SonyLIV's

web
series
Scam
1992
-
The
Harshad
Mehta
Story,
released
on
October
9
midnight,
and
fans
are
already
praising
the
director,
Hansal
Mehta.
The
10-part
series
stars
Pratik
Gandhi
in
the
titular
role
of
the
controversial
stockbroker,
while
Shreya
Dhanwanthary
will
play
Sucheta
Dalal,
the
journalist
who
investigated
and
reported
the
scam.
The
show
is
based
on
The
Scam:
Who
Won,
Who
Lost,
Who
Got
Away,
a
book
written
by
Debashis
Basu
and
Sucheta
Dalal.
Talking
about
the
show,
Hansal
told
Scroll,
"People
spoke
to
me
about
their
experiences
as
if
[Harshad]
was
some
sort
of
a
flawed
hero
figure
-
a
hero
fallen
from
grace
for
them.
The
stock
market
at
the
time
was
a
fish
market
with
thousands
of
crores
traded
in
a
single
day,"
Hansal
Mehta
recalled.
"We
have
tried
to
recreate
that
energy.
It's
about
the
characters
and
their
journeys
and
not
the
world
they
live
in."
Praising
the
show,
netizens
called
it
India's
response
to
the
Hollywood
film,
Wolf
of
Wall
Street.
One
user

"Three

Another

said,
"#Scam1992
What
an
amazing
show.
A
must
watch.
#SonyLIV
@mehtahansal" while
a
tweet
read,
"Two
episodes
down
and
#Scam1992
looks
unarguably
one
of
the
best
works
of
this
year.
Binge
watching
the
episodes
will
totally
give
you
a
sleepless
night.
Making
the
story
of
such
a
subject
in
such
an
interesting
and
intriguing
manner
?
Flawless
acting
and
camera
work!"
Debashish's
character
really
hit
a
nerve
when
he
said
"Bombay
ka
best
sandwich
milta
hai
yahan"
when
they
were
outside
the
BSE.
For
everything
I
hate
about
Bombay
streetside
sandwiches
are
certainly
not
one
of
them
😭😭😭
