The Romantics is a 2023 documentary series, created by Smriti Mundhra and Michael T Vollmann. The four-part series explores the impact of Yash Chopra, his son Aditya Chopra, and their company Yash Raj Films on Hindi Cinema.
Suchin Mehrotra of Hindustan Times in his review stated "The Romantics works best when it uses the YRF filmography merely as a stepping-off point to discuss Hindi cinema as a whole. The show comes to us at a time when it feels like filmmakers are looking back and celebrating what was." A reviewer for Indian Express stated "ItâÂÂs all rah-rah, hardly any nose-digs, but then you donâÂÂt really expect any in a series like this, about the biggest, most storied production house in Hindi cinema." Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India rated the first season 4 stars out of 5 and remarked "The Romantics is a treat to watch if you love Hindi cinema and Yash Chopra, which are pretty much synonymous." Shubham Kulkarni from Koimoi rated 4/5 and wrote "The Romantics is an ode to the man who defined Hindi cinema for decades and even died with his directorâÂÂs hat on."
