The Big Bull

It's a descent movie with avg acting by Abhishek Bachchan...when we have a benchmark set by previous bull movie, it doesn't beat that....

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 .

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 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.

A decent movie based on true events but more of fiction as its disclamimer suggests. Good bgm and overall score of the movie. Abhishek Bachan though playing himself and not Harshad Mehta has managed a very good performance. 2nd half a bit thrilling. Appreciation to the writers for some new turns given to the story. Direction by Kookie Gulati is very unique. The narration seems a bit more at pace. The overall scam is explained in the simpleest manner possible, so that a layman could understand it. Impressed by Sohum Shah s performance, new angle of the the character to be discovered in the film. Decently good film. Dont compare it with1992 Scam. That was a long detailed narration of the harshad mehta story. This is a short and new variant of the same story. A bit lenghty. And ofc if they would have got the rights for the original names and shares it would be more fun. Also, this version of harshad mehta refrred to as hemant shah in the film feels more villanious, it showcases the vices of Harshad Mehta quite well. Although his evil laugh is quite irritating. But the egoistic behavior is portrayed quite well.
