Perhaps Hansal Mehta was deliberately being uncompromising, to underline the fact that his 10-part web series is a rare Bollywood effort that truly tick-marks all criteria of the genre that Hollywood defines as the financial thriller. Yet, from Wall Street to Margin Call to Equity to The Wolf Of Wall Street -- you could even include Money Monster by a stretch -- we have seen enough instances where crime drama woven around money does not necessarily let money matters overwhelm the human factor of the story

Scam 1992 is a treat to watch. I really enjoyed each and every character in this series. Especially hero of the series, he is really a gem and he perfectly showed the attitude required for Mehta. in this political era, I learnt no one can survive if you go opposite to government

A fragile economic system on the brink of turning itself inside out. A madcap wheeler-dealer’s indomitable drive to make a fortune. A relentless truth-seeker on a mission to expose the unprepossessing face of naked greed. This is the story of an era when a single man’s unabashed debauchery crashed the Bombay Stock exchange single-handedly, and with it, the aspirations of an entire generation. Hansal Mehta’s Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta story revisits this story of India’s first major financial fraud by making use of some brilliant writing and succinct acting chops of its lead actors. The show kicks off with Harshad Mehta’s meteoric rise from humble beginnings, as he becomes the ‘Big Bull’ of Mumbai’s Dalal Street.

The story of this series is quite impressive and very predictable. Each of the characters in this story is quite adept at acting.

This story is going to be very interesting for him if he focuses on the classic story. The story is of a stock broker name Harshad Mehta. He also known as "Cheetah", "Cobra Killer", "Big Bull", "Einstein". Director Hansal Mehta has portrayed the character with enough skillful hands through this story. Dialogue, acting, choreography - everything in this series is quite impressive. Director: Hansal Mehta Cast: Pratik Gandhi, Shreya, Sharib Hashmi and many more Language: Hindi My Verdict: A.

Vinish posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
One of the best show ever made in India, the whole star cast is phenomenal, the writing, direction, screen play, background music, Dialogues all are at its peak. All the actors done their jobs brilliantly amd stick to their character but when it comes to Prateek Gandhi, he is just on another level truly owns the show. He portrayed Harshad Meha with so ease and so brilliantly that even real Harshad Mehta won't be able to do it for once. And the introductory theme music, if you have listened it even for once you won't be able to skip it ever again, it is this good. Overall it's an amazing show please go binge-watch it, you won't regret even for a second.

The storyline and cinematography grips you entirely. Pratik Gandhi, is a superstar and so are the other actors from the series who have done justice to their roles. The show is a roller coaster ride and gives you a third person perspective and tries to stay grounded without taking bias for any character as such. Thoroughly enjoyed it, would recommend it to everyone. Also, Kudos to the background music of the Show.

This is one of those series that most of us have watched in just one time, and yeah no one can deny the fact that its the best web series ever made in the Indian movie and series space. It's real life based movie, and the story is taken from the book Scam written by Sucheta Dalal one of the characters in the real life Harsha Mehta. But when it comes to direction, acting, sound, music or anything, no one can beat this series. Pratik Gandhi is at its best. No nudity, no bad words. Just Pure Acting and Pure Series.

A story that everyone should know about it. However, when you have picked it to watch, then your thinking won't hurt you about Hansal Mehta as a director over the years. This is time with the help of Mukhesh Chhabra's casting prowess he left no stone unturned to tell such a biggest scam of India through the most talented faces like Pratik Gandhi and Shreya Dhanwanthary. Every single department of this series stood out solid with perfection. It's a must and worthy to watch..

Loki posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
This is the masterstroke from Hansal Mehta. All actors has done great acting throughout the series. This is basically a journey of Harshad Mehta from Jobber to billionaire. Story about how he manipulates the share market and company stock. He was known as Amitabh Bachchan of share market and all stock brokers calls him as big bull. After reaching to the top in share market he decided to enter in money market. He borrows funds from bank and invests in share market and after seeking profit he returns the amount to the bank. But once he failed to make profit and not able to return banks borrowed fund then this scam came into the light.

