A Netflix series, Sacred Games, which is an adaptation of a book by Vikram Chandra of the same title. Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane directed the first season last year. It became the most successful and powerful web series of India till now. And in the midnight, when the fans are keeping their eyes open, Netflix released the second season last night at twelve!
Directed by Anurag Kashyap and Niraj Ghayvan, this is a continuation from the story left at the end of season one. Where Sartaj Singh finds out Trivedi and other things related to Nuclear Bomb in the underground room. While we were yet to see how was the third father of Ganesh Gaitonde, who made it possible for Gaitonde to escape from the jail. 14 days are left to the D-Day! And this season comes to the end at the beginning of the season one's first episode. Just like a full circle!
I believe, Sartaj Singh is Saif Ali Khan's most lovable character. Also, this is his best performance so far. Surveen Chawla as Jojo performed very well. She is amazing throughout the season. I was waiting to see what Pankaj Tripathi would bring to the table of the most lovable web series as a badman. He is good. But does not fascinate me much, as I was expecting! Other supportive cast, including Kalki and Ranveer Shoery are nice in their parts. But, I missed Katekar and Kookoo!
Nawazuddin in this season is like a soda bottle. First four episodes keep Gaitonde under pressure, so he erupts like bubbles from fifth episode. His performance, as well as the making, is fantastic after he takes a pill of Gochi at Ashram. I very much like the psychological parts in last episodes. And how can I not mention about the best thing of this series, which is background score!
However, I felt the ending was not like an Anurag Kashyap movie ending. It reminded me the climax of Agent Vinod! Though, this season is not like the first one, where nudity and comedy were going parallel. Here, the Sacred part of this Sacred Games are mainly captured. It may be possible that too much of sacred-ness will bring complexities to some. I saw many posting about watching Sacred Games s2 at 12, but very few continued binge watching. As the subject is bit complex.
On the whole, be prepared for getting lost in the sacred world of Guruji, third father of Gaitonde. And do support Sartaj Singh in the mission of saving Mumbai! Well, I must say, don't get closer to him, don't be his friend, otherwise he doesn't get affected, but you... hehe... 'Aham Brahmasmi'!
