Sacred Games (2018)

Sacred Games is a tense, character-driven crime thriller set in the heart of Mumbai. When troubled police officer Sartaj Singh takes an anonymous call from fugitive gangster Ganesh Gaitonde—who warns that the city has 25 days until catastrophe—he is drawn into a sprawling investigation that peels back both men’s pasts. The series interweaves a present-day cat‑and‑mouse chase with rich, often brutal flashbacks that trace Gaitonde’s rise to power and expose corruption, politics, espionage and moral decay beneath India’s economic boom. Expect gritty action, sharp political and social commentary, philosophical monologues, and a slow-burning mystery that rewards close attention. Viewers will experience a dark, layered drama: suspenseful set pieces and violent confrontations balanced by complex characters, moral ambiguity, and emotional intensity—best suited for audiences ready for mature themes and a story that unfolds across time.
