Scam 1992 The Harshad Mehta Story Review in Hindi - Pratik Gandhi, Anjali Borat, Shreya Dhanwanthary Latest Highest Rated Web Series Review By Anupam Shukla - स्कैम १९९२ रिव्यु हिंदी में;
Risk hai toh ishq hai. A rags to riches to rags story...truly intriguing and gripping show. Fab casting. Shout out to Hansal Mehta for brilliant direction and capturing the essence of 1980's Bombay. I still vouch for the toast sandwich opposite the BSE building. Pratik Gandhi and Shreya's career graph would be closely followed now!
Okay, so the bottom line is "harshad mehta" was involved in most of the wrong doing but was he the only guy responsible ? No, Never. In a scam like huge as 1992 shown in this series, it was never one person befooling the entire nation. This show has 2 names written all over it, pratik gandhi (harshad mehta) and the creator himself Hansal mehta. What a crazy show he has pulled off, no big actors with huge following but bunch of actors who have shown their par excellence in this 9 episode long series. this is the best work of hansal mehta that he has pulled of in his career. From the scene 1 to the last pratik gandhi has stole the show. what a great addition to the film industry. The strongest point in this very complicated series filled with so many jargons is the fact is it's screenplay. to the point, no nonsense, no strong language without any use, no vulgarity and just a focus on story-line. a Strong screenplay and good direction is always the key to the film/ series and SCAM 1992 is here to proof. don't think just watch it, you love it and want to watch it in just one go. too good to be made for an Indian audience which focuses only on one thing a good meme templates, which this series is definitely not.
The Indian Stock Market Scam which took place in Mumbai in 1992 was the biggest market scam committed by Harshad Mehta eventually causing a huge crash in the stock market. Will Scam 1992 be able to refresh the events aptly ? Let us find outAdapted from journalist Sucheta Dalal and Debashish Basu's book The Scam: Who Won, who Lost, who Got Away, Scam 1992 tells the story of rise and fall of Harshad Mehta who catapulted from an ordinary common man to the "Amitabh Bachchan Of Indian Stock Market". His rise was sudden and quick but eventually succumbed to greed of more power and money.
here are two things which can ignite the curiosity in you to watch the 10 episode web series drama Scam 1992 - Hansal Mehta taking the director's seat and interesting tale of how the stock market scam was orchestrated by well known stock broker Harshad Mehta which eventually led to a big crash of Indian Stock Market in 1992. After watching Scam 1992, your thirst for a perfect captivating web series will be quenched thanks to the solid entertainment, powerful dialogues and electrifying performances that will keep you hooked till the last episode "Main History Banana Chahta Hoon".
A big clap to Hansal Mehta for researching and taking us into the world of stock market trading during the 1980-1992 period by keeping it raw and real. The web-series delves into minutes details which will be interesting even for the folks who come from non-financial background. A big shout out to team of writers which includes Sumit Purohit (Inside Edge), Karan Vyas (Ventilator) and Vaibhav Vishal.
Scam 1992 is flavored with a brilliant background by Achint Thakkar, transformed you into the beautiful era of Mumbai in 90's with magnificent cinematography by Pratham Mehta, splendid art direction by Nida Shaikh (Once Upon A Time In Mumbai), outstanding production design by Tarpan Shrivastava (Dishoom) and Payal Ghose and a eye-catching costume design by Arun J Chauhan (Zindagai Na Milegi Dobara). May be the story of rise and fall of Harshad Mehta seemed bit long but you cannot miss the sharp editing by Kunal Walve, though I would still argue that series could have shortened by few episodes.
Scam 1992 boast of some of the finest performances of this year. To start with first and the foremost is Pratik Gandhi who gives a knockout performance as he deep-dives into the body language of Harshad Mehta with a Gujarat accent. This is one of the actor who needs to be watch out for. Shreya Dhanwanthary is simply superb as Sucheta Dalal who investigated and exposed the Harshad Mehta scam. I loved her in the scene where Sucheta gives a befitting reply to Harshad Mehta when he tries to bribe her with an exuberant salary. Apart from these, the actor who play Harshad's brother was good along with Nikhil Dwivedi, Ananth Mahadevan, Rajat Kapoor and Satish Kaushik.
