Season 1 is gripping, the bloodshed is irksome but overall the show is engaging. It's important that the creators focus their attention on some of the less discussed characters - Salim's 2nd and 3rd wives. The chief consort cannot be more important than the wives. Dharmendra ji, Naseeruddin Shah, Sandhya Mridul, and Aashim Gulati keep the viewers emotionally invested with their good performances. The dialogues need more improvisation and dialogue delivery, characterisation and presentation of Salim needs more depth. With the death of Akhbar, the creators have a lot of work to do regarding the viewers' engagement perspective. Screenplay and dialogues are key requirements.
