Majid and Parulkar are not happy about it, but it brings in some much-needed confidence for Sartaj.
Meanwhile, Sartaj is rewarded for his near-fatal discoveries from the first season by the higher ups in the police force, and is asked to lead the case. Pankaj Tripathi plays the creepy Guruji in Sacred Games. From being a cat-and-mouse chase between Sartaj Singh and Ganesh Gaitonde (the two main characters of the first season) and the definitive story of the growth of Mumbai, the show has now elevated to a scary thriller that reminds you how strangely close to home fiction can be.
#SACRED GAMES STORY SERIES#
Before you can laugh at a dialogue or marvel the visual brilliance of a scene, the show reels you back in to looming threat of nuclear terrorism: a fictional premise of the show, but also, a terrifying mirror?Īlso read on Firstpost: With Sacred Games season 2, I am a part of a series that I'm also dying to see, says Ranvir Shoreyġ1 episodes in, Sacred Games is more relevant to global socio-cultural politics than even Leila, which found popularity for holding a mirror to the Indian society of today.
Its social, thematic and political relevance smacks you in the face even harder than the ground-breaking first season, adding notches of psychological trauma (caused by the multiple deaths in season 1), communal upheaval and repercussions of war, with a sprinkling of humour, new characters to root for and just the right amount of fun your moral conscience will allow. Sure, it has all the trappings, but Sacred Gamesseason 2 is so much more. There can be no bigger crime than reducing Netflix's Sacred Games, based on Vikram Chandra's 1000 page book, to a gangster drama (it is not Indian Narcos).