Excellent tv series. every one should watch it to understand the banking defaults in our system. First of all the introduction theme is such masterpiece art work depicting the entire story of Harshad's life (rags-riches-rags). Though the story itself is an interesting watch still the direction work is been pulled off impeccably. Bang on acting skills of the entire cast. In short the each and every department of this amazing series is a genius's work.

One of 2020's best web series resurrects the raging bull of Dalal Street. A skilled ensemble cast adds depth to Scam 1992 and it was a pleasure to watch so many faces that populated the screen in the 90s once again. It is the solid writing and direction that make this show an engrossing watch, despite its length and complex subject matter.A movie with no big actors but Pratik Gandhi just killed his acting . What a movie man its really hard to find such masterpiece nowadays.

Ester posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
I was sceptical about all the praises which this show was earning but when I tried it myself, I approve of all the terrific reviews it has received. The show is brilliantly made, the team has done an admirable job and the casting is just so nice. All the actors have delivered an incredible and persuasive performance which is entitled to applause. The background music, the dialogues, the unsaid words which arise on the screen, all the nuances when beautifully clubbed together brings about this masterpiece which leaves you in awe, out of words and forces you think about everything that transpired. It's a very well made show and deserves to be seen, particularly by those who have lived the late 80s and 90s period.

Agrippa posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
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 prove it. 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.

Hansal Mehta digs deep into the India of 80s and 90s to tell us the story of the security scam that shook up the country. Harshad Mehta's boom to bust story is emblematic of it's time but not limited to it. This story is based on a book by Suchita Dalal and Debashis Basu the scam: who won, who lost, who got away focusing on how Harshad rigged the system in collusion with public sector banks and private financial institution.

Series portraits one of the biggest Indian stock market scandal perfectly, which caused numbers of amendments in Acts, laws of banking and stock system. Directed by national award winner Hansal Mehta and i guess now he should win one more. He is genuinely Gem of the industry. Actor pratik gandhi and all other actors have made everyone speechless by their acting. Dialogues were written very beautifully with Gujrati idioms and phrases.

Sanki posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story is arguably the best Indian web show ever made. The sheer amount of research and detailing that went into the making of this series is commendable. This is one of the finest storytelling in recent times backed by a lifetime performance. Both Hansal Mehta the director and lead actor Prateek Gandhi hit it out of the park with this one. To execute a stock exchange drama and make it interesting is not an easy task but Hansal succeeds in doing this. While the first half of the show is centred around Harshad's rise from rags to riches. The second half is about his downfall as the noose starts tightening around him. To his credit Hansal Mehta doesn't take any sides and tells the Harshad story without making a hero or an anti hero out of him. Here was a man who knew the system very well and used its loopholes and irregularities to his advantage. But his oversized ambition and greed eventually did him in. Speaking of performances Prateek Gandhi is Harshad Mehta. The rest of the supporting actors are very cleverly cast and they all are brilliant. The ones who stand out in particular are Shreya Dhanwanthary, Ananth Narayan Mahadevan, Nikhil Dwivedi, Rajat Kapoor and Shadaab Khan. Overall the show is a slow burner. It does tests your patience initially but keeps on getting better with every episode.

Tineesh posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
What a story and equally brilliant cast, camera work and dialogues! It's a pure roller coaster of emotion. Pratik Gandhi and Shreya have just wowed the audience. Hats off to Hansal Mehta. The journey of a simple middle-class family man from nothing to being the highest Indian tax payer and then falling back to 0 is brilliantly put together. And for people having business in their blood, it is a life lesson of being fearless to reach the top legally and it also teaches what you should not do while being at the zenith of your career. Simply a must watch.

