Sacred Games 2 is quite an ambitious project of Netflix as it has invested round Rs. 100 crore in making 8 episodes of the web series. The first season of the series was a big hit and Netflix is quite hopeful of the second season as well which has been released on 15th August.
While some fans are loving the show, there are few who are not so happy with it. However, the biscuit brand Parle-G is quite happy with the fact that it has been mentioned in the series. For the uninitiated, it gets mentioned when a character Bunty talks about his miserable condition and tells his boss that he is living by eating Parle-G.
Netflix India also used this dialogue for the purpose of showing the condition of those who have money in the beginning of the month but by the end of the month, they are broken.
Here is what it tweeted,
“Start of the month: Bohot paisa hai apun ke pass.
End of the month: Parle-G khana padh raha hai kaali chai mein duboke.”
