The Royals, a new romantic series by Netflix, appears to promise all things delightful-love, royalty, and ambition. Ishaan Khatter plays the charming Maharaja while Bhumi Pednekar the determined CEO; this series would surely set a grand stage for an interesting love story wrapped in grandeur and modernity. Just the right glimpse of what could be an engaging rom-com from the teaser.

Storyline

Against the royal palaces and corporate commotion, it is in this backdrop that the teaser introduces us to Aviraj Singh, Ishaan Khatter as the privileged, charming Maharaja of Morpur. His world collides with that of Sophia Shekhar, Bhumi Pednekar, the fiercely independent and self-made CEO of a startup called Work Potato. And to say that sparks fly from the very first meeting would be an understatement. Often from conflict and sometimes from undeniable chemistry. Aviraj reflects traditional regal charm; then there's Sophia- a gritty, ambitious young entrepreneur. And there's going to be such a perfect opponents-to-lovers story, full of crackling banter and tender romance.

Positives Points

The promo boasts stunning cinematography accompanied by some visually impressive visuals regarding palaces and coastlines, besides some luxurious locations. Ishaan Khatter looks very easy in the regalia of kings; however, Bhumi Pednekar looks the very image of a confident, capable woman. The light-hearted banter and the palpable chemistry between the lead pair suggest a riveting romantic narrative. The blend of tradition and modernity brings a new spin to love stories with royalty.

Negative Points

The 'enemies-to-lovers' arc is something of a familiar trope and could get predictable if not done innovatively. Fewer supporting characters were showcased in the teaser, making it unclear if the series would have great subplots.

General Impression

The Royals teaser promises a fun and visually spectacular rom-com with royal elegance juxtaposed with modern ambition. The series, led by Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar, seems poised to deliver all the drama, romance, and witty dialogues. If it can offer new twists beyond the familiar premise, it may well become a favourite among viewers-royal or otherwise.
