Many shows were well regarded by the
audience, making 2024 a fantastic year for OTT platforms. With 30.8 million people, Mirzapur Season 3 was the most watched, while
panchayat Season 3 came in second with 28.2 million. Although these programs tasted of success, "Citadel: Honey Bunny" was not as fortunate and did not place in the top 5. Shows like
indian Police Force (19.5 million viewers) and Call Me Bae (13.6 million viewers) outranked it in the rankings, and the entire scenario ended up being a humiliating experience for its creators.
Although
priyanka Chopra's
hollywood adaptation was a complete failure and a major loss for
amazon Prime Video, Samantha's
indian adaptation fell short of expectations as well. The
audience did not consider it a "big hit" at all, even though it had a far less budget and received good reviews.
A lot of others on
social media also came forward to comment on the same thing. "With all the hype, Honey
bunny couldn't break into the rankings," one person said. Because they emotionally engage the
audience, shows like Mirzapur are popular. Another commented, "Honey
bunny lacked the storytelling depth of a top-ranking series—it's not about the budget or star power." The instance of "Citadel: Honey Bunny" frequently highlights the reality that, regardless of franchise, content that fails to connect with the public has very little chance of succeeding.
