Scam 2003 Vol 2 Review Movie Talkies

Scam 2003 Vol 2 Review: Tushar Hiranandani's Scam 2003 Vol 2 is finally here! Scam 2003: The Telgi Story came in September 2023 and exceeded all expectations people had from Hansal Mehta's Scam 1992. When we thought that nobody could play the lead role as well as Pratik Gandhi, Gagan Dev Riar came and shut everybody's mouth. Scam 2003 Vol. 2 is again ruled by his solid acting, and he makes sure that those 3-3.5 hours of your life are spent on an acting performance that's worth it. Gagan Dev Riar continues to wow us in Scam V2, even though season 2 lacks thrills. However, there is more drama this time to cover up the loss.Abdul Karim Telgi (Gagan Dev Riar) is famous because of that infamous scam at a nightclub. He wanted to do business by being a rat (chooha), but after spending crores on a bargirl, he was exposed. His personal life is spoiled as his wife, Nafisa (Sana Amin Sheikh), has unofficially broken all bonds with him. Abdul has several cases against him, and he has to take care of business amidst several political conspiracies too. A new SIT team led by Jai Singh (Nirahua) is brought on board, only to divert attention from Telgi's case and keep it inactive on the table. However, this team of toothless lions turns into hunting lions and hunts Abdul down to the last point. As there are multiple attempts to make him talk, Telgi remains rock solid on his side, but he has a hidden agenda, which he only knows. Will he be able to make himself clear of everything? Find your answers in the series.Scam 2003 season 2 is written with a dramatic mindset. They didn't think much about thrilling factors because that's already been done in the first 5 episodes. Yes, the previous one looks better only because of that. Here, we have more drama as the narrative shifts gears into the second innings of Telgi's life. It's about his downfall. The first season was about his rise, and season two is about his downfall—that's exactly how you should be dividing your story into two parts. So, I won't blame writers for that because they wrote a complete story. It's just that we have this two-part term getting popular (even in movies), so somehow the experience also gets divided into two parts. I'd say it depends on your taste; what part do you like more? Thriller or drama? If you love both, then Scam 2003 season 1 and season 2 are like lunch and dinner for you. If you like either one of them, then you'll have only one dish to satisfy your appetite. Now, this is strictly about the genre and not the overall quality. Please keep that in mind.

Now why should I recommend this show? I asked myself, and the first thing that burst out of my head was "Gagan Dev Riar". You know what a great performance he gave in Scam 2003: The Telgi Story Volume 1. So brace yourself for another phenomenal performance from him. This time with more drama, more varieties, more shades, and more transformations. His character aged this time, so the nuances were difficult, but he caught them all very well. The looks are apt, as are his body language and accent. He showed his class again, and now I think we should start taking him seriously as a long-term talent rather than just a one-project wonder. Sana Amin Shiekh also goes through a transformation, and even though she has very few scenes, she has done a pretty good job. Nirahua appears late but has enough crackers to brighten up the sky, while Mukesh Tiwari is a firecracker himself. We have two new cop bombs this Diwali! Bharat Dabholkar is fine, Shashank Ketkar is good, Nikhil Ratnaparkhi is highly impressive, Iravati Harshe is kick a s s, Aman Verma finds a good balance, and Vidyadhar Joshi and Nandu Madhav do well in their supporting roles.Scam 2003 Vol 2 has the same fine score we have been revising over and over again. It's used less this time, though. The cinematography looked decent, and the editing had fairly sharp edges. The sound design could have been better. The best outcome is the production design. The era, the documents, ideas, and reimaginations of the known characters are very impressive. The only thing I missed was the suspense over Telgi's story. Since it's based on true events, we all know about the story even before watching the series. So there's nothing unexpected. We knew about Abdul's end, so there is no point in waiting for 10 episodes for that. His lame attempt to clear himself from his guilty conscience by saying that he did not rob poor people, but government was horrible. Then the Ishq x Risk reference didn't make much sense either. All you could enjoy is the way his story is told and what a fantastic job Mr. Hiranandni has done. The presentation is what makes this predictable story watchable. Riar and the cast take it further up and make it a must-see. The dialogues are catchy yet again, though not up to the level of season 1. Volume 2 is filled with rich cinematic moments such as drama, emotions, patriotism, humanity, and redemption. Thankfully, they stuck to the facts and took a slight liberty in filmmaking so that we all can enjoy Telgi's scamming story without being scammed! Overall, a good watch indeed.
