and, as we see eight years later, seem to have succeeded.”

Times of India: “The show's production design is commendable, effectively transporting viewers to the 90s and early 2000s. The action sequences are exciting and impactful, despite being devoid of modern gadgets and high-tech vehicles.”

News18: “Varun Dhawan as Bunny shines in his gritty moments, and his scenes with child actor Kashvi Majmundar, who plays young Nadia delightfully, are some of the series’ most touching. Samantha Ruth Prabhu looks the part in Citadel: Honey Bunny. She’s fit, she handles the action sequences with ease and she’s got that effortless spy swag. Her performance in the action scenes is fantastic — there’s a bit of raw intensity and precision.”

As per critics, Citadel: Honey Bunny delivers an engaging and action-packed experience, despite its ‘predictable’ elements. However, this Prime Video series is a must-watch for fans of the spy-thriller genre.
