Yet, despite a limited screen space, the creators did not relegate Jojo to just being 'Gaitonde's friend'. Obviously, as the story moves to a particular climax, there is only so much screen space that all characters can be afforded. Jojo (Surveen Chawla) was introduced in Season 1 but her story was explored in season 2. Similarly, women were key players in season 2 as well. Simply put, they were more than just 'props' in the plot. Rather, they each had an intrinsic role to play and helped take the story forward. Source: Indian Express Even characters who had a considerably smaller role - Anjali Mathur (Radhika Apte), Shalini Katekar (Neha Shitole), Zoya (Elnaaz Norouzi) - were not just brushed aside with stereotypical traits. More importantly, as viewers, we saw them as characters who had individual traits, separate desires, and different viewpoints - thus, making them much more than just a 'part' of Gaitonde's life. In a world where Gaitonde relied more on guns than people, these women became a part of his inner circle not just because they were his partners. She offered him a fresh perspective on things (like why people rely on religion), called him out when he behaved abysmally, and supported him when required.

She was his partner, in every sense of the word, despite the skewed world they inhabited. Similarly, Subhadra was never just Gaitonde's wife. She was never unaware of the way the world viewed her - rather she chose to use it to her own advantage, and become someone people coveted. It was the way she made a place for herself, in a world where women are still treated as second class citizens.

'Kukoo ka jaadu'В wasn't just limited to her supposed luck. They may fall under the category of Gaitonde's love interests, but they were crafted as so much more than that. She was an independent force before Gaitonde came into her life - and she may have worked with Gaitonde (and even taught him to make illegal alcohol), but never depended on him for her survival.Д«ut the two women Season 1 really belonged to were Ganesh's love interests - Kukoo (Kubbra Sait) and Subhadra (Rajshri Deshpande). She helped Ganesh rise as ' Gopalmath ka naya baap', and was never scared of him. Right from the start, as Season 1 took us to Gaitonde's story, we were introduced to Kanta Bai (Shalini Vatsa). Characters who don't feel unidimensional, or appear simply as an 'arm candy'. And yet, in a world predominately dominated by men - at least, under the fictional lens - Sacred Games seamlessly embroiled female characters. Source: India Today It's a world of cops, mobsters, terrorists, corrupt politicians, and intelligence agents. The two are connected by a not-so-random phone call and an unexpected past connection - and it all comes together because of their mutual desire to save 'their city', Mumbai.

The central subject of the series is the parallel drawn between Sartaj Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Ganesh Gaitonde's (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) life stories. Source: Mashable However, the one thing the series nailed across the two seasons is the development and depiction of its female characters. Undoubtedly one of Netflix's most explosive Hindi original series, the second season of Sacred Games opened to conflicting reviewsВ while introducing the public to yet more sinister players and confusing plotlines.
