'Gaitonde' Nawazuddin Siddiqui's new role & mystery to solve: Major questions raised in 'Sacred Games 2' first episode
Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Ganesh Gaitonde leads a completely new life in the first episode of 'Sacred Games 2'
The much-awaited Sacred Games 2 has aired. We managed to catch the first episode of the Netflix original, and to say the least, it is a change we hate to love seeing. While Saif Ali Khan as Sartaj Singh is still going out and doing his duty, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Gaitonde is a completely new character!
The first episode of Sacred Games 2 keeps the focus mainly on Ganesh Gaitonde aka Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Like he says, he turned into a monkey in the episode (which meant he went from ruling over Mumbai to being nothing within split of some seconds). The episode also introduces us to new characters, who, of course play pivotal role. It also takes us back to the lives of old characters and their purpose in the story.
Gaitonde has a new challenge ahead of him, and even though he leads a new life in the first episode, his lifestyle and way of speaking definitely hasn't changed. That, for sure, is set to amuse you like it did in the whole season of Sacred Games.
Here are some of the moments which gave us major shock in the first episode:
P.S.: Major spoiler ahead
Aamir Bashir aka Inspector Majid Khan and Sartaj Singh, played by Saif Ali Khan, have just introduced us to some misison called Bibinka 623. Neither of them give us a clear hint but their search for a map, headed by Sartaj, turns out to be quite interesting.
Ok, although we know the purpose is to take Ganesh Gaitonde aka Nawazuddin Siddiqui away from Mumbai, why exactly would anybody do that to someone who only dreamt of ruling over the city?
The person Sartaj saw in the last episode of Sacred Games - Trivedi, is indeed dead. Who is Trivedi? What really happened? These questions remain unanswered.
In a glimpse, Sartaj, who has just visited the website of Gaitonde's third father, realizes that the year on the screen is 2015. Does this mean that Guruji is dead too? Has he been replaced by the character which Pankaj Tripathi is currently playing?
Elnaaz Norouzi's entry with #IAmHindustan placard to her last scene around Nawazuddin Siddiqui makes us wonder what exactly transpired between them? Oh, she almost dies in the first episode of Sacred Games 2, thanks to our truly, Malcolm.
Gaitonde transforms into a suited man and starts living a life in Sri Lanka. The mission is led by the new character introduced, Amruta Subhash aka RAW agent Kusum Devi Yadav. But what is her mission?
Ganesh Gaitonde turned into Vivan Shah as he went to Sri Lanka. The business gets dirtier and Gaitonde becomes more helpless. What really is the big plan?
It is quite eerie that Nawazuddin Siddiqui aka Ganesh Gaitonde and Surveen Chawla aka Jojo's conversation on death came to reality in the first episode of Sacred Games.
The Home Minister Bipin Bhosale, played by Girish Kulkarni, sits in Malcolm aka Luke Kenny's residence. In fact when the Home Minister asks for questions, Malcolm locks him up in the washroom, saying it is important for them to stay undercover. Is Malcolm protecting the Home Minister or himself really?
