The recent Netflix binging audience that has cropped up in India has long been quenching their thrust with imported series like Narcos, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, etc. Finally, with Sacred Games, we have a dark, Gritty, Noir Genre tale with the Desi Tadka.

It's going to entice the Indian audience with a different, more realistic and darker treatment to an Indian Subject, at the same time it has a lot to offer to the global audience and put Indian cinema across the globe.

The things I loved about the series:

1. The ensemble cast - Right from the protagonist to antagonist the team has hit the right chord in the casting. While Nawaz, Saif, and Radhika did as expected, I was highly impressed with the supporting cast of Bunty, Parulkar, Zoya, Malcolm, Bhonsale to name a few. Every single person has played their role with a Gusto.

2. The direction - Well, it's directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane without the curse of Censor board.

3. Production Value - The series has a much better look than most of the movies produced in India, Netflix has really upped the game.

4. Music - The background score, it's one of the nuances which adds a lot of impacts but may not be very visible watching it for the first time.

I ended up watching this series twice over the weekend and can't stop gushing over it. People may be appalled by the language, but then it's a noir genre series showcasing the dirty belly of the Mumbai, and with the audience, they are targeting with the series, it should not be a problem.

I was very much impressed with Saif, who was excellent as determined but Vulnerable police officers, he finally gets the scope to flex his muscle as an actor, and he does not disappoint.

Hope this Serial open up avenues for other Indian filmmakers to finally make cinema that suits the 21st century. The creativity has long been gobbled up with number crunching at the weekend, and serving crappy cinema. Finally, Netflix has freed them from the shackles.
