The Royals is a 2025 Indian romantic comedy-drama streaming on Netflix. Created by Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy, it centers on Aviraaj Singh, a polo-playing prince, and Sophia Shekhar, a determined CEO. Their paths cross when Sophia pitches the idea of turning Aviraaj’s royal palace into a luxury resort—an opportunity that could save his struggling lineage.

Boasting a stellar ensemble cast including Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman, the show is a mix of opulence, romance, and family drama. It explores themes of tradition versus modernity, financial hardship, and concealed secrets. While praised for its lavish production, the show has faced criticism for its somewhat predictable storyline.

Despite mixed reactions, The Royals has drawn comparisons to Bridgerton and Schitt’s Creek, making it a stylish yet entertaining watch. The season wraps up with a dramatic cliffhanger, hinting at more intrigue to come. Whether it's indulgent escapism or an extravagant mess, the series offers a binge-worthy dose of glamour and drama.
