Razia Sultan

The series was good but the poor acting was atrocious.

The first couple of episodes were pretty cheesy, If you push past it and the slow dialogue then follow the main character Razia and her antagonist, they both seem to grow on you and with the series and get incredible in their acting skills. The poor budget/graphics and action sequences might turn some people off but the acting of the leads evolved and elicited real emotion. Their chemistry is unbelievable. By the end of the season 1 it's a nail biter. I can't wait to watch season 2!

This is a historical drama set in 1300's Delhi. It has the typical court intrigue you can expect from "Game of Thrones" type series. I found the dialogue and acting exciting and the costumes and sets gorgeous - if not a little fairy tale like. The best part is this compelling story keeps you interested without the fake sex and gratuitous violence so common in Hollywood. I'm assuming this is because this is not a Hollywood production - it's Bollywood. Charming, innocent yet a lot of history packed in to a short episode. There is some cheesiness - the slow motion shots, the courtesan behavior...but overall you will be delighted at the novelty that exposes the awful stuff that American's are subject to in comparison.

It seems that when you enjoyed the history from books and encyclopedias, this show will be toxic to your eyes. Plus, unreasonable decisions that the sultan made were annoying, but this is a nature of this Indian studio.

We found this show to be captivating from the beginning to the end of Part 1. Unfortunately, I cannot find Part 2 in the US, if any of you knows how to watch it, please post on the community.

The acting is fantastic, the music captivating, the costumes ....well just out of a fairy tail, the intrigues are numerous, abundant and varied! this show will keep you on your "toes" until the end and it is packed with a lot of historical details, all very interesting to know.

The show, like so many Bollywood productions has also a deeper meaning and so many powerful but well covered emotional and spiritual messages. It is so refreshing to watch a show which has some violence and sensuality but which refrains from "clashing them" at your face. We can't wait to have the second part available. If you are in Netflix, please make sure you fill a title request for the second part so we can all enjoy it.
