Kuku sacred games tv#
Heroes don't get hurt in Hindi feature films and TV shows. The depiction of a hero who isn't invincible. Yet they are not treated with respect, but are in fact, expected to conceal their identity. Sacred Games, however, not only shows transgenders in their natural form but also highlights how people treat their 'exoticism' as a 'lucky charm'. Till date, mainstream cinema has shied away from depicting transgenders in any role other than the one that society has cast them into (as hijras). Representation of transgenders grounded in reality. But Sacred Games gets that right as well. And that is just one of the many things that make the show so believable.īollywood has often refrained from showing people from the lower strata indulge in raw, passionate, and romantic sex. Unlike Bollywood, where sex scenes are highly romanticized or exploitative towards women, Sacred Games shows sex in a natural and practical way. But in Indian shows, we have a naagin but hardly any natural depiction of sex. We're used to foreign movies and shows showing nudity, along with scenes where the characters indulge in sex naturally. The depiction of nudity in a natural light which is not overtly sexualized. If you think CBFC would have allowed such a reference to religion, remember that they made the writers of Phillauri change the scene where Suraj Sharma as Kanan is reciting Hanuman Chalisa and Anushka's ghost does not run away. ('Do you believe in God? God doesn't give a fuck.') The scene is accompanied by a voice-over by Nawazuddin where he asks, " Bhagwan mein bharosa karte ho? Bhagwan ko lund farak nai padta". Something that the CBFC, that still refuses to show the uncut version of many English movies, would definitely not have agreed to. That graphic moment describes the tone of the series. He lands with his skull smashed wide open, right in front of a group of school girls. Graphic imagery and explicit dialogues.Ī dog, who looks exactly like Bollywood's favorite pet Tuffy, is thrown from a high-story Mumbai building. Here are 10 moments from the show that prove that CBFC would have never let it see the light of day, even with an A rating. Gruesome graphics, non-obscure references to India's murky political history and a clear indication of how religion is used as a tool to further communal tension in India - all this and more proves that, whether they may desire to or not, Bollywood will never be able to pull off a bold narrative like the one Netflix uses with Sacred Games. Netflix's Sacred Games expertly breaks the barriers of conventional cinema and it is the medium of expression that allows it to do so.
