It looks at the rampant poverty that drives young men towards the criminal underworld and the corruption among the politicians and police which forces people to depend upon a greater presence that no one has ever seen – God.Ī great comment in the show is made by Ganesh Gaitonde (played superbly by Nawazuddin Siddiqui) – “Hindu hotel se apun seekha ki dharam ke naam pe janta ka kitna chutiya banaya ja sakta hai.” (I learned working at the Hindu Hotel, that in the name of religion how you can fuck with people’s minds and make a fool of them). It focuses on India’s diverse society and the simmering mistrust and hostility between Hindus and Muslims within the society. The show delves into several aspects of the Indian society that most foreigners would not even understand from a first glance. Also explored is how Gaitonde was deployed in Kenya by Kusum Devi Yadav – a RAW officer who tries to keep Gaitonde’s archenemy Suleiman Isa alive so she can capture and kill Shahid Khan, a dangerous extremist who turns out to be Sartaj’s cousin and harbors a plan (with the ashram) to wipe out India.īased on the overview alone, the show doesn’t seem to be warranting a view – but you couldn’t be more wrong. Gaitonde’s meeting with Khanna Guruji, how he became part of the ashram, and his activities with them are depicted in flashbacks. Sartaj discovers an ashram to which his father once belonged, and learns about their apocalyptic plans to create a new, conflict-free world. In season two, Gaitonde’s story continues in flashbacks while Sartaj tries to find answers. The first season follows Sartaj as he tries to uncover clues about Gaitonde’s past and learns about a connection between Gaitonde and his father. On his journey, Sartaj is helped by Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) officer Anjali Mathur flashbacks detail Gaitonde’s origins, and how he became Mumbai’s crime lord. He tells Sartaj to save the city in 25 days, beginning a chain of events that burrows deep into India’s underworld. He receives a phone call from Ganesh Gaitonde, a notorious crime lord who has been missing for 16 years. Season 1 begins with Sartaj Singh who is a troubled Mumbai Police inspector who seeks validation from a police force he hates for its corruption and is in the midst of a separation from his wife. The show’s overview is simple and if you read just that, you’d think Sacred Games is nothing special.

Sacred Games is India’s first Netflix original series and in my opinion, it comes close to retaining an “Indian flavor” while competing with some of the best original TV series globally.

However, Sacred Games not only manages to entertain, it brings out a new dimension to Indian Television Shows, which were usually dominated by soap operas of women in sarees getting abused by their mother-in-laws or sappy family oriented dramas which hardly has any relevance to modern society. Having read the book I was looking forward to the seeing the show and was not disappointed, which is mostly the case when Movies or Shows are based on books as most of the book’s flavor is lost adapting it to the screen. Sacred Games is an Indian Hindi language crime thriller that is based upon Vikram Chandra’s 2006 book of the same name.
