Hello Guys, I would first of all like to tell you that the later part in the blog is wholly based on my observations while watching the series. I didn’t read or watched any thing about Sacred Games apart form the series, so if there exist any similar writings or theories by other people they are completely independent.

I became a big fan of Sacred Game the moment I came to know about it, because it stared Nawazuddin Siddiqui and is directed by Anurag Kashyap as I am a big time fan of Gangs of Wasseypur (I & II).

When I saw Sacred Game I loved it, I loved it so much that I watched it over and over (mostly the Gaitonde’s part). After watching for couple of times I realized one thing that was unexplained and sounds unreasonable too.

My thoughts



Gaitonde going to jail is not because he did the mass killing, but it was a plan of Parulkar, Bhosale and Trivedi to lock him and break him from inside and make him loose his hope of surviving the continuous beating and die in the jail. Which is does.

So that they can introduce Teesra Baap in his life which will give him hope and strength by his words to survive.

2. Dilbagh Singh was included in this plan.

Reasoning:

Parulkar arrests Gaitonde after mass killing looks little unusual as Gaitonde and Parulkar formed alliance which is clearly shown. Also policemen (in such kind of scripts) work for gangsters to earn some extra bugs and Parulkar is shown as person not following the rule book of Police Department in the very beginning of the show. More Importantly after locking Gaitonde, he realizes and also says “Parulkar apna dhulai Isa ke kehne pe kar raha hey. Lekin apne ko uss time pata nai tha apne ko TODNE ka yea kam apun ke dost log Parulkar, Bhosale aur Trivedi kar rahe the.“

2. I don’t find any other reason why Parulkar will lock him and give him third degree torture. If we say it is because of the mass killing then make a note that Parulkar never talks about it while beating him. Sure there might be need to arrest him for his act just for the namesake, but there are ways by which powerful people can stay out of it.

3. Even though Parulkar seems not interested in Bhosale in their first meeting (Gaitonde’s birthday) he forms alliance with him and Trivedi too. Some may say it was because Bhosale becomes Politician and Trivedi is a Government officer. But still Bhosale was under Gaitonde’s terror as he was the one who made Bhosale what he was at that time and Gaitonde was much more powerful then him.

4. As said by Gaitonde (see last picture) his Teesra Baap( referred as further Punditji) was the one who did this. It is shown in that he knew something is going to happen after 25 years and they needed muscle to pass through it and asks Trivedi to find some one as he is a religious person and true follower of Punditji.

5. It’s unknown how Trivedi and Bhosale met but when Trivedi tells him that he need a strong person to take this responsibility he suggests Gaitonde and just by seeing him Trivedi gets the vibes that he is the right guy and may be that’s why instead of finding someone else after Gaitonde insultingly denying his offer, he makes him do it.

6. Evidence showing that Dilbagh Singh was also a part of plan:

a. Saif and his mom watching Punditji on T.V. can be extrapolated to the fact that even Dilbagh Singh was a believer in Punditji.

b. Saif’s mom couple of time said to Saif that neither herself nor Saif ever slept peacefully but his father always did. This is portrayed to make people think that this happened because he was not a corrupt person but this can be true because he was a follower of Punditji and his talks kept Dilbagh Singh’s mind calm, which is usually the purpose of such talks.

c. The scene where Bhosale sitting with his man shredding some documents, which must be from Gaitonde case. He finds an old photograph of Dilbagh Singh and he get terrified and shreds the photograph himself (Note: He didn’t knew how to shred but still makes an effort to do it himself. This explained the depth of paranoia.).

Dilbagh Singh might not have done this for the money or under the influence of his seniors (Parulkar and Trivedi) but because he himself was a follower of Punditji.

Also Dilbagh Singh wasn’t a regular constable there, he was specially posted for two months, might be to keep the secrecy.

Actual outcome

In the end(after successful execution triplet’s plan) what we have is in hand is Gaitonde alive and believer of Punditji. Also he leaves his Karama Bhumi Mumbai and go out of India, which he was not ready to do before at any cost. (Remember Trivedi telling to Gaitonde it’s time to go out of country, when they meet at Bhosale’s function.)

Aside

In first few scenes when Jojo was dying after getting shot by Gaitonde she admits that she knew it all the time and fooled him for 20 years. After reading the above content it seems clear that Punditji was successful in his mission or was going to be successful after 25 days and used Gaitonde. Clearly he was disappointed as he loved Mumbai. We have seen what he does when someone takes away what he love, referring to the death of Subhadra.
