#FridayFever- OTT Round- Up Of The Week: It Has Been A 'Scam Filled' Week With Harshad Mehta, Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi And Subrata Roy

By Joginder Tuteja What a week it was for those who love to catch up on real life tales. The world of OTT is indeed bringing some fascinating stories on screen and two such offerings in the week gone by were Scam 1992 and Bad Boy Billionaires. Thank goodness for the digital medium because if not for these, either these stories would have been lost in oblivion as docudramas on some obscure channel or presented in a two hour long movie which wouldn't have really gone into the kind of detailing as you see here.But before all of this, let me talk about Scam 1992. Now Scam 1992, yet another gem on Sony LIV from Applause Entertainment after Undekhi, has set huge standards of telling a real life tale.Telling the tale of Harshad Mehta right from the time he was sharing a one room chawl with his parents, wife and brother, to owning a plush penthouse facing the sea with a private swimming pool no less, Scam 1992 is actually as heroic as it gets. Telling the story of a man who started with a chit fund scheme, it turns out to be the most chilling affair of them all as it effects the grassroots, the downtrodden, the ones for whom saving means Rs.10 a day.On your face, straight forward, unpretentious and hard hitting, it is this very episode that makes one wonder why Bad Boy Billionaires couldn't have stayed consistent like this across each of the three episodes.
