Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) is a troubled policeman surviving on sleeping pills who is stuck at a lower rank as a “low-performing officer” due to his honesty. His life turns upside down when he receives an anonymous call from Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), an infamous underworld gangster who is missing for over 16 years now.
The gangster kingpin urges Singh to save Mumbai, which is destined to be doomed within 25 days. Sartaj is helped by a Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) officer Anjali Mathur (Radhika Apte) during the journey. The rest of the season is interspersed with present-day frantic and flashbacks of Gaitonde’s journey from a poverty-stricken childhood to being a crime lord.
Sacred Games is the first Indian original created by Netflix, based on Vikram Chandra’s 2006 novel of the same title. It is also the only Indian series to appear on The New York Time’s “The 30 Best International TV Shows of the Decade" list.
