Durgesh Tiwary’s View : > When I watched the trailer planned to watch this movie because of story of Harshad Mehta and Scam 1992 web-series which I have watched recently
Movie follows the life and times of Hemant Shah a smalltime stockbroker, who manipulates the loopholes in the country’s archaic banking system to create a massive bull run on the stock exchange. But at a time when the Indian economy was taking its big leap towards liberalization, it was only a matter of time before Hemant Shah’s dream run, ended in a nightmare.
Film begin on engaging note and it keeps you engage with it’s thrills but after an hour film loses it’s plots and not progressed as I expected and also climax is not up to the mark because it was bound to compare with super hit web-series Scam 1992. My View on this movie Time Pass!!
