Netflix's docuseries 'The Romantics' garnered a lot of positive responses from viewers as well as critics. The director of the popular docuseries, Smirti Mundhra feels that the one reason why people loved the show was the YRF's head-honcho Aditya Chopra's appearance on camera after so many years.
The series which was released in February this year and still winning the hearts of the viewers, showcased the legacy of one of the greatest filmmakers, Yash Chopra, his production house YRF and its cultural impact on India and Indians for the past 50 years.
While speaking about the success of 'Romantics' Mundra said, "The reaction to 'The Romantics' has been overwhelming and thrilling. I think the success of the series proves that nostalgia for movies is strong and that we as a society are still in love with cinema. I think the combination of star power, nostalgic pull, and of course, the must-see factor of Aditya Chopra's first-ever interview catapulted 'The Romantics' to this feat."
