'Fear Of Missing Out' - the curse of the millennial generation propelled me to watch Sacred Games after it's massive success. 'Gripping, engaging right from the Pilot episode, this is a Mystery that will keep you hooked. The script, the cinematography, the performances, the casting, the direction - there's nothing that you would not like - it's not exactly Cinema considering it's a series but it's one of Indian Cinema's finest works in the recent times. The only thing that bothers me about such content that despite it's niche nature, it blatantly objectifies women. In the world of 'Sacred Games' the woman is supposed to fulfill mostly two roles - have sex or motivate the guy so he can have better sex with her. In addition, God forbid if you're one of those feminist types, chances are you might get triggered, screw up and end up dead because women have absolutely no 'good luck' whatsoever unlike the luck that men in the same situation are blessed with. On the other hand, the script is a good refresher in political history and religious commentary for Millennials most of whom were about to be conceived, either just born or were less than ten years old when events of massive influence plagued our nation. The parallels drawn and the saying-it-all-without-actually-saying-it was a treat to watch. In fact, there's literally a jaw dropping moment when the 'Salman-Katrina' relationship reference hits you. Looking at the treatment of the story - the strong symbolism, the layers of 'new age' metaphors and the story telling - all fit in perfect harmony. It's not like the former overshadow the latter, it actually adds another fresh layer to an already intriguing tale provided you can decode it. It's a great watch provided you can bear through profanity and some nudity. Will be tuning in to season 2 to see what happens to 'Teesra Baap'.
