So if you are a person who loves to see raw violence, reality to the dot, the darkest grey shade of Mumbai, then this pick is right for you.
Nobody other than Nawasuddin Siddique can do this. I swear!
It was based on a novel which goes with the same name written by Vikram Chandra.
The depth of the story, intricate detailing of the characters
makes us watch every other episode continuously. You will definitely
need some time to rethink, to digest the episode which you would have
watched that time as each shot is intense and needs lots of analysis to
understand the raw extract of Mafia and gang-war.
If you just use your mobile and listen to the audio or stare your
laptop once in a while when the episodes are playing, all you would see
is boobs, butts, and
blood.
Nudity is throughout the series. IF you can handle it, watch it. If not, I would say NO.
Where to start?
We would have seen Saif Ali Khan underplaying in all his movies. Even in this series, he has no scenes where he could prove that he is good in emoting but his subtility will take him places because the role needs subtleness, not expressions.
Ganesh
Gaitonde (Nawasuddin) is a criminal overlord who dies in the first
episode after giving a clue about his next attack in Mumbai to Sartaj
Singh (Saif). Sartaj is a police officer who is loyal to his job. His
loyalty is giving him troubles. A constable travel along with him to
discover what really the cataclysm is about.
This is how it starts and travels gradually and makes us photograph every single frame.
Every city has a dark side and Bombay’s low hill was said in a strategic way.
The layering of characters especially Radhika Apte who acts as a
RAW officer did perfect justness to her role. Kubra Sait as Kuku did a
remarkable job.

All
the episode names have to be googled to know what it is really about.
They have a glance at our historical epics and that is what the entire
story is about. How religion is connected to our deeds, how we were
taught and how we act as an adult. Every question was asked by Gaitonde
and he gives us an answer too. We have to decide whether we need to
accept or not.
It resembles NARCOS -An American series which was set and filmed
in Colombia is also about the saga of a gangster. The structure of the
series was built by keeping Gaitonde in the base which makes us love
NAwasuddin as an actor and hate him as he really lived as Gaitonde.
We may love and read history again if we understand what is the message behind every dialogue in this series.
If this series reach more people, we may get many Indian Netflix original series of this standard.
Thank you Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane for this great series and we are eagerly waiting for Season 2.
