Citadel: Honey Bunny Review – Samantha and Varun Dhawan Lead a High-Octane Spy Thriller, But Does It Match 'Family Man'?
Cast: Varun Dhawan, Samantha, Kay Kay Menon, Sikandar Kher, Shaqib Salim, Simran, and others
Writers: Seetha R. Menon, Raj & DK
Directors: Krishna D.K., Raj Nidimoru
Music: Aman Pant
Cinematography: Johan Hurlein
Editing: Sumit Kotian
Streaming Platform: Amazon Prime Video
Release Date: November 7, 2024
Having successfully created popular series like 'Family Man' and 'Farzi,' directors Raj & DK have garnered significant recognition. Recently, they launched another highly anticipated series under their direction called 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' Bollywood star Varun Dhawan and the glamorous Samantha Ruth Prabhu lead in this series titled 'Citadel: Honey Bunny,' which is now streaming on Amazon Prime. Is this series, which arrives with the flair of a James Bond movie and presents a spy action thriller, impressive to the OTT audience? Does Samantha captivate once again in a role similar to her 'Family Man' persona? Let's find out in this review.
What's the Story
Bunny (Varun Dhawan) is a stuntman who also operates as a secret agent. Guru (Kay Kay Menon) leads a private secret agency. During a shoot, Bunny meets junior artist Honey (Samantha) and soon involves her in a compulsory secret operation. The dramatic events of the mission lead Bunny to believe that Honey has died. Eight years later, he discovers that Honey is alive and they have a five-year-old daughter named Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar). Bunny who is abroad returns to India to find them. Meanwhile, some are attempting to kill Honey and her daughter. Who are these individuals? What challenges does Bunny face while searching for his wife? What secrets does Honey possess? What is in the armory that the villainous gang seeks?
Performances
In his role as Bunny, Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan delivers a solid performance, excelling in action sequences. However, it is Samantha who truly shines in the series. Her acting, alongside her prowess in fight scenes, stands out. She skillfully portrays a secret agent, a lover, and a mother, offering a feast for the eyes in her romantic scenes with Varun Dhawan. Just like in the 'Family Man' series, she also sizzles in hot scenes. The series largely revolves around the screen presence of Varun and Samantha. Samantha captivates with her glamour, while young Kashvi Majmundar profoundly influences the storyline with her emotional performance. Kay Kay Menon, Simran, and the rest of Bunny's team do their roles.
Direction
While 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' doesn't offer much novelty in terms of storyline, the way it is presented and the screenplay are commendable. The directors Raj & DK have cleverly divided each episode into two parts, spanning the years 1992 and 2000, which adds intrigue. They've managed to clearly present the connections between the characters across the timelines without confusion. While the first two episodes are mostly introductory, the story picks up from the third episode. The struggle between Honey-Bunny and the villain gang to seize a world-dominating armored object is captivating. However, the lack of thrilling elements on par with 'Family Man,' the absence of twists, and episodes lasting over 50 minutes each are drawbacks.
Technically..
On the technical front, all departments have performed well. Aman Pant's background score is notable. Johan Herlein's cinematography is a special attraction, capturing fight and chase scenes that will enthrall action lovers. However, more care could have been taken with the editing. The production values adhered to by Russo and Raj DK are commendable.

Citadel Star Samantha's Changed Appearance: Plastic Surgery or Myositis Treatment Effects?
Tollywood star heroine Samantha is soon to be seen in the upcoming spy action series "Citadel: Honey Bunny." In this series, while Varun Dhawan plays a leading role, Samantha is acting in another key role. The series, directed by Raj and DK who have delivered successful series like "The Family Man" and "Farzi," is the official remake of the Hollywood blockbuster "Citadel" which starred Priyanka Chopra in the lead role. Currently, the actors involved in this series are busy with promotions.
The makers have officially announced that this web series will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on November 7. The recently released trailer of "Citadel: Honey Bunny" thrilled the audience with its action-packed content, especially the action scenes performed by Samantha.
The first trailer had already set high expectations for the series, and now the second trailer has also received super hit talk. Samantha's action sequences in the trailer have particularly captivated the audience, with some fans even praising her performance as being better than Priyanka Chopra's version in the original.
In this series, fans are excited about Samantha as "Honey" and Varun Dhawan as "Bunny," noting Samantha's refreshing appearance and gripping action. Compared to her previous action roles, Samantha appears stronger and more powerful in this series.
However, recent discussions among netizens are focused on Samantha's appearance in the trailer. They are commenting on the changes in her face, comparing her current looks with those of actress Samyuktha Menon. Some photos shared on social media show noticeable differences in her eyes compared to the past.
Some people argue that Samantha has undergone plastic surgery to enhance her beauty, especially after battling the disease myositis, which caused significant changes to her face. Others suggest that the powerful medications she used to treat myositis have had side effects that altered her facial appearance.
It is well known that Samantha struggled with myositis, a rare disease, for over a year, which also led her into severe depression. During her recovery, she traveled domestically and internationally with friends to find some relief from her pain. Observing the physical changes caused by myositis, Samantha decided to focus entirely on her health and stayed away from films for a year. She made a comeback with the film "Kushi" alongside Vijay Deverakonda and also starred in "Shaakuntalam." However, as both films did not perform well at the box office, Samantha is now pinning her hopes on the success of the "Citadel" series.

