O Sultão de 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.

1. Terrible screenplay

• the story jumps randomly from one sub plot to another, from one timeline to another. Felt like we were in a multiverse.

• some characters are randomly given importance without establishing their purpose or motive eg: who is shankari devi, why does she exist, why is she so annoying were all questions left unanswered

2. Worst casting ever

• ranked in order from worst to best (don't know all the actors' names so will alternate between the actor and the character)
• shankari devi (complete misfit as the mistress)
• taher raj bhasin (bad mustache, bad haircut, not enough gravitas for the role). He is much much better than this and should stay away from such roles.

• bangali - terrible casting, bad hairstyle
• vinay Pathak - wasted in the wrong role
• Arjun's wife - poor casting, bad acting
• sanjana - HAS to go to an acting school

3. Outdated dialogues, terrible direction

• Milan Lutharia ji - this is not 2005 and this is not a single screen movie. Please adapt or you won't be relevant any more.

• the background score was the same as once upon a time in mumbai - at least try to make something new/different
• the dialogues were from the 80s with common recurrence of absolutely obsolete and overused statements from jeetendra movies.

Very disappointed with the execution. Expected better from Milan - as he is the OG of this genre. He could learn a thing or two from the creators of Bombay meri Jaan.

Anyone who have a lot of time to waste and a good internet connection along with Disney hot star subscription Go for it man this is the key.

Accidentally I started watching it with my wife and constantly it was giving me a hint to stop it but as I was having some free time to binge I decided to go for the last stage of this web series and concluded that the writer was not paid and asked to write the story under gunpoint or else I don't find any reason that it could be this worst I had given this as 10 rating just to ensure that human kind must feel the trauma that I am going through right now only those intellectuals who will read this before watching will be able to escape or else they will definitely read it afterwards HA HA HA.

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.
