So I watched like the last 2-3 episodes of Madhubala and yes, I am also having all these Sultan feels! <3

Firstly, I love Avi's portrayal of Sultan. He's the strong-silent types --in a literal way. He doesn't say a peep but yet gives of soo many unwanted vibes and shrills down my spine.

Do I like him? Yes.

Do I love him? Eh...getting there?

Do I want more of him in the show? Yes.

I don't know, Sultan makes me feel weird in a good way. I mean, I was watching his 2nd epi in this show and all I could think of was that he was the type of guy who knows what he wants and how to get what he wants --without saying a word. If he wants you to die, he'll kill you and not gloat about it. If he wants you to stay protected and safe, he'll do so without hearing anything that you have to say.

I think Sultan is a man who fell prey to the circumstances around him. I don't think he was a 'bhai' from the start. I think he turned into a bhai after the death of his wife. Who knows? Maybe him shooting everyone in sight is the way he takes revenge for his wife's death? On a side note, did his wife die?

And his son. I feel like he loves his son but he's cold towards him --well maybe b/c he is a bhai and as shown, 'bhai's cannot love' or maybe the last person whom he was close to was his wife. And when she passed away and left him with a son, he felt that if he loved his son like he loved his wife, he'll break into pieces if something happened to him.

Sultan is broken. Broken as can be. He is strong on the outside but he's like hard metal on the inside --terrible fragile. He's scared to love --in my thoughts only because he knows from past experience that love can cause pain --and that's one of the reasons why he dislikes Madhu? Because he knows that attachment and love can only lead to heartbreak, weakness and disappointment?

Who knows?

Love you for this.. for I feel exactly the same about him. There's something so stark yet tender in him, ..just like the harsh contradiction between the cold lonesome darkness that surrounded him , and his sons warm laughter from a distance, his sole focus.

I like him so very much.. and enough cannot be said about how AR is portraying him. Actually its him who has made him so freaking good. A character needs to be unraveled slowly for the viewers to connect, but this guy , he made a tremendous impression from the start.

The dark, pain in him, the detachment ,shows in his eyes. Hes so different from people like his own son, like Madhu.. they belong to a different world. its like he sees it all, from the outside..

Even I cant describe the pull for him.

Only one place where I would differ from you a bit is that, for now, he doesn't know Madhu, doesn't care. So there isn't a dislike towards her. She's just an outsider, like any other. (which may change soon , given now he trusts her enough to let her go without a blindfold on.)

I m liking Sultan so far. He's the reason I m back on the show, as it is making it more interesting. I just love the fact how he speaks less and let his gun talk 😆 . well waiting for his character to unfold as the plot proceeds.

Sultan's character is the Strong and the Silent type. That era of the strong and silent type has gone. I like this character. His words whatever they are, they leave an impact. I am glad the CV's created this character as the strong, silent type because AR plays it so well.

Most of the time time his eyes say it all. He has very expressive eyes just like DD. She also emotes well with her eyes.

I love RK's one liners and the way VD delivers them. That's why this show is going to be rocking in the coming months.

Good topic.

What attracts me towards Sultan's character is that he is completely opposite of RK and of course there can only be one RK in the show and that's the reason i have started liking Sultan's character..

RK loved to create Noise where Sultan loves to stay Mum and till now i love his No Non-Sense kind of attitude.. AR is doing a wonderful job

I agree. Sultan is a wounded lion. His silence says more than all the rantings of R.K. I personally like the new track and hope the writers do a little more justice to characters and do not go for a twist just for higher TRP's.
