![]() Smart, shrewd and a fast-learner, Harshad soon becomes the Dalaal Street wizard, who knows how to play the market for his own gains. ![]() But Harshad’s dreams are far bigger to be contained here and after doing all sorts of odd jobs, Harshad realises that the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) is his ticket to super success. Living in a cramped one room apartment in Mumbai’s Gujarati dominated suburb of Ghatkopar, the Mehtas are a regular Indian family. Just like every rags to riches story, Harshad Mehta’s story too begins quite humbly. REVIEW: In his opening scene itself, director Hansal Mehta shows us a huge hoarding that screams, ‘Harshad Mehta is a liar.’ But it’s not that simple and with each passing scene, it becomes amply clear that you will get a crash course in bulls, bears and banking before you find out the hows, whats and whys of Mehta’s massive scam. STORY: Based on the book written by former Times of India journalist Sucheta Dalal and her husband Debashis Basu, ‘Scam 1992 The Harshad Mehta Story’, chronicles the meteoric rise and the inadvertent fall from grace of the controversial stockbroker Harshad Mehta - the man who became the face of India’s 1992 stock market scam worth 5,000 crore rupees that rocked the nation.
