This series shines with its well-paced storytelling and complex character development. It avoids categorizing characters as clear heroes or villains, offering nuanced portrayals. However, the series shifts between timelines and generations, depicting the protagonist's life journey, which can be somewhat disorienting. The show partially captures the 1960s aesthetics, with the conventional TMDs- taali maar dialogues. Tahir Raj Bhasin's transformation as Arjun Bhatia is remarkable, while AnjummShharma embodies the essence of a loyal friend. Vinay Pathak's Jagan Seth strikes a perfect balance between empathy and cruelty. Nishant Dahiya impresses as the antagonist, and AnupriyaGoenka's Shankari Devi steals the spotlight. Mouni Roy exudes glamour, and MehreenPirzada and Harleen Sethi add simplicity to the love interests. In conclusion, Sultan of Delhi skillfully adapts Amab Ray's book, offering an engaging series that captures the drama of Delhi's history. While it has elements of pulp and pop culture, it does justice to the source material, making it a compelling choice for historical crime drama enthusiasts.
