Sultan of Delhi

Its an excellent rivetting drama series. The action is good but maybe too violent....also some of the intimate scenes are too strong...but overall its an impactful show, with a lot of twists and turns in the story. The friendship between the two heroes is nicely done...their action comedy and fun moments are very nice. I didnt like the way their friendship ended but....maybe the story needed it.....Also i thought they will have a love triangle with Mouni Roy but it didnt happen. Overall, i liked the costumes, set, camerawork....very nice to see 1960's style and people having fun and a good life. Its a different feeling compared to watching the same typical gangster dramas set in Mumbai with so much abuses, blood etc. Mouni Roy is very good but i wish she had a bigger role....maybe in next season.....i liked her dance sequence a lot.....the actor playing the villain is very good looking and did a good job of playing the spoilt rich brat. Very entertaining.

Characters casting was accurately plotting the story. The Main role about Tahir (Arjun Bhatia) was good enough till the last 5mins remaining of last episode, the character plays the vital role which can be seen previously while Arjun and Bengali's first meet with MouniRoy! They showed the results at last.

But the conclusion was not up to the mark which should be there, it just got more like waste time when a Bengeli ki killed by Arjun.. It's was quite good till they had challenges in between expanding there emperor..

The Sidhoori character was nicely played, tactics was good, even the riddles are nice in between the episodes!

It should have better ending as it was aspects to end.

When you watch this series, you're hooked. It starts with Partition and promises to be a tale of grit and survival. For most parts, till the penultimate episode, it succeeds.

In the last episode, it implodes.

It's one thing to have a character or story twist to shock the viewers. It's another thing to bring a twist that doesn't appear to have any rhyme or reason. When the ending shows the characters appearing in a manner completely different to what they were supposed to do and when there's no build up to that, one ends up feeling disappointed. That time has been completely wasted.

That is what happens in this series. And by the way, the Sultan of Delhi isn't seen to be bossing Delhi at all. Nobody in contemporary Delhi even seems to know that they have a Sultan and this is what he's like.

Weird.

Had the ending been logical, this would have been a. Great series instead of what it turned out to be.

The 3 stars are a net result of stars for the previous episodes less the stars taken away for the last episode.

The screenplay adapted from the book of the same name while starting of strong, lacked plot and emotional depth The characters are well defined and have acted well. The dialogues had their moments. But there were many places where the character decisions didn't make much sense and that made me loose touch with the story.

The protagonist is shown as a very brave and confident fellow. In one scene he braves going to the fifth round in russian roullette which tended more towards stupidity than bravery, just like many of his other actions.

Overall a good watch which could have been dont much better.

Was looking forward for an interesting series but turned out to be a poorly directed, poorly acted on. Story was still good could have been much much better than this. Surprisingly some of the brilliant actors were also not giving upto the mark. Only thing was started this at a time when could not decide to watch anything else, and had to watch it till end. Otherwise it feels in the middle to just Chuck it. It's not needed everytime to have big stars for a wonderful show but the direction takes it to the next level, whcih was missing in this show. Hope they do better in the next one. I could just say if you don't have anything else to watch go for it.
