If this story of Harshad Mehta was released before Scam 1992, it would have been a hit. Scam 1992 is in detail with actual names whereas The Big Bull is a comprehensive similar story with not real names.
1) Pratik Gandhi and Abhishek Bachchan have done justice to their roles as are Shreya Dhanwantari and Ileana D'Cruz.

How can u compare a 10 hour series with a 2/3 hour movie
The fault or the bad luck of the makers was the series released before
The story was shown in very fast way and many facts were not covered little edits were required as there were many unwanted scenes ..heavy dialogues were badly needed to grace up ..some good songs and emotions were missing
Abhishek acted ok but flashes of guru character was seen but he managed..Nikita could not carry the character of a strong supportive wife and illeana wasted the assigned strong character
The director could had shown some more interesting elements rather then showing love story but overall direction was good
Above all it's a good watch.

If u have already watched Scam.1992. The. Harshad. Mehta. Story
Than this will be the add on with new face and almost new script with new story sides. Hahaha..
. But i must say Abhishek Bachchan worked hard to play this role and all actors worked good.
. In a simple line - A Simple (another) attempt to present the one of the biggest financial scam of India.
. .
See what happen here is - if you put new face to an advertisement than some people loved it, some don't and some don't even reacts.
Giving 6 star for work and presentation and and acting of some.

If u watched scam 92 before this then definitely wont like this one In Scam 92 makers explain everything in details Scam 92 had a gutsy filmmaker who bravely taken the name of PM in this AB movie they skipped that part
Giving 1 less star coz of that Abhishek creepy laugh dont know who was the maker who passed that laughing scene. :(

Anwar Says : I have no option but to compare this Disney Hotstar , Abhishek Bachchan starrer, release today to Prateek Gandhi's 1992 Scam on mxplayer. The later was a much realistic and well researched portrayal of this all time biggest stock broker and this is what the audience of 2020 appreciates. Never heard of the director Kookie Gulati tried to show Harshad Mehta as larger than its canvas. The readers here born in late 60's and early 70's have seen and experienced Mr. Mehta . Middle class in 1990-92 , have earned from his endeavours/ manipulations but that cannot give him credit of building the economy of the country . It was the then FM , whose liberalisation policy is somewhat responsible for bringing the Indian Economy on track. I would not say that Mr. Mehta was an organised criminal but finding lacunae in present system primarily for one's own benefit cannot make you a hero. Dramatic Liberty might be accepted but projecting someone a fanciful face is much beyond the truth . Probably a Gujrati Director wouldn't have behaved in this way . Now the performance, Abhishek Bachchan as Mr .Mehta looks like DBA of Guru , the mannerisms, dressing, dialogue delivery and everything. Ileana D'Cruz has matured as an actor. I liked Nikita Dutta as Abhishek's wife but she has been shown young throughout the time, when Abhishek was shown growing old . Supriya Pathak has been wasted. Ram Kapur and Mahesh Manjrekar have nothing much to do . Sohum Shah as the younger brother is the character, who would impress you. Overall, I would recommend mxplayer anytime over Hotstar, if you wish to understand one of the unforgettable event of 1990's . Sorry Mr. Ajay Devgun ( Producer) , you may not be able to recover your cost .

- GoofsNewspaper headlines and inner content do not match. This is a period film set in the 90s. Two of the newspaper articles show same content on the same page and both are unrelated to the headline and relate to a news in 2018.
