Scam 2003 - The Telgi Story

Sameer lodaya

Yet another masterpiece from from Hansal mehta after scam 1996 and scoop

The content is of the very famous scammer TELGI inspired from novel reporters ki diary which is sharply made and magnificently delivered in series by Tushar and Hansal..the series starts with BGM of scam 1996 which really refresh's you..the makers have focused on every minute details with good pace ,tangy dialogues, background music, realistic costumes all these you can only find in some makers like Hansal mehta who is now considered pioneer in Hindi web series

The characters of Telgi has been marvellously designed and very well played by gagan in all aspects like his voice his body shape his walk his talk his expressions all were perfectly matched and delivered

Little negatives like the pace was slow in some episodes, some where dullness was felt ,the much talked bar incident where Telgi blew up a large amount of money was ordinarily showed it could had been a large and extraordinary one with a known face in a dancer role ,climax is kept open which will upset the binge watchers

Make it a compulsion to watch.

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.

Scam 2003 the telgi story is a biography crime drama series directed by tushar hiranandani.

In one word, its definitely good. Yes, it cannot match the heights reached by scam 1992. Gagandev riar gives an outstanding performance as 'abdul karim telgi', so do the other actors. But the charactererisations of characters other than telgi are not strong enough to make you feel anything substantial. There are also many screenplay loopholes and staging problems in the second half. The downfall is not as interesting as the rise. The series makes quite a lot of criticisms on governments and political power and those feel relevant till date.

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.

Takes its time to get build up, but quickly gets seriously interesting how the story unfolds.

Mr Gagan has done compelling role and has given full justice to the character, which is not quite easy to portray.

The persona of the protagonist is top notch and is gradually evolved during the series.

Not to be compared with Scam 1 as both the stories are completely different. However, full marks to the actor for his brilliant and honest portrayal of the Telgi.

Specially the last confession was totally unexpected and made the closure perfect and great.

Concludes on a very Genuine note.

Well done !!
