Scam 1992 review: SonyLIV show on Harshad Mehta mistakes jargon for complexity

Firstpost  

Language: Hindi Hansal Mehta’s 10-part series, Scam 1992: The Story of Harshad Mehta, begins on an intriguing note. A voice-over tells us that this scam shook the foundation of India’s economy, and was named after one man — Harshad Mehta, the ‘Big Bull’ on Dalal Street. Releasing a week after Netflix’s Bad Boy Billionaires: India, a series around Indian businessmen defrauding the Indian public and escaping legal punishment, SonyLIV’s Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story is in a similar vein. It is impossible to dismiss Hansal’s series, considering the visible research gone into unearthing the many threads of the Harshad Mehta story.
