Abhishek Bachchan’s new movie ‘Big Bull’ has finally been released. It is based on a real story of Scam 1992 of ‘Harshad Mehta’. The movie took the idea from the popular web series ‘Scam 1992’, but the idea couldn’t work for Junior Bachchan. As per reviews, the movie fails to capture the original feel of the stock market and even the feel of web series directed by Hansal Mehta.

Overview

IMBD Ratings: 4.8/10

Story:

The story of the film revolves around ‘The share market king- Harshad Mehta’ in which Abhishek Bachchan plays the role of Hemant Shah. The story reveals the ups and downs faced by Hemant Shah in the stock market. It revolves around the Shah’s character and states how Hemant shah in a short span became a billionaire of the country and how his dreams came to an end. In the movie, Hemant Shah was a stockbroker, who manipulated the entire market and some loopholes through his smart strategies. The movie captured the 1992 scenario and scam, in which Hemant Shah manipulated the entire banking system of India and created a massive run in the stock market.

Ileana D’Cruz plays the role of Indian business journalist ‘Sucheta Dalal’, who smartly exposed the unethical strategies built by Hemant Shah in front of the country.

But, the movie fails to represent the real feel and entertainment as directed by Hansal Mehta in his web series.

Performances of the Characters:

Abhishek Bachchan tried hard but failed to portray the real image and personality of Harshad Mehta because of the slow-paced screenplay by the director.

Actor like Ram Kapoor, Samir Soni, Mahesh Manjrekar, Saurabh Shukla and the rest also failed to represent the real characters of the story. These actors have performed outstandingly in their past movies, but when you watch this story, you will feel a lack of talent.

Review:

In the movie, Abhishek Bachchan tries to deliver his best performance but could have done more hard work to fulfil the desired impact on the story.

The biggest disadvantage to the movie is that the director fails to portray the Gujarati essence in the characters and story. Basically, the writing style of the story is poor and the dialogues are not up to the mark as compare to the web series.

Ileana D’Cruz as a journalist named Meera Rao, created an honest impact on the entire movie, even she played well to deliver the real character of Sucheta Dalal.

In the Big Bull, the songs are the only part that can entertain the audience but they had no meaning to the movie.

In the movie, there are some amazing scenes too but it does not create the desired impact on the entire movie. However, the cinematography by Vishnu Rao has created some amazing effects.

Overall, the movie tried a decent attempt to entertain the audience and portray the story of the Harshad Mehta, known as Big Bull and Bachchan of BSE in the ’90s. Even the actors tried much but don’t expect high returns from the actors as well as the story of the film.
