I<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\nn the first episode of the second season of <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i><\/a>, Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) lays down the doctrine of human evolution. \u201cAsli dharam insaan ko batata hai ki aage kya hai. Insaan se apun next kya banega, kidhar jayega. Croron saal ka yeh chutiya khel,\u201d he says while voicing over a scene of Sartaj (Saif Ali Khan) and Majid (Aamir Bashir) uncovering a piece of evidence that marks the entry of militant Islamism in Mumbai. Though they are three decades apart, the lives of both Gaitonde and Sartaj remain inescapably enmeshed in the rafters of faith and religion. Rather grimly, neither can estimate the enormity of the shadow it casts on reality. In Season 2, <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i> belatedly begins to articulate its core ideas and conflicts. But by that time it does, a kind of fatigue from Gaitonde\u2019s endless blabbering and Sartaj\u2019s clueless mug has resolutely set in. The result is a season that flounders and sinks through a hole in the ice, before it can walk to the glacial revelations it has been building towards for two seasons.<\/span>\n\nThe second season of <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i> begins exactly where the first ended: Gaitonde, rescued from prison, finds himself in international waters in the hold of his mystic saviour, the godman Guruji (<\/span>Pankaj Tripathi<\/span><\/a>). Sartaj, on shore and a couple of decades in the future, is slowly coming closer to decoding the gangster\u2019s last warning \u2013 an imminent attack on Mumbai that has now taken religious and nuclear dimensions. Like the first season, <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i> jumps back and forth in time throughout its second season, trying to tie Gaitonde\u2019s mobster story to Sartaj\u2019s race against time to save the city of Mumbai. Thankfully, the new season picks up the pace, especially with Sartaj\u2019s arc that has now become a ticking thriller. Yet, both timelines, though poignant, feel dissimilar, not just because they are helmed by two directors (Neeraj Ghaywan and Anurag Kashyap; Vikramaditya Motwane is credited as an Executive Producer) but because they are written with a different tenor. Sartaj\u2019s world remains humourless, perched on melancholia, while Gaitonde\u2019s is more self-aware and chic.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n\"sacred-games_S2\"\n\n

\n

More often than not, the show burdens its narrative by tying itself in knots and subsequently trips over its convoluted digressions and subplots.<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n\u00a0<\/span>When Gaitonde realises that he is in Kenya and has to plot his resurgence, he is counselled by Guruji, the headliner addition to <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i>. To the delight of most, the introduction of this character adds a stellar actor to the show. But to the annoyance of many, it also adds yet another character in the show who, like Gaitonde, deals mostly in exposition. His terrible wig notwithstanding, Tripathi plays Guruji with his signature calmness, bringing a creepy stiffness of the body \u2013 his Gurji has the kind of wide-eyed gaze that would make most people uncomfortable. <\/span>Kalki Koechlin<\/span><\/a> \u2013 another induction to the show\u2019s universe \u2013 plays an unremarkable, probably troubled, urban aide of Guruji, a role so familiar and clich\u00e9d in her repertoire that she, at one point even gets to say \u201cI was born a conflict\u201d. Rewardingly, <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i> elevates the criminally underrated Aamir Bashir to prominence in the beautifully layered, yet understated role of policeman Majid Khan in its new season.<\/span>\n\nYet, the biggest takeaway of this season remains the fact that <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i> is intriguing and baffling at the same time. The second season insidiously sprawls. At times, there is no differentiating between intent or accident, quality or scale. The new season rather charmingly dotes back to old characters, like Katekar and manages to pull humour out of the downbeat Bunty, who momentarily becomes a lyricist. In a scene, an actress holds a placard protesting against <\/span>rape<\/span><\/a> in India, all for the purpose of some cheap social media clout. The pulse, when <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i> wishes to, can bend to its will.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nBut on the other hand, <\/span>Sacred Games<\/span><\/i> can often thwart its own potential. It frustrates in its insistence to complicate Gaitonde beyond reach, to build him into this goliath of conflicting philosophies. A genuinely sinister sequence of Guruji, spiritually coaching <\/span>Gaitonde<\/span><\/a> in his ashram\u2019s yard feels both engrossing and forced. For the umpteenth time, Gaitonde is shown overthrowing a Kenyan drug-lord, by the single-fold, masterful plan that involves the gangster walking up to him and shooting him in the face. Surely, there can be more to the genius of Gaitonde that <\/span>Sacred Game<\/span><\/i>s has painstakingly built.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n

Even though the second season of Sacred Games is unquestionably better than the first but it drags and postures more than it probably needed to.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nThere are then some genuinely baffling inconsistencies in the writing. In an episode when a junior officer tells Sartaj that a colony became a <\/span>Muslim<\/span><\/a> ghetto after the 1993 Bombay riots he asks, rather naively, \u201cIdhar kyun?\u201d. \u201cKyunki aur kidhar jagah nahi chori\u201d, Majid disquietingly interjects. Four episodes later, Sartaaj schools an Islamophobe in the history of Islam. Sartaj\u2019s ex-wife Megha randomly pops in and out of the show\u2019s world. Gaitonde\u2019s biggest enemy, Isa (Saurabh Sachdeva) remains an ever-present yet undefined accessory. Most detours of Gaitonde\u2019s life seem excessively fleshed, done for the sake of the spectacle, not the story, leading to a dull initial few episodes.<\/span>\n\nEven though the second season of <\/span>Sacred Games <\/span><\/i>is unquestionably better than the first but it drags and postures more than it probably needed to. It has a visible Gaitonde problem, a gospel it has built and now can\u2019t shake; a hole the show pre-emptively dug to deposit its intellect and which now feels like a <\/span>grave<\/span><\/a>. In fact, the second season becomes sharper, only midway, when it sheds the deadweight of Gaitonde\u2019s imprecise journey. More often than not, the show burdens its narrative by tying itself in knots and subsequently trips over its convoluted digressions and subplots. It gets its act together as a last-ditch necessity rather than design, and ends with teasing another season.\u00a0<\/span>\n\nI couldn\u2019t help but wonder if too much time has already passed waiting for this show to become imperious rather than merely sophisticated. \u201cBal nahi balidan dena hoga\u201d (You will have to offer a sacrifice and not strength\u201d) Guruji tells Gaitonde at one point. If only the show could internalise the dictum, and <\/span>sacrifice<\/span><\/a> the prosthetic indulgences to become sleek, clean and deservedly redeemable.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
