Sultan of Delhi

Started seeing based on review , but the initial fight scene with Heavy guns and to a place which is in deserts with not a single piece of active life , I don't know why they wanted to deliver guns there, shows the dumbness of director.

Acting wise yes they have done good job but the direction screen play and some old school Dabaang 1 copy paste kinda action and dialogues doesn't work now. I personally do not like the choice of leading actor as gangster, I don't think it suits his personality.

Music is all right , they tried to show some intimate scene and hotness , so as to add all the criteria to make this a happening series but FAILED.

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.

Fantastic direction of the movie. The pace is quite good. Acting is highly appreciable. This series albeit being close to be one big hit fails to meet the expectations. It successfully portrays the contemporary society of 21st century. Amidst fire works, the chemistry of bangali and arjun should have been celebrated. The catharsis destroys the human conscience. Arjun becomes sultan and then stoops down to be very cheap. High on dialogues but low on action. Arjun's character remained beautiful until he is supported by Bangali. Some dark truths bring dismay, mistrust and hopelessness. Sultan rises to stoop down is unacceptable. Overall stands superfluous, unrealistic. The end is disappointing offcourse and would not recommend this only because of the failure to send a good message to society.

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.

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.
