Dino Morea is such an underrated actor! Loved his comic timing in the show. The way he's embraced his real-life personality for the role makes it so authentic. More power to him! 👏 Can't wait for season 2!

The show's concept is interesting but I feel Dino's character is over-the-top at times. Our royal families have more dignity than this portrayal. However, his energy is infectious and Zeenat Aman's presence adds class.

As someone from Rajasthan, I appreciate how they've tried to blend royal traditions with modern aspirations. Dino's character brings the much-needed masala to the show! His chemistry with the entire cast is fab.

Watched the whole series in one sitting! Dino's performance was the highlight for me. After so many intense roles, it's refreshing to see him in a comic avatar. The scene where he dances with Nora Fatehi was paisa vasool!

The show is entertaining but I wish they'd focused more on the royal family's actual struggles rather than making it so comedy-heavy. That said, Dino seems to be having the time of his life and it shows in his performance!
