'There are two types of teachers - learned and wannabe,' says Guruji.The first season of Sacred Games left a bunch of questions hanging. He begins by revealing a truth about teachers on Teachers' day. The video begins with Guruji in his Sacred Games attire, standing behind a podium titled 'Gopalmath Shiksha Kendra' with a 'Mandal' in his background. Sacred Games' Guruji's pearls of wisdom on Teachers' day.
Makers of Sacred Games 2 are said to be inspired from life of controversial spiritual guru Osho. Sacred Games 2: Pankaj Tripathi's Role Of Guruji Inspired From Rajneesh Osho. Proceed with caution beyond this. It gave us prominent characters – such as Guruji (Pankaj Tripathi), Trivedi (Chittaranjan Tripathy), JoJo (Surveen Chawla) – but withheld crucial information about them, inviting us to connect the dots.The second season of Sacred Games 2 has messed with our minds almost as much as Gochi messed with all those who came to Guruji’s (Pankaj Tripathi) ashram. The foreshadowing and clues, sprinkled throughout the season, were clever.
Sacred Games Guruji Crack The Case
Ganesh Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) has a religious epiphany whilst.To begin with, it severely lacks the urgency, the wicked humour and the heartfelt bonds that made the first season so captivating. Season 2, directed by Anurag Kashyap and Neeraj Ghaywan, markedly differs from its prequel.Who is Guruji in Sacred Games on Netflix Guruji (played by Pankaj Tripathi) is a TV priest but also has a sinister backstory. The other track involves Sartaj, who has 25 days to crack the case – one that, if not solved, can wipe out Mumbai. It opens in 1994, when Gaitonde is locked up on a boat in a sea far from Mumbai. Amruta Patel.Season 2 picks up those loose threads and attempts to bind them. Published on Jul 25 2019, 13:14:46.
But the main problem with this season is that it suffers from a debilitating been-there-seen-that condition. It tracks 23 years of Gaitonde’s life – from 1994 to 2017, where he finally meets Guruji, understands Trivedi, deflects the demands of RAW agent Yadav Madam (Amruta Subhash) – and Sartaj keeps unravelling the different clues, inching closer to solve the case. Did the makers lose interest? Did they lose thematic material to mine? The second season feels so detached from its centre that it struggles to evoke intellectual curiosity.There’s much to unpack here, though, at a narrative level. The plot, as before, is tightly wound and demands close attention, but there’s so little happening between the lines, that you wonder what happened.
Apart from, of course, the fact that it is incredibly ‘talk-ey’. It’s this sense of regurgitation – of makers just doing a functional, borderline-competent job – that really hurts this season. But even his portion – especially one centred on religious discrimination – feels too generic, too flattened out, to feel for him.Ditto the portion centred on Guruji’s commune, which, if you’ve followed Osho’s story or seen the Netflix documentary Wild Wild Country (2018), does not speak to you in new, remarkable ways.


Khan, who was impressive in the first season, is quite forgettable here.Only one performance stands out, and that’s Amruta Subhash’s. Unfortunately, the others are worse – especially Chawla and Kalki Koechlin. But the lack of effort here – failing to find new ways to inhabit a familiar role or diction – is distinctly evident. This was perhaps a roadblock inherent to the series’ casting – they were presumably chosen to play these parts because they do them so well.