On the whole, Scam 1992 has raised the bar of the Indian web series with its magnificent direction, brilliant performances and captivating story. Go for it.
In the recently started rat race of the OTT platforms in India, Sony Liv has so far been lagging behind. But with one show they have now left behind all the competitors. At least for this festive session when viewership traditionally remains higher than average. Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story is undoubtedly one of the finest biopics ever made in India. Based on the fraudster ( or a maverick genius?) Harshad Mehta's life as depicted in Sucheta Dalal and Debasish Basu's bestselling book 'The Scam', 'Scam 1992' is yet another earthen, gripping and thought provoking work by the Director Hansal Mehta of 'Aligarh', 'Shahid' or 'Omerta' fame.
Set in the late 70s , 80s and early 90s, the show steals your attention with its first scene. The moments from the past have been so magically recreated that you feel like you are time travelling to those years. Even though plenty of CGI effects have been used, the creators have mixed those with such panache and ease that you don't feel repulsed even for a single moment.
Each and every dialogue is intelligent and has a strong punch underneath. I was wondering how they could maintain such consistence in writing the dialogues from beginning to the end, after ten almost forty minutes episodes. Unlike other cheap shows available online, there has never been any attempt to make the dialogues mushy or melodramatic. The dialogues as I found form the soul of this beautifully crafted show.
Many will shy away from it thinking its a lexicon of jargons commonly used in the stock market. But hey, you are making a big mistake. You won't even be wrong to take it as your first basic and genuine guide to the stock market. Almost every phenomenon, event, activity of the share market has been thoroughly and lucidly explained by the director, so much so that even if you do not possess any interest in the stock market, you may end up dabbling there to try your luck once you finish watching this series. The creator was not in a rush to finish the things. And that has given him the liberty to show every minute detail of Harshad Mehta's struggling period, his meteoric rise to glory and eventually the disgraceful end. The journey is long but not for a single moment it appears exhausting. The unemotional approach to depict Harshad's life is the forte of the series and the creator does his job with élan. At times Harshad appears very much vulnerable, at times he is emotional, at times he is crooked. But throughout, he is one of his own kind. The non judgmental tone of the director to portray the Big Bull of Bombay Stock Exchange leaves it up to you to make your own image of him- a genius or a monster.
The show is bold in its depiction of the contemporary political scenario of India albeit without any distinct desire to appear partisan to any ideology, very much banal these days in the age of sycophancy. Harshad's connections with the New Delhi power corridors show the true color of Indian politics. Use the one with power and dump him when he runs out of gas.
Now coming to the best part of the series, acting. Pratik Gandhi as the talented Mr.Mehta has done a fantastic job so much so that I was wondering why Bollywood has such a powerhouse performer so far. A product of Indian theatre activism, Gandhi is phenomenal in his portrayal of such a complex character. He has the potentials to reach the league of extraordinary gentlemen like the stalwarts Guru Dutt, Nasiruddin Shah, Om Puri or Irrfan Khan. He is so much vocal even when he is not uttering a single word. He is expressive even when he has the least of the scopes to emote. He is monumental in his depiction of Harshad Mehta. The other actors like Shreya Dhanwanthary, Satish Kaushik, Rajat Kapoor, Sharib Hashmi- everyone does justice to their roles. Watthour an iota of doubt, you can watch Scam 1992 just for the brilliance of its lead actors.
The final verdict- Scam 1992 is an honest and earnest effort from Hansal Mehta to depict the scamster whose name sounds almost like his own- Harshad Mehta. There are no ostentations to glorify the first real superstar or supervillain of the Indian stock market. What he does is perfect portrayal of a decade and a half in the bygone era of the Indian money market which strongly needed a megalomaniac like Harshad to expose the inherent weaknesses of the Indian financial system. Scam 1992 is a victory for everyone associated with its creation.
