This is how you begin a series! Let's admit it. The current state of Indian television is just devastating- from non-sense soap operas that will make you cringe- television is nothing but melodrama.
Leave it to Anurag Kashyap to revive the same. "Sacred Games" has been hyped so much around the Internet that it raises the question- is it really that good? Indeed it is. Well directed and superbly edited, this series will hook you from the very first scene itself- the way it clashes between past and present is amazing again.
But the biggest treat here are its actors especially Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Saif Ali Khan. Siddiqui is the kind of actor whose presence is enough to have you hooked- even his voice gives you the goosebumps. While the sharp writing is definitely to be credited for it, it is ultimately Siddiqui's dedicated work that makes this series work. Saif Ali Khan is also great and the way he goes around throwing abuses will surely make you laugh and raise your eyebrows at the same. Glad to see him in something different rather than stupid comedies like Humshaakals.
Overall- it is an amazing show that will hold your attention right away! Watch it!
