Scam 2003 - The Telgi Story

In Sir Gagan Dev Riar, we find a true powerhouse of talent who single-handedly elevates this show to remarkable heights. "Proper scam show" indeed, as it offers an exhilarating experience from start to finish. Both the prequel and sequel deserve a solid 9/10 rating, showcasing consistency in their quality.

Gagan sir's performance as TELGI is a standout, as he effortlessly transitions between portraying a kind-hearted character and a formidable villain. His ability to convey both these contrasting personas with finesse adds depth to the narrative. Throughout the five episodes, I found myself thoroughly engaged.

The show's captivating allure is evident right from the first 10 minutes, which skillfully hooks the viewer, compelling them to continue watching. However, it's worth noting that when streaming on the SonyLiv mobile app, there were occasional issues with buffering. Fortunately, the website version provided a smoother viewing experience.

In summary, Sir Gagan Dev Riar's commendable performance, coupled with the show's gripping storyline, makes it a must-watch. Whether you're a fan of his acting prowess or simply enjoy thrilling narratives, this show delivers on all fronts.

The Telgi Story is a gripping, suspenseful, and eye-opening drama that tells the true story of Abdul Karim Telgi, the mastermind behind India's biggest counterfeiting scam. The series is well-made and well-acted, with Gagan Dev Riar giving a star-making turn as Telgi.

The series begins with Telgi's humble beginnings as a small-time salesman. He is a hustler and a dreamer, and he sees an opportunity to make a fortune by counterfeiting stamp paper. He sets up a complex operation and begins to print millions of rupees worth of fake stamps.

At first, Telgi's scam goes undetected. But as he gets more and more ambitious, he starts to attract attention from the authorities. The series follows the cat-and-mouse game between Telgi and the police, as they try to outwit each other.

Scam 2003 is a fascinating and cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and corruption. It is also a reminder that even the most elaborate scams can eventually be brought down.

The show is Good and Worth Watching. The Charm which Scam 1992 had is missing in this show. The new director couldn't match the level of Hansal Mehta and that's clearly visible on the show. The Actor is doing a good job and acting like a normal scammer,But people are expecting some type of heroics here. People,This is not "Once Upon a Time Mumbai or Gangubai" where criminals are portrayed as hero. The show has a little slow pace and takes time for buildup. I also felt many things from abdul Telgi's personal life is missing in the show.

I hope next Volume of scam 2003 will be better Than Volume 1.

The series is good but not as awesome as Scam 1992. I like acting and characters very much but story is not attractive as scam 1992.

And they did not released it fully. Have to wait for they second half which is worst mistake. I always hate when OTT make us wait for new episode.

The dialogue are not that feel like real and they showed the Telgi character much over confident like he knows everything going to work. It was like little far away from real human nature.

Overall I like the series and but only giving it 7 stars because I have to wait for the next half which I hate the most. Cheers!

I don't think the story can be compared to S1 as both took place in different timelines. I agree with most of the reviews that Hansal Mehta should have directed this one. The first part was average and the story gains momentum in the second half. Splitting the episodes and releasing it with months gap was a bad decision. Why cant you makers release all the episodes at once? The second half is really good. The last episode seems fictitious. How did the politicians escape such an obvious scam? Only Telgi and his family members names are real, all the politicians and actors names used in this serial are fictitious. Why!!!! When you want to show true crime, please stick to that.
