Not sure if that is the meaning of it, that Nawazuddin lives on after death, or if there is some other meaning to the title. The title comes from the name of a fighter in the Mahabharata whose death was reported falsely and he went on to lead the army to victory. Nawazuddin’s story covers his childhood watching his Brahmin father beg and his mother sleep with men for money, then arriving in Bombay and working in a Hindus only hotel before becoming a drug dealer. Saif puts a trace on the signal and keeps pushing for information, finally finding Nawazuddin’s hide out and breaking in, just in time to see Nawazuddin shoot himself. In the middle of all this, he gets a phone call from Nawazuddin Siddiqui who claims to have information for him, and to be calling him because he knew Saif’s father. He is struggling with whether or not to lie to an inquiry board about a shooting. He’s not depressed and has no great tragedy in his life, he is just kind of a loser, overweight and with a marriage that failed. Saif is introduced as a bored struggling police officer.

But I know people are watching along and I don’t want them to risk spoiling others, plus it’s nice to break the discussion down a little sometimes. On to episode 7.I already did my massive SPOILERS and NO SPOILERS reviews, you can use those to discuss the show as a whole. It was nice to have an episode end on a such a positive note with Sartaj and Anjali’s breakthroughs. It took six episodes but we finally are seeing her presence revealed to the series’ major player in Sartaj. One complaint I’ve consistently had, and wrote about here, is how Zoya is so far removed from the main plot despite having a tie to Gaitonde. With only two episodes left in the season, we are in for quite the exposition regarding these two plot threads. We’re also unaware of how Gaitonde knew Sartaj’s father, though we at least we’re reminded when Sartaj lightly interrogated his mother about it. However, we are on day 17 and we still remain in the dark about Gaitonde’s plan and what happens on day 25.

She and a colleague figure out who killed the man in the hospital way back in episode 3 and how the unknown assailant ties to Gaitonde.įor the previous 2 or so episodes the plot has stalled slightly, not to any detriment of quality as delving further into the characters is always a plus, but here things go full forward in the present day plot, particularly at the end. Lastly, we’re only blessed with a small amount of Anjali but it’s a very significant moment. With this the audience is shown a manipulative side of her personality, making the character much more interesting. Speaking of Zoya, we last saw her giving herself a black eye and alerting Palukar, subtly, that it was her boyfriend likely high on cocaine. He quickly realizes that he had seen her picture before as someone associated with Gaitonde. Shortly after Patekar’s death, Sartaj goes through his wallet in memory and comes across a picture of his favorite actress, Zoya. Sartaj and his fellow officers end up shooting all involved with no hesitation, guilty or not. However, while investigating a routine theft, possibly related to the son’s murder, Patekar himself ends up killed by one of the thieves. He tortures a lead in the case in order to relieve his anger, and then “feels like a real cop” again. Enraged and disappointed in himself, he seeks to find the party responsible for the murder. Patekar, who took on a missing persons case for a young man’s mother, solves the case after the young man was murdered. In the present, Sartaj is back on the police force following his perjury about the young man who was killed. Taking back control, Gaitonde has regained his confidence and earned his wife’s respect and approval in the murder. Gaitonde kills the traitor and his brother (despite promising that he would forgive the brother) for good measure. The mole cites Bunty’s presence and religion as the reason for his betrayal. With the help of then-officer Palukar, Gaitonde has a tape of his rival Isa’s niece’s wedding and discovers one of his own men at said wedding, making him the mole for Gaitonde’s gang. Now married, he finds himself impotent and has lost all confidence and control. In the past Gaitonde is at his absolute lowest following the deaths of both Kuku and Paritosh in such a short period of time. In episode 6 of Sacred Games, “Pretakalpa,” the parallel lives of Gaitonde and Sartaj become more similar to each other than ever before.
