Scam 2003 - The Telgi Story

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 !!

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!

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.

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.