Now, once again, Samantha's participation in such bold scenes is eliciting mixed reactions from netizens. Some comment that if Samantha continues to act in such kiss scenes, she might alienate her family audience. However, others are strongly supporting her, asserting that it's her choice.
The Missing Cute Samantha!
Once upon a time, the mention of Samantha brought to mind the girl-next-door and super cute expressions in traditional roles. However, those kinds of performances from Samantha are not seen much lately. Her role as Jessie in her debut film 'Ye Maaya Chesave' remains an evergreen favorite among fans. Her mischievous, spirited performances in many films are missing in recent films and series. Furthermore, with her recent participation in lip-lock and intimate scenes, netizens are expressing a longing for the old Samantha, hoping she returns with a cute love story.
A Warning for Rana!
At the recent 'IIFA Utsavam - 2024,' where Samantha received the 'Woman of the Year' award, an interesting exchange occurred between her and the host, Rana Daggubati, along with Teja Sajja. Rana made some jokes about Samantha, prompting a playful yet poignant conversation between them. This exchange is gaining traction online. Rana jokes, "Samantha has gone from Tollywood all the way to Hollywood, from being my sister-in-law to just a sister," to which Samantha responded with a laugh, asking if he was self-trolling. She playfully warned Rana to stop the jokes. Interestingly, Samantha's ex-husband Naga Chaitanya is Rana's cousin.

A Two-Year Romance
The engagement between Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita didn't surprise anyone as there have been rumors of their relationship for some time. Chay and Sobhita have reportedly been dating for the past two years, and their holiday trip photos have widely circulated online, winning the hearts of Akkineni fans. Thus, everyone expected them to eventually marry, and as anticipated, their engagement was celebrated grandly in the presence of friends and relatives.
Divorce with Samantha
It’s well known that Naga Chaitanya was previously married to star heroine Samantha, whom he met during the film 'Ye Maaya Chesave', which blossomed into love. They got married in 2017 and were celebrated as the best couple. However, after four years, conflicts arose, shocking their fans, and in 2021, Naga Chaitanya and Samantha parted ways. Now, each living their separate lives, Chaitanya’s readiness to remarry has delighted Akkineni fans.
Did You Know These About Sobhita?
Sobhita Dhulipala was born in Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, and emerged as the winner of the Femina Miss India title in 2013. She entered the film industry with the Bollywood movie 'Raman Raghav 2.0' in 2016. Following that, she gained recognition with films like 'Chef' and 'KaalaKaandi'. In 2018, Sobhita was introduced to Tollywood through the film 'Goodachari', captivating the Telugu youth audience with her charm. She later played significant roles in 'Major' and 'Ponniyin Selvan 1 & 2', receiving accolades for her performances. Recently, she also starred in the American film 'Monkey Man'. Currently, she is working on a Hindi movie titled 'Sitara', while Naga Chaitanya is busy with 'Thandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti.
Sobhita is Bolder than Samantha!
There was intense speculation that Samantha’s bold role in 'The Family Man' web series led to their divorce, among other reasons like her item song in the movie 'Pushpa'. However, now Sobhita Dhulipala, who is set to marry Naga Chaitanya, has sparked interest for her on-screen presence, having performed more boldly than Samantha in several scenes. Netizens recall her daring performance in the web series 'Made in Heaven' and her intimate scenes there. She also made a splash in 'The Night Manager' and 'Monkey Man' with bold and intimate scenes. Now, netizens are questioning how Naga Chaitanya, who divorced Samantha for her bold scenes, is set to marry Sobhita, who is known for even bolder roles.

