The Romantics Trailer Sparks Twitter Debate on Whether Yash Chopra is More Than Just 'King of Romance'

The Romantics is a new four part docu-series that consists of interviews from Ranveer Singh, Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukerji and more celebs who talk about Yash Chopra and his great legacy. After the trailer released though, it sparked a debate on Twitter about whether the film director was just the "king of romance" or more than that. Many argued that he has a diverse collection of films to his name which are not all romantic. The Romantics Trailer: Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Kajol and Others Come Together to Celebrate the Docu-Series on Yash Chopra’s Legacy.

The Agony 

Me when I hear Yash Chopra being reduced to the king of romance. It's like reducing Hrishi-da to the king of comedy. I beg you. Please stop. pic.twitter.com/GRel7AeFiE

Dark Edgy Romance 

i get the frantic urge to counter with “yash chopra did a lot of dark edgy action/social films too not just romance” but acknowledging his zeitgeist-shaping contribution to the romance genre won’t kill you, beta baith jao

Artistry and Intelligence for All

Yash Chopra had a varied career with thrillers and sociopolitical dramas. however his major impact on the industry is within the romance genre because he imbued those movies with the same importance, artistry, and intelligence as he would with any other genre he worked in. https://t.co/2p7DjQoFcP

Don't Insult Yash Chopra 

I was extremely upset when,on the day #DadaSahebPhalke award 2022 was announced, someone in this group of film buffs I am part of,said-"What did #YashChopra deserve DSP for?Chiffon sarees & Switzerland??".

I went all shades of red cause I was so angry. https://t.co/31giyEKfNj
