That said, the random attempts could’ve been handled well by throwing in some logic to explain the reasoning but the writer’s thought process could’ve well been fueled by the urgency of the situation. Essentially, the writers worked backward to arrive at the scenario. Having four deactivation attempts is odd and the next best number after 3 for such a scenario is 5, which is how we ended up with what we saw.
SACRED GAMES LAST EPISODE CRACK
It would’ve however been too convenient to see all three attempts taken up by Saif, which is why the lady was given a few attempts to sell the notion that there’s no way to crack this. To heighten the dramatic tension, the writers wanted to cap out Saif’s attempts at three so he would be forced to choose between two pivotal characters for his last attempt. The only way I can explain this is that there were four main characters in Guruji’s cult: Dilbaug Singh, Batya, Gaitonde and Trivedi. This was not lost on the online community which showered harsh words of criticism on that writing choice. This segues in nicely with the Indo-Pak partition focused opening that reveals how Sartaj’s and Shahid’s mothers were cousin sisters separated during the events of the partition, effectively making Saif and Ranveer’s characters cousins.Īside from Sartaj turning out to be the lone savior, it was also comical to see the lady waste two out of five attempts drawing seemingly random patterns. The title Radcliffe refers to the Radcliffe border line that separated Indian-occupied regions like Bengal from Pakistan-occupied ones. To understand this, it’s necessary to understand the significance of the episode’s title and the cold opening. While the episode may have left Mumbai’s fate ambiguous, there are enough clues to uncover what happened. The fate of the bomb is left hanging as the screen cuts to black after Sartaj inputs the final pattern. After two attempts are wasted by the female scientist, the cops accept the city’s fate and scramble to escape from the blast radius, leaving Sartaj with three attempts. With the cops having apprehended Shahid, they desperately try to diffuse the bomb by entering in the correct code, an unlock pattern of sorts. In the final episode of Season 2, Sartaj (Saif Ali Khan) manages to reach the location where Shahid Khan (Ranveer Shorey) has planted the nuclear bomb.
