Sacred Games: The Rise of Indian OTTs | Decode with @dhruvrathee | @VarunGroverComedy | Netflix India

On this episode of Decode with Dhruv we look at Sacred Games, the show that dropped every cynical notion that Indian content was behind the west. What made it one of the most successful shows, even internationally? How did it slice through the realities of a society governed by godmen? What were the pressures of adapting acclaimed author Vikram Chandra's masterpiece? We try and answer some of these questions while speaking with Varun Grover, the head writer of the show and Vijesh Rajan, the director of the show's title sequence. 00:00 A Sacred Show 00:50 Revolutionary Content 01:13 An Epic Backstory 01:56 First Class Writing 02:28 Interview with Varun Grover 06:51 Strong secondary characters 07:48 Gochi Gang 08:07 The Story of Bombay 08:34 The Production Process 09:26 India’s House of Cards Moment 09:47 Opening Themes 10:42 Interview with Vijesh Rajan 12:29 Treading a Fine Line 12:52 A Lack of Closure 14:04 India’s Best Show Credits: Created and Produced by: All Things Small Producer: Devaiah Bopanna Writer: Rohan D’Souza Executive Producer & Director: Rigved Siriah Design: Mihir Lele Graphics and Animation: Mihir Lele & Kshitij Verma Title Track: Mehar Chumble & Sharukh Makani Associate Producer: Eeshita Chinmulgund Researcher: Poorna Swami Creative Producer: Deloret Imnidian Follow Varun Grover on: Twitter:   / varungrover   Follow Vijesh Rajan on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vijesh.plex...
