Sacred Games Season 1 Episode 8 - Minimal Poster

According to Bhagavat Purana, Yayati, also known as the father who exchanged his old age with youth of his son, was a puranic king and the son of King Nahusha and Ashoksundari belonged to Aila dynasty.

In this episode, Sartaj finally joins the dots after finding out his father, Dilbagh Singh not only helped Gaitonde in jail but also went under wings of Guruji. Sartaj recalls the memories of Mandala and reaches the hideout of Trivedi.

Another interesting interpretation from Guruji's famous dialogue can lead us to Oedipus complex. Sartaj's doubts about his father builds the curiosity.

This father-son relationship takes a u-turn in Gaitonde's timeline when we see him as a child killing his mother - a sin for which Gaitonde's biological father goes to jail.

Sartaj's amputated thumb, Dilbagh Singh's turban, and this road, which symbolically narrates the tale of Oedipus complex concludes my poster journey on Sacred Games Season 1.