Amazing series. Many want to learn the art of making money, few learn it and some unique personality over achieve it. Had heard lot about this scam and got to know lot about it. It's a known story about many taking advantage of the loopholes in the system but sadly Harshad ended up on receiving end. Acting, story, music and everything is up to the mark. Actor pratik gandhi played harshad mehta played so well Other co actors were also awesome It will definitely teach you some good life lessons Though many were included in this scam.

In Scam 1992: The harshad mehta story, instead of letting his story unfold through the mind games of his protagonist, which would have made the series lucid and enjoyable for all, director hansal mehta often tends to immerse the narrative in a mire of heavy stock market lingo and logistics. I will recommend it.

Akash posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
The movie scam 1992 is based on the movie of an Indian stockbroker Harshad Mehta . 1n the era of 90s he spent a lot of money in the stock market of India and played accordingly. This webseries is a complete 10 episode movie which fully covers his rise and fall. According to me the movie has got a good plot and I would give 4 out of 5. For direction also it's 4of 5. What I misses is the better sound effects at some places. Overall the movie is a must watching . You will love it, Because I loved it too.

Sobha posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
Initially, Scam 1992 may seem like a socialist story of taking back power from the resourceful and re-distributing it amongst the public, where it emerges from and rightfully belongs. Caution, it comes out to be far from that. Rather, it captures the spirit of Bombay beautifully, which is that the city does not slumber even at night and rises like a phoenix from its ashes.

Perhaps Hansal Mehta was deliberately being uncompromising, to underline the fact that his 10-part web series is a rare Bollywood effort that truly tick-marks all criteria of the genre that Hollywood defines as the financial thriller. Yet, from Wall Street to Margin Call to Equity to The Wolf Of Wall Street -- you could even include Money Monster by a stretch -- we have seen enough instances where crime drama woven around money does not necessarily let money matters overwhelm the human factor of the story

There is a basic challenge that Hansal Mehta throws, while narrating the story of Big Bull Harshad Mehta. Instead of letting his story unfold through the mind games of his protagonist, which would have made the series lucid and enjoyable for all, he often tends to immerse the narrative in a mire of heavy stock market lingo and logistics.

The 1992 scam is a webseries based on the life of harsad Mehta ,an indian stockbroker . The webseries shows the rise and downfall of his life career and how he made money by the stocks. The movie is directed by Harshad Mehta . The movie has a good story and it's well shown also. At some moment I felt the story to be expanded. Overall it's worth time giving and knowledge gainer too.

Jaya posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
It focuses extensively on the rise of Harshad Mehta from a common man to the big bull of the bombay stock exchange(BSE). How he creates the biggest scams in the economic sector using the loopholes of the system is the core focus. The subtle growth of the character(in power and confidence )is both well-written and performed.It is not too in your face, but if one follows the story, one can't miss it. The two interactions, one where Harshad Mehta is first employed and another where he speaks to the Governor of rbi about indian economy is an example of this development.The convincing and daring nature of person is believably presented.

Ashutosh posted a review for Scam 1992 (Web Series 2020) in Movies
This year was flooded with web series on all the OTT platforms. But not everyone matches the bar set by this series. I watched it devoid of any expectations thinking of completing an episode per day but ended up binge watching it. Hansal Mehta is already an established name in the industry. I was always a fan of his filmography. But this series made me a bigger fan of his. The effort the whole team has put in literally shows on screen. Full marks to Pratik Gandhi who lived his character completely. Rest of the cast also did a fabulous job. It was a tough task of displaying entire journey of Harshad Mehta in 10 episodes but the master magician Hansal Mehta did that with perfection. Extra points to the bgm and cinematography. All in all it is a must watch web series for everyone. 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.

Scam 1992 : 'The Harshad metha story' does not pronounce guilty verdict on India's first financial sector scamster, but presents us with a morally dubious character and leaves it our sensibilities whether to make him a missiah or a pariah. It is a really good series on Sony LIV app. The actor who played role of Harshad metha has played very well. The casting and plot of the story is very well. This is really must watch series based on stock market!
