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.

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.

Outstanding Performances and Exceptional Storytelling. One of the key reasons I really liked Sultan of Delhi and don't mind giving it a high rating are the performances. The actors have really given it their all.....Tahir Raj Bhasin's portrayl of Arjun Bhatia is the centre piece of this show.... It immediately draws you in, keeping you on the edge of your seat with its brilliance. Even the child actor playing Arjun in the first episode has the right amount of innocence, angst and intensity. This seems to be a Milan Luthria hallmark - where actors like Ajay Devgn and Vidya Balan too have delivered career best performances with him at the helm. Even the actor playing Bangali keeps you on your toes with unpredictable touches.... shining brightly in every scene. Anupriya Goenka as Shankari is badass.....its a no hold barred performance. The storytelling is brilliant, characterized by its unflinching brutality, humor, and daring narrative. It takes a unique approach that doesn't hold back, providing an eye-opening exploration of both modern and historic facets of India that may be unfamiliar to many. The performances are outstanding, and the production quality is top-notch.

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.

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.
