One fan praised the music and added, "music was so good in the royals and I am absolutely obsessed with this sequence, song choice uff my favourite Ishaan khatter."
"So bollywood is so fu€king lazy. Can't even make something good anymore. #TheRoyals seems like a bad khichdi of multiple western series. Wonder why stars like #SakshiTanwar and # ZeenatAmanji agreed to do this.," one of the comments read.
