Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane bring life to Vikram Chandra’s brilliant 2006 novel, casting actors who play gritty roles with excellence, and look and sound like real people in complicated positions who don’t look fantastic all the time, aren’t all good or all bad, and who don’t have all the answers.

Sacred Games is a mobster-cop potboiler set in the context of the communal bloodletting