Samantha Stuns in Action-Packed 'Citadel: Honey Bunny,' Streaming on OTT from November 7
Samantha Ruth Prabhu is one of the leading actresses in Tollywood. Despite taking a break from films due to health issues, Samantha remains constantly in the news. Her latest web series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' is set to stream on OTT platforms from November 7. A trailer related to this series was recently released, in which Samantha dazzled everyone with her performance. She matched the action sequences with heroes in a way that captivated all viewers, bringing her name once again into the trending spotlight. It is reported that Samantha has received a significant remuneration for this series.
How much was the remuneration?
Samantha and Varun Dhawan played the lead roles in the web series 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' Samantha portrayed the character of Honey while Varun Dhawan played Bunny. This is the first time Samantha will appear in a spy role in her career. She molded herself significantly for this and even took special training for the action sequences. It is reported that she received a huge remuneration for the Citadel web series, around Rs. 10 crores, according to Bollywood circles. For comparison, it was rumored that she received Rs. 5 crores for the film 'Kushi' with Vijay Devarakonda. This suggests that her payment for the series was double. Currently, Samantha's remuneration is considered higher compared to many actors and actresses in Telugu cinema.

The series with Samantha's craze at its peak!
Samantha previously starred in the web series 'Family Man 2,' which streamed in 2021 and was directed by Raj and DK. In this series, she received widespread acclaim for her performance, especially in action sequences, which was a first in her career. Her portrayal of negative shades was particularly well received by the Bollywood audience. Interestingly, the directors of 'Family Man 2' are also directing 'Citadel: Honey Bunny.' According to the trailer, the character of Honey seems to feature even more action than the character of Raji in the previous series. The series is set to stream on Amazon Prime on November 7 and will be available in over 240 countries.
I am still a bad actress: Samantha
In a recent interview, Samantha reflected on her journey. She recalled her first film audition during 'Ye Maaya Chesave' and noted how different it was from her audition for 'Citadel.' In this web series, she had to act badly on purpose, and she performed well because she considers herself still partly a bad actress. "If I say I did my best, it doesn't mean the credit is all mine. The best in us only comes out when we are in the hands of the right team," Samantha explained.
The highlight of the series!
During the trailer launch of 'Citadel,' Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan made some interesting remarks. He mentioned that the climax of the series is on another level. "Samantha and I worked tirelessly for an action scene that lasts 11 minutes. We shot it in a single take without cuts. This scene will appear in the climax and will definitely add to the suspense," said Varun. This has greatly heightened the expectations among fans. Discussions are already underway about the impact 'Citadel' will make in India.

ANR 100th Birth Anniversary: Celebrating Akkineni Nageswara Rao, the Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR), one of the foundational pillars of Tollywood, needs no special introduction. Recognized as a Dadasaheb Phalke Award recipient, Padma Vibhushan, and Natasamrat, he left an indelible mark on the industry. Born on September 20, 1924, as his centenary completes today, fans globally are celebrating his 100th birth anniversary. Although widely known as a legendary actor, not everyone is aware that he was also an excellent dancer. In fact, he was the one who introduced dance to Tollywood, a fact that might be unknown to this generation. Let’s delve into this special report to learn more about it.

The Pioneer of Dance in Tollywood
Looking back to the early days of Tollywood, dance was not a primary focus when the industry first began. Leading actors were not keen on dancing; their focus was entirely on how to act and express emotions to captivate the audience. This was particularly noticeable between the 1960s and 1970s. When heroines danced, heroes would often just stand by, a point of criticism at the time. However, Akkineni Nageswara Rao completely changed these dynamics. While many associate Tollywood dance primarily with Megastar Chiranjeevi, it was Nageswara Rao who laid the groundwork for dance in the industry, making it an essential skill for heroes, matching and even excelling alongside heroines in dance. At one point, seeing Nageswara Rao’s dance, contemporaries like Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, Superstar Krishna, Shobhan Babu, and Krishnam Raju also began to emphasize dance in their films.
Audiences Mesmerized by Akkineni's Steps!
In the 1971 film 'Dasara Bullodu', ANR’s performance in the song ‘Ettage Unnadi Olammi’ was mesmerizing. Similarly, in 'Bangaru Babu', his dance to 'Chengavi Rangu Cheera' electrified audiences who, until then, primarily enjoyed songs for their auditory appeal. Specifically, his dance in 'Prem Nagar' for the song ‘Nenu Puttanu Lokam Navvindi’ became a trendsetter. Additionally, his competitive dance with Sridevi in 'Premabhishekam' for the song 'Ne Kallu Chebuthunnayi' delighted everyone. He also matched steps with Megastar Chiranjeevi in the film 'Mechanic Alludu'. There’s a long list of such performances, some of which are linked below for a glimpse into his prowess.

