There is an unnecessary comparison btw a series to a film. #Scam1992 & #TheBigBull. Both can stand on their own. The Big Bull is watchable. #AbhishekBachchan showed the GURU mode.

Yes @mehtahansal has set the bar so high with #Scam1992 . But it is unfair to compare a 10 episodes detailed series with a 2.5 hrs movie. #AbhishekBachchan has done full justice to the role given to him. That’s why I find these so called Critics Chu*iya. #TheBigBullReview

Only #AbhishekBachchan ‘s acting and convincing performance will make you to imagine heavy ups and downs in life of #harshadmehta “1988 to 1992 when India was struggling of stable government and needed economy revival..Only such crime could have lifted and boosted market”👍
