The much-talked-about Netflix docu-series The Romantics, which is a tribute to the legacy of Yash Chopra & YRF and their cultural impact on India and Indians for the past 50 years, was released on Feb 14 to unanimous acclaim and love.
The national over-pouring of love for Yash Chopra and YRF was evident as The Romantics became the Number 1 trending title on Netflix within 48 hours of its drop, a rare feat for a documentary! Now, Netflix has announced today that the fabled docu-series is in the Top 10 trending content pieces in 9 countries, including Bahrain, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Mauritius, Pakistan, Qatar, Sri Lanka & UAE!
For a docu-series to rule the roost in so many global countries is an incredible feat and shows how audiences wanted to know about the legacy of Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra & YRF!
Smriti Mundhra, Director of the docu-series 'The Romantics' says "The hope was definitely that the series will tap into their sense of nostalgia. Remind people, why they love movies and just revisit not only some of the classic movies that have shaped our lives but also tell the stories behind those films through the lens of Yash Chopra who is one of our most beloved filmmakers, and the legacy he left behind. So ya, it has been incredible to see the reaction. I cannot say that I expected it to be this intense and this amazing but I am very very pleased."
