#Sacred games series movie

To start off, the TV show falls clearly into one category- that is a thriller. Since we will be discussing the show and the movie, be prepared to come across spoilers! So read at your own risk. However, when viewed in absolute terms it is brilliant, but when viewed as an adaptation of the book, it fails on many levels. In the very first scene, a dog falls out of the window, dying in a splatter of blood amidst a bunch of school girls, his blood forming the shape of a barking dog, a shadow of itself, and you know the show is going to be a brilliant production. Sacred Games, the Netflix TV show, based on the same novel, is also a thrilling treat. You understand each character and feel disgust and empathy, in equal measure, for many of them. You form an equation with them and are heart-broken as Chandra mercilessly murders some of them. You get to know the characters little-by-little as random facts and details are revealed to you. Each word, each paragraph, excites your senses and leaves you wondering whatвЂ™s next. The book is a homage to the city of Mumbai, when it was still Bombay вЂ“ a city that is thrilling, dangerous, romantic, one where rich and poor are dependent on each other while sharing an equal measure of love and hate for each other. As the story slowly unravels you realise that Vikram Chandra has created a layered masterpiece, where each character is unique and complex, and any one of them could very much be part of your own life. The novel, Sacred Games,В is a 900 page-long, thrilling read.