Inspired by Nageswara Rao...
Even Megastar Chiranjeevi, known for his dance, was inspired by Nageswara Rao at one point. It’s said that Chiru enhanced the importance of dance in films after watching Nageswara Rao’s movies. In an event, Chiranjeevi made interesting remarks about ANR's influence, noting that after watching Chiru’s dance, one might wonder if his body actually had any bones at all. Over the decades, as Chiranjeevi became a peerless hero in acting and dancing, he carried forward the legacy initiated by Nageswara Rao, which now continues with stars like Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, and Ram Pothineni.

Interesting Post by Balakrishna
On the occasion of ANR's 100th birth anniversary, actor Balakrishna posted a touching tribute, expressing pride in remembering Nageswara Rao. He noted that ANR's iconic roles and invaluable contributions to Telugu cinema are unforgettable and serve as a guiding light to all actors. Balakrishna urged everyone to express their gratitude for the immense services ANR provided to the film industry, from theater to cinema. His journey is an inspiration to all.

Bharateeyudu 3 Heading Straight to OTT: Can Shankar and Kamal Haasan Bounce Back After 'Bharateeyudu 2' Flop?
The film 'Bharateeyudu', which featured the successful combo of Kamal Haasan and director Shankar, created a sensation in the past. Its sequel 'Bharateeyudu 2' was released on July 12 this year amidst high pan-India expectations but unexpectedly ended up as a disaster. The film drastically failed to meet the audience's expectations. However, during the climax of this film, director Shankar confirmed the coming of 'Bharateeyudu 3' with a special trailer. Recently, there’s buzzing excitement around the third part, with rumors suggesting it’s heading directly to OTT. Let’s try to find out the truth.
‘Bharateeyudu 3’ Heading Straight to OTT!
Another film under the direction of Shankar, starring Kamal Haasan, 'Bharateeyudu 3' is in continuation of their previous successful ventures. The second part, released in July this year, failed to win the audience's favor, leading to theatrical issues for the third installment. There seems to be reluctance from theater groups to take a risk on it. In this context, makers are preparing to directly release the third part on OTT, as is strongly circulated in Kollywood circles. However, netizens comment that releasing a film by Shankar and Kamal Haasan, who have a pan-India reputation, directly on OTT could be seen as a disgrace.
Confirmed by OTT Circles!
It's confirmed by Netflix circles that 'Bharateeyudu 3' will definitely be coming to OTT. There's a chance it will be streaming by January 2025, likely as a treat for Sankranti. An official announcement is expected soon. Meanwhile, 'Bharateeyudu 2', despite its flop talk in theaters, streamed on Netflix but failed to achieve expected viewership levels. Due to this, it’s rumored that the OTT rights for 'Bharateeyudu 3' might sell for a lower price.
Harsh Trolls for 'Bharateeyudu 2'!
In 'Bharateeyudu 2', Kamal Haasan appeared as a 106-year-old man, which brought significant trolling for the unrealistic portrayal of such an aged person performing action sequences. Critics pointed out that the plot and narrative of 'Bharateeyudu 2' were poor, and it did not resemble a typical Shankar film.
Will a Game Changer Save the Day?
The film 'Bharateeyudu 2' directed by Shankar was a massive disappointment. Following underperformances of Shankar's earlier films like 'Robo 2.0', 'I', and 'Snehitudu' at the box office, there's a pressing need for a game-changer to revive his success streak. The success of this movie could potentially reestablish Shankar’s fame at a pan-India level, while failure might put his career at risk. Similarly, for producer Dil Raju, this game-changer is crucial to recover from past losses incurred under the 'Family Star' banner.

