Varun
and
Samantha’s
electric
chemistry
remains
the
highlight
amid
all
that
action,
making
for
a
trustworthy
team
that
will
not
disappoint,
says
Mayur
Sanap.
Guns,
bullets
and
high-voltage
drama,
Citadel:
Honey
Bunny
sparks
curiosity
and
excitement
with
its
sleek
trailer,
featuring
Varun
Dhawan
and
Samantha
in
the
no-holds-barred
action
mode.
Helmed
by
dynamic
duo
of
Raj
&
DK
of
The
Family
Man
and
Farzi
fame,
the
actioner
marks
the
India
extension
of
the
global
spy
franchise
that
kicked
off
last
year
with
Priyanka
Chopra
Jonas
and
Richard
Madden.
I
was
initially
put
off
by
thinking
this
will
be
a
reboot
or
sequel
to
the
original
series,
but
the
Honey
Bunny
trailer
emphasises
that
the
makers
are
going
after
ambitious
world-building
here.
In
an
interesting
Easter
egg
in
the
trailer,
Samantha’s
daughter
name
is
revealed
to
be
Nadia,
which
is
Priyanka
Chopra’s
name
in
the
American
counterpart
of
Citadel.
In
all
probability,
we
will
find
out
origins
of
Nadia’s
character
in
Citadel:
Honey
Bunny,
allowing
this
franchise
to
move
in
a
more
cohesive
direction
after
Citadel:
Diana.
Adding
to
the
excitement
is
Raj
&
DK’s
true-blue
humour
and
style
that
promises
to
be
a
complete
re-imagining
of
the
Citadel
concept
in
this
delicious
blend
of
spy
yarn,
love
story,
and
playful
action.
That’s
ultimate
popcorn
fodder!
The
trailer
introduces
us
to
Varun’s
stuntman
Bunny
and
Samantha
as
struggling
actor
Honey.
The
story
follows
their
journey
into
a
world
of
action
and
espionage
as
they
become
a
part
of
the
same
syndicate.
In
contrast
to
the
weaponry
and
technologies
of
the
original
Citadel,
Honey
Bunny
seems
to
be
a
two-character
play
embedded
into
emotionally-charged
storyline.
The
twist
occurs
when
Varun
and
Samantha’s
relationship
turns
sour
and
they
become
nemeses.
This
is
followed
by
action
galore
with
high-intensity
gunfights,
hand-to-hand
combat
and
car
chases
as
the
popular
track
Aaj
Ki
Raat
from
Don
lends
itself
to
groovy
background
music.
Varun
and
Samantha’s
electric
chemistry
remains
the
highlight
amid
all
that
action,
making
for
a
trustworthy
team
that
will
not
disappoint.
Hopes
are
up
for
this
one.
Citadel:
Honey
Bunny
will
stream
from
November
7
on
Amazon
Prime
Video.
