The film "Harshad Mehta" follows the story of a man named Harshad Mehta, who starts as a petty "Jobber" in Mumbai's Gujarati-dominated suburb of Ghatkopar. He becomes a skilled market player and starts his own consulting firm, Growmore, to exploit the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) for his own gain. The film is spread out over ten episodes, providing an exhaustive and detailed look into the twelve years of Mehta's rise from 1980-1992.
The film is intriguing and has a heroic quality to it, with Harshad being referred to as 'BSE ka Bachchan' and sometimes as a victim with too many enemies. However, the show misses the real stories of retail investors who suffered the most due to Mehta's uninhibited greed and denial that his bubble would burst one day.
The film's leading actor, Pratik Gandhi, delivers a charmingly shrewd and effortless portrayal of Harshad Mehta, with the right amount of Gujarati touch to his Hindi. Shreya Dhanwanthary is excellent as the righteous journalist, while Ivan Rodrigues lends support as Sucheta's former colleague and boyfriend. Hemant Kher is suitably restrained as Mehta's younger brother Ashwin, often discarded as too timid by Harshad. Anjali Barot is Harshad's supportive wife.
Visually, the film adds a treat to the old world charm of the 80's and 90's Bombay, with faultless production detail and intriguing cinematography. The film also includes business jargon and Gujarati phrases, making it a riveting watch.
