Scam 1992 - The Harshad Mehta Story Web Series Review

 


 

If you want to have a recap of all that happened during the unravelling of India's Greatest Financial Scam and re-live the 80s and 90s evolutionary phase of the Stock Market before it reached the heights of the Y2K boom, please watch "Scam 1992 -The Harshad Mehta Scam" on Sony Liv OTT. Ten hours of unalloyed, gripping story-telling, sincerely drawn and adapted from Sucheta Dalal and Debasis Basu's seminal book "The Scam". We cannot imagine the ease with which we trade in shares and government securities today if we watch that era when we had to endure transfer deeds and outcry times. When the Sensex base was so low that people panicked due to fall in number of points to what we now experience when we measure in percentage falls, its a long way we have come. 
 
Hansal Mehta has captured the essence of the scam in a riveting narrative that will not quench your thirst until you finish all the ten episodes streaming live. Handled with lot of objectivity and commentary underpinned to current happenings - it connects the transitory phase with deftness and maturity - that a three-hour Bollywood movie cannot capture. It is the best OTT output of 2020 and something that is worth all of your ten hours of time - whether you want to re-explain it to your non-savvy mother or driver, or to the Robinhood Investors who haven't yet experienced the kind of "animal spirits", hubris and nemesis that Harshad Mehta once made us experience - when there was no whatsapp and online trading and mutual funds meant only US 64 and PMS. Anshal Thakkar's piercing BGM score only enhances the seriousness of this magnificent film that will soon become a DVD classic. Pratheek Gandhi as Harshad Mehta and Shreya Dhanwantaray as Sucheta Dalal give the performance of their lives. Because it is a retelling that shook the faith in India's nascent capital markets - it deserves wide viewing and patronage - because history keeps rhyming again and again.