Exclusive: The Top Telugu Movie Flops That Had Audiences Leaving Before the Interval in Recent Times.
Tollywood has released countless films throughout its history. Naturally, not all of these films achieve blockbuster status. Audience responses can be mixed—while some movies become hits, others do not fare as well. The films we're going to discuss next, however, were particularly flops. Reports indicate that audiences walked out of the theaters before these movies even reached the halfway mark. Let's take a look at these films.
[toc]
Extra Ordinary Man
From the day of its release, the recent film featuring Nithiin and Sreeleela , 'Extra Ordinary Man', encountered heavy criticism and trolling on social media. Critics admitted struggling to watch it even until the interval. Viewers were puzzled by the protagonist's actions, which seemed entirely controlled by the villain. 'Extra Ordinary Man' quickly became one of the most trolled films in Nithiin's career.
Shaakuntalam
'Shaakuntalam', starring Samantha, arrived with high expectations, being her first venture into mythological cinema, and the promotional content had amplified these anticipations. However, the reception took a downturn after its release. Critics believed Samantha was not well-suited for the role of Shaakuntala, and pointed out issues with the dubbing. Online commenters also noted that the film was difficult to watch even through the first half.
Radhe Shyam
'Radhe Shyam', featuring Prabhas and Pooja Hegde, fell short of audience expectations. Although Prabhas's dashing vintage appearance had raised hopes, the film's blend of astrology and romance failed to connect with viewers. Social media was a buzz with comments from fans who felt bored within the first hour and many reported leaving the theater at the interval.
World Famous Lover
The film 'World Famous Lover', featuring Vijay Deverakonda with heroines Raashii Khanna, Aishwarya Rajesh, Catherine, and Izabelle, began facing trolls from its release. Critics targeted the movie for its focus solely on romance, lacking a substantial plot. Some netizens harshly commented that Vijay might be better suited for adult films. Social media posts reflected anticipation for the interval, with viewers eager to exit the theater.
Brahmotsavam
'Brahmotsavam' is often cited as a significant disappointment in Mahesh Babu's career, leaving a lasting mark, as per his fans. Despite featuring a star-studded ensemble including Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha, and Pranitha, along with Satyaraj, Jayasudha, Revathi, Tulasi, and Rao Ramesh, the film did not engage audiences. Trolling started from the very first showing on its release day, with even Mahesh Babu's own fans admitting they walked out halfway through the movie.
Son Of India
'Son Of India', featuring the veteran actor Manchu Mohan Babu, encountered significant negativity even before its release. Notably, only two tickets were sold for the first show on opening day at one theater, an incident that quickly went viral on social media, with speculations that even those tickets might have been purchased by the Manchu family themselves. The few who did watch the film gave it negative reviews, resulting in its rapid withdrawal from theaters. It is considered the biggest disaster in Mohan Babu's career.
Vinaya Vidheya Rama
'Vinaya Vidheya Rama', a film by Ram Charan and director Boyapati Srinu, faced widespread criticism from its first showing. People took to social media to label the film as extremely poor and expressed eagerness for the interval so they could leave. Audiences found certain scenes, like Ram Charan standing on a moving train to Bihar or him beheading the villain's henchmen and carrying their heads, hard to accept.
Liger
'Liger', another disaster in Vijay Deverakonda's career, was directed by Puri Jagannadh and released on a Pan-India scale, only to receive a flop response. Interest in the film faded within the first hour of its release, leading to a flood of posts on the internet. Critics questioned why Vijay put so much effort into a role that ultimately did not seem to fit him well.
Sakthi
When you think of disasters in Telugu cinema, 'Sakthi' is often the first film that comes to mind. Its director, Meher Ramesh, is still playfully criticized by NTR fans. Viewers questioned how Tarak (NTR ) agreed to the script after just the first show. Criticisms also targeted the flashback scenes, noting that Tarak's look was completely unsuitable. The same director's film 'Shadow' with Venkatesh also ended up as a disaster. Interestingly, 'Shakthi' was still being mentioned during the release of Meher Ramesh's recent film 'Bhola Shankar'.
Saleem
'Saleem', featuring Manchu Vishnu and Ileana D'Cruz, stands out as one of the notable failures in Telugu cinema. Manchu Vishnu notably slimmed down for his role in the film. Critics remarked that the movie appeared to be a jumble of four to five different film scripts combined. Comments indicated that the film turned dull before even reaching the midpoint of the first part.
