#Sacred game series series

Since this is a Netflix show, each episode ends with a cliffhanger, almost to a point of being predictable. Sartaj Singh in season 2 in more confident and clued in. The next 4 episodes will bring us closer to how Gaitonde and Guru ji form a relationship, how he was ultimately betrayed by his ' teesra baap', what role Shahid Khan and Batya have to play in this mess, and whether Sartaj will be able to stop the nuclear blast. Gaitonde is typically dismissive of him, ' India uske baap ka hai kya?'В he tells KD Yadav but as we dive deeper into the series, it becomes clear that Khan is the face of modern terrorism in the series. Shahid Khan has no scenes in the first 3 episodes, but he is alluded to often, as the one to 'blow up India'. She heads operations since Guru ji is dead in the current timeline. Sartaj meets Batya in the ashram, where he pretends to be a divorcee looking for peace. He follows many leads, which brings him face-to-face with several revelations - including a Mumbai-based terrorist organisationВ making maps of India without Kashmir (!), Guru ji's (Pankaj Tripathi) ashram, whereВ is introduced to a mysteriously druggy red-coloured tea (this tea is at the centre of Guruji's illegal operations, for which he uses Gaitonde's help in the 90s) and clues about the impending nuclear blast.ДЄpart from Guruji (suspiciously Osho-like but creepier) and KD Yadav, we are introduced to two new characters of prominence:В Batya Abelman (Kalki Koechlin) and Shahid Khan (Ranvir Shorey). Majid and Parulkar are not happy about it, but it brings in some much-needed confidence for Sartaj. Meanwhile, Sartaj is rewarded forВ his near-fatal discoveriesВ 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.

Before you can laugh at a dialogue or marvel the visual brilliance of a scene, the show reels you back in toВ looming threat of nuclear terrorism: a fictional premise of the show, but also, a terrifying mirror?ДЄlso read on Firstpost: With Sacred Games season 2, I am a part of a series that I'm also dying to see, says Ranvir ShoreyДЎ1 episodes in, Sacred GamesВ is more relevant to global socio-cultural politics than even Leila, which found popularity for holding a mirror to the Indian society of today.

ItsВ social, thematicВ 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).
