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.

We can all agree that it is hard to top something like Scam 1992, but this show unfortunately does not meet those standards.

Don't get me wrong, I was quite entertained throughout and was keen to watch the next episode by the end of each one, but there was a different feeling when watching 1992.

The show starts well, with a story that is quite simple to follow, not very technically, but it becomes just political by some point.

1992 was able to balance the scam, politics, and media well together, but this felt off, and the filmy dialogues in this series just remind you of Bhushan Bhatt, tbh.

I don't feel like we see the lavish aspect of the main character when he gets success, unlike Harshad, who got a very expensive high-rise. Nor do I feel the downfall; it just feels meh.

The timeline is kind of all over the place, jumping years just like that didn't really work.

The characters get you thinking who is who, and I'm not convinced by their relationships, unlike 1992, where we can see actual chemistry.

But we can agree that they don't really show much about the scam; they just focus on politics, which isn't that interesting at some point.

See, it was entertaining to watch the show, no doubt, but it doesn't stick with you. Rewatchability is low, unlike 1992, where there isn't much memorable in terms of dialogues.

The environemnt, doesnt really do justice - i forget where i am in the show in terms of location because they dont really give time to showcase the scenery or landmarks.

Sure the scam amount is very large but it doesnt feel "big" enough. 500 cores feels much bigger than it is.

For those who watched 1992, I still recommend you watch this, but you won't get the same satisfaction.

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.

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 !!
