Citadel Honey Bunny Becomes Most Watched Show Worldwide On Prime In Launch Weekend

Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan are on cloud nine thanks to the reviews the Indian edition of 'Citadel' is receiving. 'Citadel: Honey Bunny' which premiered on Prime Video on November 6 has been receiving a lot of appreciation from all quarters. Not just domestically, the web series is doing quite well internationally. Recently, the platform claimed that Honey Bunny has become the most-watch series on the platform worldwide in its launch weekend. 

"Spies don't just crack codes—they break records!" Prime Video shared on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, celebrating the global success of Citadel: Honey Bunny as the "top series on Prime Video worldwide."

Samantha reshared the post on her Instagram stories with a caption that said, "#1 worldwide.” Varun also reposted it, writing, “I can’t believe it!!! We are actually the no1 show in the world. This was always the dream but now it’s a reality.”

Several well-wishers and friends and colleagues of Samantha and Varun shared the post and called them 'pan world stars'. Rahul Ravindran tagged Sam with, "Hello Miss World #1.” Janhvi Kapoor wrote, "What a riveting show! Taking the world by a storm. So happy all the hard works paid off with sooo much love.”

Citadel Honey Bunny

'Citadel: Honey Bunny' is the Indian edition of the global series 'Citadel' which first was released with Priyanka Chopra and Richard Madden in the US edition. The Hollywood version also produced by the Russo Brothers received a mixed response from audiences. The American version was followed by the Italian version titled Citadel: Diana.

'Citadel: Honey Bunny' may not be the best of Raj & DK but it gives some gravitas to the otherwise more-talk, less-show of the seriousness of independent spy agency Citadel's cause. And, this is best done with a relatable story, context and lead actors who nail it through guns, punches and chemistry that will set the Russo Brothers' franchise on the right track.

If the American Citadel was more tech and style-heavy, and Italian: a mature and performance-heavy version, the Indian version of 'Citadel' is an interesting mix of Hollywoodian action and desi drama, also deeply rooted in the changing dynamics of 90s Mumbai.
