Casting coup
10 January 2021
Despite obvious regional (Gujarati) bias, the series does well in recreating the happenings from 30 years ago in a believable and engrossing way. The actors playing the key protagonists (Mehta and Dalal) are new, but you hardly notice that - they get into the grooves of their characters and live them, both Prateek and Shreya. Especially see a good future for the Shreya as an intelligent actor in future movies. But the rest of the cast (almost) was spot on! The only odd ones were Satish Kaushik and Rajat Kapoor - their established images overpower the characters they are playing. In a docudrama/biopic it's better to get less known actors to prevent this.

What I also liked is that they didn't dilute the financial terminologies to suit a larger audience. It ensures that those with some understanding or interest in capital markets will not find this dumbed down. All in all, an excellent watch.
