Citadel: Honey Bunny's script oscillates between scenes. It alternates between 1992 and 2000, two distinct time periods.
In 1992, Rahi Gambhir, also known as Bunny (Varun Dhawan), works as a stuntman for feature films, while Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) is a failing performer. Bunny offers Honey a position on their special operations squad as she is unable to pay her debts. Her first task is to obtain a black piece of electrical equipment from a man named David. Because she is broke, Honey is unaware of the risks associated with the profession she has entered or whether she is on the correct side of things.
In 2000, Honey resides in a hill town with her daughter Nadia (played by Kashvi Majmundar). She teaches her daughter everything she can to keep her safe in the event of danger because she is aware of the dangers associated with her work as an undercover agent. She no longer resides with Bunny. His home base is in Bucharest. To keep their kid safe, Honey and Bunny must get back together.
What took place that caused Honey and Bunny to part ways? Why are 1992 and 2000 so important in the Citadel universe? Do the two reunite and are they successful in saving their daughter?
Citadel Honey Binny - What Works and What Not?
Citadel: Honey Bunny features amazing camera work and captivating action. The long-shot action sequences are so expertly filmed and coordinated that they occasionally surpass even international standards. The background music has a captivating quality. Old songs that have been remixed give the action scenes more spice. One could argue that the action scenes we see on screen are akin to a symphony in motion.
Throughout the show, there are a few oddball moments that repeatedly reassure you that you are watching a Raj & DK performance. The kid actor Kashvi Majmundar, who portrays little Nadia, is the best of the lot, but all the actors perform well with what they given. You can always count on an amazing scenario when she's on screen.
Citadel: Honey Bunny doesn't have the excitement and fury that a program in this genre needs. It's not a particularly compelling story. A lot of what happens in the program is not very convincing, and there are holes in the plot. The cliches of an espionage-thriller show are present. Citadel's back-and-forth screenplay is too erratic, and it's unclear why the two stories are first told in simultaneously. Additionally, there are instances where it's difficult to tell if a series is in the past or the present because the years are not very different. Citadel performs admirably as an outstanding actioner.
Varun Dhawan does a good job as Rahi Gambhir. Over the course of the six episodes, he stays in good contact. He does his antics really skilfully. It's amazing to see Samantha Ruth Prabhu as honey. She does action stunts like a pro and has a charming on-screen persona. Among the actors, Kashvi Majmundar's portrayal of Nadia is the best. She infuses Citadel's world with much-needed tenderness and simplicity. One truly looks forward to the scenes with her since she is a breath of fresh air.
