Scam 1992 - The Harshad Mehta Story -2020- S01 ... [ QUICK » ]

Pratik Gandhi’s portrayal highlights Harshad’s philosophy: "Risk hai." (There is risk). It explores the psychology of greed and the high that comes with high-stakes gambling.

More importantly, it changed how we view financial crimes. It taught a generation of Indians terms like "ready forward deals," "bank receipts," and "circular trading." It argued—successfully—that Harshad Mehta was not an anomaly, but a symptom of a weak regulatory system. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) was overhauled only after his scam, much like the FBI changed after Al Capone.
