Secret Billionaire Review: Love finds you at the strangest of places. February is the month of romance, and Filmibeat is back with a new recommendation, a micro-drama to binge-watch with your beloved. As vertical dramas are ruling the roost and keeping the viewers engaged, we thought of recommending TukTuki’s Secret Billionaire.
Secret Billionaire Story At A Glance
Secret Billionaire follows Riya, a young woman drowning in debt while working at a modest coffeehouse. A ruthless local figure targets the café, pushing Riya towards financial ruin. He forces her to marry him, or else face the consequences. There’s another twist in the tale.
Riya has to return the amount that her father took from a local goon, along with the interest. The goon shows no mercy and targets her, even slapping her on the road.
Outside a nearby temple sits Aryan, a quiet beggar who attracts little attention from passers-by. Unknown to everyone, Aryan is actually a young billionaire living under cover. An oath to remain a beggar until a sick grandmother recovers binds Aryan.
As threats against the coffee house escalate, Aryan steps forward to shield Riya, without revealing his identity. Aryan relies on courage, insight and faith, not money, to confront the villain. Secret Billionaire frames their bond as a tale of love over wealth, as Aryan continues to help Riya when a local goon and her stalker corner her, creating a tense situation.
What We Liked About Secret Billionaire?
Imagine falling with love with someone at a temple! While we do fall for the external beauty, how seldom does one falls for kindness, compassion and empathy? Will you consider a relationship with a beggar? It’s the central premise of Secret Billionaire that catches my attention.
The 31-episode series keeps you engaged till the last minute, as the duration per episode is less than 2 minutes. This means you can complete the vertical drama in one go.
While the title gives away the twist that Aryan is a secret billionaire, it is his charm that takes away the brownie points. His dedication towards his grandmother is the highlight while Riya-Aryan’s chemistry steals the limelight.
What We Didn’t Like About Secret Billionaire?
While the lead actors displayed chemistry, the supporting actors are a big disappointment. They fail to complement those two leads, who anchor the series throughout. A few scenes could have been easily chopped off. The editing needs to be crisper as the attention span of the audience has been reduced, so the makers need to focus on the same.
Things become predictable, which can shoo away the audience. This is where the creative team should focus on brainstorming.
Overall, Secret Billionaire easily deserves a rating of 3 out of 5. The tadka of love, empathy and sacrifice over money makes this series worth a binge.
The micro-drama is available for streaming on TukTuki app.
