  • Scam 2003: The Telgi Chutzpah Shines In An Average Fare!

    Scam 2003: The Telgi Chutzpah Shines In An Average Fare!

    Daring toh karna padega darling!

    First Things First! Scam 2003 Is Not As Gripping As The Pratik Gandhi – Harshad Mehta Show: The Scam 1992. The Comparison May Not Be Completely Fair. 

    Scam 2003 Follows The Same Template: The Rags To Riches Story, Charismatic Protagonist, Mindless Ambition, Exploitation Of The Greed Of Corrupt Loopholes In The System. 

    Abdul Karim Telgi Is A Humble & Smart Fruit Seller From Karnataka. After A Short Stint In Gulf, The City Of Dreams Beckons Him And He Rises & Rises As The King Of Counterfeit Stamp Papers! During His Journey, He Either Wins Or Buys The People & System Around Him! 

    Scam 2003 Belongs To Gagan Dev Riar – His Charm Is Attractive – As Is His Metamorphosis Into A Menace. He Has Gotten Into The Skin As Well As The Mannerisms Of Telgi Impeccably. Even In Simple One Liners Or Complex Episodes, He Keeps You Hooked! 

    Savings account mein confidence jama karke rakha hoon, cash bhi aa jaayega!

    The Show Is Pale In Comparison To The Scam 1992. The Pace Is Slow, Screenplay Weak & The Drama Does Not Seem As Gripping As The Earlier Show. However, Only The First Five Episodes Of The Telgi Story Are Out. So Things May Change In The Second Serving!

  • Kaalkoot: A Gripping Cop Drama – A Great Watch!

    Kaalkoot: A Gripping Cop Drama – A Great Watch!

    Kaalkoot: A Gripping Cop Drama – Great Watch!

    The protagonist Ravi Shankar Tripathi is assigned a case of acid attack on a young Parul Chaturvedi, whose photo he has received recently for a marriage proposal. He is a son of progressive poet and teacher, who has offered to resign due to inability to adjust with the system. Still struggling at his job, he hunts for the culprit and comes across the deep-rooted opinions and perspectives of the people. 

    The deep rooted gender bias, patriarchy, misogyny, police system, toxicity, father-son’s difficult relationship, witch hunt of the victim – all are explored very emphatically as Pandora’s box opens slowly! 

    Performance par excellence by Vijay Varma – Heart and soul of the movie. The way he transforms himself while realising his limitations and inner demons is phenomenal. Equally rock solid performances by the entire cast. Special mention for Gopal Datt and Yashpal Sharma. Shweta Tripathi and Seema Biswas once again show their class – simply awesome.  

    Strong writing and sensitive direction. The music is wonderful and makes a great impact!

    A Great Watch – Vijay Varma’s the show stealer!
