As a movie, I would rate it very highly. It delivered on all counts. I was moved to tears. But the biggest blow came later when I opened the internet to read about the case and found that it was all a piece of fiction! I mean whattt!!!???!? Whyy!!?!!?? Why make a historically inaccurate movie and name it 'untold story' to mislead public? It was a total let down to know that the emotions which the movie instilled in me were actually all fictional. I feel duped and scammed. This is not done.

Rewatched this after many years and as an adult now, I realise how problematic the movie actually is. Why cannot a movie show positive aspects to a girl wanting to chase her dream of being a soccer player without bringing down other feminine traits as worthless? The sheer ire ad ridicule handed out to make up and dress up (for a debutante ball) compared to the glory given to playing soccer will go a long way in shaping young girls' minds as to things which are considered 'cool' and. Which are considered 'cringe'. Secondly, the handling of secondary characters in the show, specially the female characters was horribly executed. Monique and the girl with braces were just caricatures, meant to portray a stereotype just so you can poke fun and laugh at them. Thirdly and most importantly, the storyline with the main character deceiving everyone for the whole movie and did not even receive a comeuppance! She lied through her teeth to Duke while posing as a guy, in order to push him towards Viola, where it was clear that he had feeling for Olivia. Actually, throughout the movie, it was never apparent that Duke ever cared about his roommate (Viola pretending to be guy). The storyline was just pathetic with how he just accepted in the end that this girl has a thing for him so he supposedly just goes along with it too. I cannot believe the movie was literally regarded as a feminist movie when it was released.

After season 1 I would have rated it a 4, after season 2, probably a 3, but now after season 3, even 2 stars seem to be a generosity. Queen Charlotte was a one off solid prequel and I loved it. The pleasing aesthetics of the 1st season is what was most appealing to me initially. Who doesn't like to watch pretty people wearing pretty clothes, having a gala time and most importantly, super hot chemistry between beautiful people. This continued with season 2, however, things started feeling slightly more repetitive, thus drawing your attention more towards facts like historical inaccuracies of a racially integrated society in the times at which the story is based- a clear pandering to the woke culture. The 3rd season is especially lack-lustre in terms of its romance and chemistry while making it conspicuously obvious of the deliberate choice of inclusivity of concepts of body positivity and differently abled people, while not addressing how such issues actually play out in real life. Penelope is a great character and I have no hate towards her, however, to be honest, her persona is just not attractive enough for a "steamy" romance. That is not to say that a steamy romance is the only kind of romance which deserves attention, however, the story doesn't play out her romance story any differently from those of Daphne or Kate who are both arguably so much more attractive to watch on screen. They should have played her story to her individualistic strengths, instead of trying to force a situation of insane sexy attraction towards her, which sorry to say, to be honest, wasn't believable enough. It is highly unfortunate that this woke culture of abnormal inclusivity is slowly depriving all fiction of any basis of reality.

I can't believe how great this drama was! The ability of the screenplay and the actors to bring forth a story so wholesome that you never even consider the gender of the actors concerned, it shows what people often fail to see-love is truly simply an emotion. And I for one, was swept away by it in this drama. Must watch.

Watched such a wholesome drama after a very long time. Couldn't help binging it. A really simple storyline but very heartfelt screenplay. Amazing job by the whole team.

Very wrong messaging. Divya and Arjun's story should have never had that conclusion especially when Arjun did not even have the courtesy to apologise for his atrocious behaviour towards his wife even once. Why show divorce in such a negative light and glorify living with an abusive partner making all the adjustments that too only being made by the women! It is a dangerous message to be sending out to young girls and completely unacceptable in this day and age.
