In my opinion Neeraj Kabi, Jatin Sarna and Nawazuddin are the backbone of the series. Radhika Apte has a quite short but impressive role. The whole cast did a great job, while we saw Saif Ali Khan in a good role after Omkara and Being Cyrus. I maybe am a bit biased towards Anurag Kashyap or Phantom productions in general. Sacred Games Review: Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Saif Ali Khans Show Totally. Sacred Games is just an example of what Anurag Kashyap is capable of. Get all the latest news and updates on Netflix Sacred-Games only on. Though Saif Ali Khan does justice to the role through his penetrating and raw performance, the character feels weak. If you're a person who gets offended very easily then I advise you to keep yourself away form it. While Sacred Games hits all the right notes and sets the bar quite high for future web and television series, it lacks one crucial element, a strong protagonist in Sartaj Singh. It was the first one with a native touch, needless to say, it was praised by the audiences for its uncensored and raw style of storytelling.
This series starts with bold statements on religion, and then continues with same on political figures like Rajiv Gandhi to a lot of cuss words, violence and drug use. Spoiler-free (Obviously) THE BACKGROUND Sacred Games was not just another Netflix series. The story may be a bit more grim than what India is known for, yet the series. The plot follows the lives of two men as they run parallel to each other in the dark recesses of underground crime. They kept an open ending in S02 also but I hope they better come with a killer script else.įirst 30 seconds in the first episode and you'll get to know that this series is going to be dark, edgy and controversial. The Netflix original series Sacred Games is a different Indian series, standing out for a gritty story-line brimming with harsh language & violence. The more they digged into other characters, more cartoonish they looked except Zoya, Malcolm and Jojo's character. Guruji's character doesn't have the potential that we expected. They just made the Gaitonde's character a mere joke. Well, jokes apart, S02 was not as bad but S01 actually raised the bar so high that matching upto that level was never going to be easy. The second season was a bigger disappointment than what I'm to my parents. This is first Indian netflix original series directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwani.
