Netflix's docu-series The Romantics, without a doubt, released on the day of love and here's what the Bollywood fanatics had to say about the show!
The Romantics, directed by Oscar and Emmy nominated filmmaker, Smrithi Mundra, digs deep into the birth and journey of Yash Raj Films and how the genius father son duo, Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra created such a huge empire in the Hindi film industry and gave a new definition to the genre of romance. The four episode docu-series interviews more than 35 icons from Bollywood which includes Rishi Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, Anil Kapoor, Shahrukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, and Amitabh Bachchan, to name a few, who give a perspective on 50 years of cinematic history.
Most of the Janta believes this was the best Valentine’s Day plan they could’ve asked for. To be able to sit at home and binge-watch a series about how their favourite romantic movies were made struck a chord with many. They became super nostalgic while watching the show and missed the old school love they showed in the movies. But without a doubt the highlight of the web-series was finally getting to see an exclusive interview of Aditya Chopra. The man behind Yash Raj Films today, explains how he has been working hard since he was a kid, how he still goes to the theatres every Friday to understand what the audience likes and dislikes. Getting to see what goes on in his mind was intriguing for many. The Romantics was a heartwarming and emotional journey for all the ‘romantics’ who watched the series.

the romantics on netflix is pure nostalgia. it shows inner workings of bollywood through yrf, of course glorified, but makes you feel the jitters and genuinely makes you appreciate and miss the old bollywood and the 2000s bollywood. it’s a fascinating watch

Netflix’s The Romantics is fantastic. More importantly, the way they talked about film during the intro of episode 1 is THE REASON why I’ve always been such a hopeless romantic my entire life. Bollywood never led me astray. It led me to my own love story. @netflixgolden @netflix

Aditya Chopra is not a myth, he is a reality and i absolutely loved his interview in this 4 part documentary.
If you loooove Bollywood, don't miss this series on Netflix.
watching the romantics on netflix and maaaaaan it’s just reminding me of WHY I (and our generation) loved bollywood SO much 🥹♥️

I am watching the Romantics docuseries on Netflix and I am still confused that Shah Rukh Khan was an action star and bad guy before DDLJ. Everything I saw with the dude when I started watching Indian cinema was romantic lead.

I love historical documentaries but never found any good documentaries on India until now. The Romantics on @netflix just hits the right spot. An incredible watch, especially if you love Hindi cinema!

The #Romantics on #Netflix is a sad reminder that we have stopped making good love stories in this country.

watching the romantics on netflix and seeing how sridevi should've been in it is so heartbreaking

I just binged all of The Romantics on Netflix which is a documentary looking into the impact of Yash and Aditya Chopra on Hindi cinema and it made my heart so happy. The grand opulence and pure romance of Indian films just can’t be beaten and they are the best at it. pic.twitter.com/ezz2CShI6r

I hum songs under my breath, I don’t even know how I remember these songs??
Watching “The Romantics” on Netflix has me having many thoughts
‘The Romantics’ on Netflix is making me so emotional 🥹
— PratPanc (@PratPanc) February 14, 2023
I remember watching Lamhe, Chandni, DDLJ etc. on a small green videocon TV all through the 90s ♥️😂
Bollywood, in its present state, is so full of shit! 🤮
Watched The Romantics on Netflix and wow the DDLJ episode really struck a chord. We desis will always seek our parents’ validation and it’s not the weakness one might think it is even if it means fighting for love.

I’m enjoying The Romantics but so far it seems to be one of Netflix’s made for fans style documentaries (like the one on BlackPink or the Harry and Meghan one) - it’s very much Bollywood’s view of itself with very little critical evaluation of its grand claims.
— Sarayu Pani (@sarayupani) February 14, 2023
I’m watching “The Romantics” on Netflix and as the poster child for Bollywood fanatic, I am so fascinated. In case you like films AT ALL please watch it because you’ll remember what Bollywood is supposed to be and not the hell hole it is today. I love it so much.
