An unrealistic try from an immature director
Anwar Says : I have no option but to compare this Disney Hotstar , Abhishek Bachchan starrer, release today to Prateek Gandhi's 1992 Scam on mxplayer. The later was a much realistic and well researched portrayal of this all time biggest stock broker and this is what the audience of 2020 appreciates. Never heard of the director Kookie Gulati tried to show Harshad Mehta as larger than its canvas. The readers here born in late 60's and early 70's have seen and experienced Mr. Mehta . Middle class in 1990-92 , have earned from his endeavours/ manipulations but that cannot give him credit of building the economy of the country . It was the then FM , whose liberalisation policy is somewhat responsible for bringing the Indian Economy on track. I would not say that Mr. Mehta was an organised criminal but finding lacunae in present system primarily for one's own benefit cannot make you a hero. Dramatic Liberty might be accepted but projecting someone a fanciful face is much beyond the truth . Probably a Gujrati Director wouldn't have behaved in this way . Now the performance, Abhishek Bachchan as Mr .Mehta looks like DBA of Guru , the mannerisms, dressing, dialogue delivery and everything. Ileana D'Cruz has matured as an actor. I liked Nikita Dutta as Abhishek's wife but she has been shown young throughout the time, when Abhishek was shown growing old . Supriya Pathak has been wasted. Ram Kapur and Mahesh Manjrekar have nothing much to do . Sohum Shah as the younger brother is the character, who would impress you. Overall, I would recommend mxplayer anytime over Hotstar, if you wish to understand one of the unforgettable event of 1990's . Sorry Mr. Ajay Devgun ( Producer) , you may not be able to recover your cost .#disneyhotstar
