#CitadelHoneyBunny is actually a good series!!
Not over stretched, best decision to go for only 6 episodes, performances are decent, best is the child artist who plays Nadia. But yeah fun watch.. Definitely more interesting that the Original show. #VarunDhawan #SamanthaRuthPrabhu— Shourya Kumar Lal (@shouryakumarlal) November 7, 2024
