Scam 2003 - The Telgi Story

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.

The Telgi Story is a gripping, suspenseful, and eye-opening drama that tells the true story of Abdul Karim Telgi, the mastermind behind India's biggest counterfeiting scam. The series is well-made and well-acted, with Gagan Dev Riar giving a star-making turn as Telgi.

The series begins with Telgi's humble beginnings as a small-time salesman. He is a hustler and a dreamer, and he sees an opportunity to make a fortune by counterfeiting stamp paper. He sets up a complex operation and begins to print millions of rupees worth of fake stamps.

At first, Telgi's scam goes undetected. But as he gets more and more ambitious, he starts to attract attention from the authorities. The series follows the cat-and-mouse game between Telgi and the police, as they try to outwit each other.

Scam 2003 is a fascinating and cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and corruption. It is also a reminder that even the most elaborate scams can eventually be brought down.

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.

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.

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.
