Even minus the novelty, The Gone Game has an interesting premise that should keep the viewers glued. Add to it some strong actors and a very crisp 5-episode length and you have all the ingredients for a nice thriller. Alas, much of it is undone by some bad writing. The twists and unpredictable turns that made The Gone Game in season one are absent. You could see every twist from a mile away. Another turn off for me was the lack of research and absence of realism. Sahil is supposedly struggling to find a fake passport as he wants to flee to Nepal.The Gone Game Season 1-2 Download.
Well, if he had only Googled, he’d find that Indians can cross over to Nepal without a passport too, with just a Voter ID, a document that is notoriously easy to obtain. Wish the writers had told him that. The show would have been much shorter.But The Gone Game still has some positives, largely in the form of its performances and background score. Sanjay Kapoor as the two-faced patriarch is effortless and believable while Rukhsar brings credibility to her role as the mother who can see no wrong in her scammer son. But it’s Arjun Mathur who steals the show in a rare negative role.
The actor has shown his mettle in Made in Heaven and here, he brings the desperation, anger, and deviousness of a criminal mind to the fore quite brilliantly. Shweta Tripathi Sharma as his suspicious and righteous sister is his ideal foil. The actor shows she is much more than just the unidimensional roles she has been given so far. Dibyendu Bhattacharya impresses in his small role but Harleen Sethi as a CBI officer–a new addition this season– and Shriya Pilgaonkar as Sahil’s wronged wife fail to leave a mark.
