Citadel: Honey Bunny – Talwar

/ / Television Reviews
  • Title: Citadel: Honey Bunny – Talwar
  • IMDb: link

The second episode of Citadel: Honey Bunny overs three threads. We get Honey (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) finding her daughter Nadia (Kashvi Majmundar), which turns out to take less time than expected (and provide more context to the rules Honey has set up with her daughter in case of such emergencies), and relocating to a safe house with more pursuers on her trail. We see Bunny (Varun Dhawan) reconnect with his old friend Chacko (Shivankit Singh Parihar) and make a run on one of the enemy’s bases coming up empty on the attack. And, in the past, we see Honey begin her training as a spy against the reservations of the misogynistic Guru (Kay Kay Menon) despite her obvious talent for the work and her relationship with Bunny turning romantic.
