Web-series based on the crime genre are quite popular. Farzi, Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story, and Money Heist are some popular ones on OTT. If you are a fan of the genre, then you should explore Rohit Roy-starrer Paper, which delves into the dark world of crime, specifically focusing on the notorious business of counterfeit money.
Paper is about the dark world of crime, specifically focusing on the illegal business of counterfeit money. Roy plays Abdul Karim Telgi, a convicted counterfeiter and the mastermind of the stamp paper scam.
A clever and ambitious man who gets involved in the illicit business of printing counterfeit money, Roy as Telgi is a multifaceted character who possesses the cunning and skills to survive in the underworld.
I strongly feel that Roy did a compelling and convincing job of capturing the essence of Abdul, demonstrating his versatility, and giving the story more substance. The show starts with Abdul's questionable origins and follows his rise to prominence in a field where those who own black money prosper.
As he gets more involved in the illegal trade, the web series examines Telgi’s relationships, the difficulties he encounters, and the moral quandaries he faces.
Kate Sharma, who plays the role of Telgi's lady love, and Parag Tyagi, who plays a police officer, also shine in their respective roles.
The web-series can be viewed anytime on Ullu, an Indian streaming platform. You can watch it through OTTplay Premium.
Although the plotline of both series is similar, as they are both based on Telgi's life, the cast, crew, and the depiction of the story in Paper is unique and creative. Also, Scam 2003 - The Telgi Story was released on Sony LIV in 2023, while Paper was out on ULLU in 2020.
