Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story Webseries review

-


Scam 1992 is brilliant in every aspect.  A webseries based on some financial scam that happened in 90s that means in pre-digital era. One could see how much effort one has to put to bring out that 90s period. Kudos to the creator and crew. I think the best thing about the series is screenplay, not even a minute I felt bored and I never thought I would binge-watch this one as it is based on financial fraud. That means there will be many technical details about how the stocks gets processed and how the money market operates and people may easily get bored of hearing all this. It was interesting throughout the last episode. 


Casting is brilliant. I don't know anyone can play as Hardhad Mehta except Pratik Gandhi (An actor who appears mainly in Gujarati movies). His acting was immaculate. It felt like he is an actor having fifty years of experience in cine field. Be it the dialogue delivery or the body language, he did wonderful job. The next great performance was by Shreyas Dhanvandhary(Known for The Family Man). She did an amazing job, playing as a Journalist. Along with these two, everyone performed very well. There is not even a single flaw in casting. 


The beauty is boldness. The makers of this series never cared to hide anything. If it's a scam involving SBI or Citibank then be it, they didn't change it to BBI or SitiBank. Even if the scam invloves the biggest position from the government, they bravely put it out. Everything was detailed as it was. Only some scenes were fictional. With all these plus points, they didn't stop and went ahead and got the best background score and theme, it was just icing on the cake. At first, the theme didn't interest me much, later when I continued watching, it had me. I still can't get over the theme music from my head. It still resonates over my head again and again. 


Scam 1992 is Masterpiece, stands in a world cinimatic level. Never to be missed.

CHENNAI LUXE IMAX EXPERIENCE Versus PVR PXL screen Experience

Image
Finally I watched End game in IMAX today. Before witnessing the experience of IMAX, I already seen it in PVR PXL screen ( Anna Nagar). To begin with the experience, I honestly say that I didn't notice much of the difference. Be it sound or video there was almost zero differences. Only thing was that the intro numbering video was great. Except that there wasn't any highlights. I am strongly able to say this since I watched the movie already and I only went for IMAX experience. The worst part of luxe IMAX is screen size is also Normal or I could say it's even lesser in size when compared to PVR PXL screen. I have included the photos that I had taken in both the cinima theatres. You can very well see that PXL screen is much bigger. With 380 bucks at approximate I kind of expected something, at least I thought I feel better than watching it in PXL screen. It was disappointing. The pros are they have a good leg spaces in IMAX that the other person's head will not cover th...

Below is the list of 2023 Series and I liked The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Aspirants, Scam 2003: The Telgi Story the most and Dhootha was good but lagged logic as the main character could have informed to the police in the first episode itself and I don't see the harm of doing it and if it would have been made like that it would have been good.  1. TVF Pitchers (2022 Hindi, Season 2) 2. Farzi(2023 Hindi, Season 1) 3. Cook with Comali (2023 Tamil, Season 4) 4. The Hunt for Veerappan(2023 Tamil, True Crime Documentary) 5.
