scam 1992 dialogue writer Karan Vyas discusses penning punch-lines that could steal hearts as seamlessly as films muse Harshad Mehta stole money

A still from Scam 1992
It is not often that we come across films whose power-packed dialogues complement its clutter-breaking storyline. If Hansal Mehta's Scam 1992 had an intriguing narrative to appease viewers, its dialogues have only enhanced the experience of watching Harshad Mehta's story unfold on screen.
Man of the moment, dialogue writer Karan Vyas says it is the persona of the film's muse that inspired his writing. "Harshad has a natural style and swagger. So, the dialoguebaazi of the show wasn't forced. The 90s' flamboyance strongly influenced people's language. I wrote to capture the essence of this man. Can you imagine a broker putting up his billboards on Marine Drive?" questions Vyas, still humoured by the absurdity of the situation.
