any recs for bollywood movies similar to fire walk with me?

hmmm. I haven't seen fire walk with me but im almost done with the first season of twin peaks + i think i understand the basic tone of that film. Based on that, I'd rec:

Qala by Anvitaa Dutt; has some problems with caste-blindness (like her other movie Bulbbul) but it came out the same year as Blonde (which many described as a failed FWWM wannabe) and was a better movie based on similar text.

Maya Memsaab by Ketan Mehta; i have NOT seen this one but I've seen clips + music videos from the movie + read reviews online and it seems very similar to FWWM. also this review lives in my mind rent-free

Edit: forgot to mention, in Maya Memsaab srk plays this young twink obsessed with the protag and from what I've heard he's very great <3

YOUR MONIES AND INVESTMENT CLAIMS MIGHT JUST GET SWOOPED AWAY. BEWARE OF SHARE FRAUDS

From Harshad Mehta to Ketan Parekh and so many more in between, there have been a number of well-documented stock and share market scams over the years. Such frauds could utilize any or a combination of methods from below:

Shell companies: Such entities use the names of established brands such as Apple or Reliance. They lure investors with the intention of defrauding them.

Boiler rooms: This is a high-pressure selling technique used to peddle speculative shares. Brokers often use this technique to push penny stocks which results in losses higher than the client can bear.

Pump and dump: In a world rife with fake news, misleading information helps pump up the price of certain stocks. When the stock hits a target price, they are then dumped for huge profits. Those who are left holding the stock suffer untold losses.

Insider trading: This is the criminal practice of using secret information to trade on the stock exchange for one’s personal profit. Even though regulations exist to help prevent this, it still exists in the market.

Churning: Brokerage firms often give wrongful advice to create additional brokerage which boosts their own income.

Financial statement fraud: A number of publicly traded firms manipulate their financial statements to overstate revenues, understate expenses, overstate corporate assets, understate existing liabilities, and more.

An unidentifiable fraud

A type of financial fraud that often goes unnoticed and unpunished is when unclaimed shares are claimed by persons who are not the rightful claimants for that holding.

To know more about how this situation comes to be, read our blog on unclaimed shares here (BEWARE OF SHARE FRAUDS).

Unclaimed shares and unclaimed dividends can be recovered by the rightful claimant. However, the problem stems from the fact that the claimants are often not aware that they can claim such financial instruments.

Fraudsters take out data of folios that have become inactive. In most cases, these folios only have the investor’s name or at the most, their father’s name mentioned, with no unique identity of the investor, whatsoever. This makes it easy for anyone to defraud. A fake ID and in many cases, just running around the system, is enough to get the job done.

The issue remains hidden, since there are no claimants for the stolen shares and dividends in the vast majority of cases. By the time rightful claimants came forward to make their claim, the shares had been sold by the fraudsters in a number of cases.

As a matter of fact, in most of the cases, these shares are in physical form, with the share certificates (typically bonus shares) lying undelivered with the registrar. The reason for this is being the original shareholder would have died, or changed the address, so no one is available to receive the shares at the address mentioned in the Register of Members of the company. The postal department will return the shares/dividend cheques to the registrar.

From 2001-02 to 2015-16, the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF) received Rs 1,274 crore in unclaimed shares and unclaimed dividends, according to government statistics.

Real-world implications of unclaimed shares fraud

Unless someone complains, the corporation may not even be aware that the shares have been unlawfully transferred. Often even the person defrauded does not realize that they have been defrauded.

The most recent such case is that of Britannia Industries where the value of unlawfully transferred shares is believed to be approximately Rs 18-20 crore. Similarly, unlawfully transferred shares worth Rs 2 crore were also identified in Asian Paints.

According to sources, such scams would not be feasible without the cooperation of personnel at the stock transfer agencies. Because the unclaimed shares are in physical form, the fraudsters will require the original holder’s specimen signatures before they can send them for dematerialization. That information is most likely derived from the share registrar’s records.

Let’s understand this more deeply with a real-world example.

A senior citizen (let’s call them CG) learned too late that her father, Nowroji Sorabji Sethna, had stock in a number of publicly traded firms. However, she discovered that the shares had been fraudulently transferred and sold by the time she sought the corporations for more information.

Sethna possessed over 10,000 Balmer Lawrie shares, which, together with a bonus issue, are worth over Rs 80 lakh at today’s market values. He also had stock in Delhi Cloth & General Mills (the parent business from which the DCM group was formed in the 1980s), CESC, and Walchandnagar Industries, among other enterprises. When CG emailed Balmer Lawrie for more information, she was told that Sethna’s name had vanished from the shareholder records.

CG was also made aware of a request for a change of postal address, the issuance of duplicate shares, and the dematerialization of shares. The only problem is that these requests were made in 2011 after Sethna had passed away in 1975. According to the information given by Balmer Lawrie, Sethna’s shares were ‘sold’ between May 2011 and February 2013. The original shareholder’s signature is required on the transfer deed accompanying the share certificate in the event of physical shares.

Balmer Lawrie made a bonus share issuance in the ratio of 3:4 in May 2013. Sethna was the recipient of 5,805 shares. Balmer Lawrie received a ‘request’ for dematerialization of the shares from Sethna in September 2013. Sethna sent the corporation another ‘request’ for duplicate share certificates for 6,340 shares six months later, and another ‘request’ for dematerialization of those shares two months later. And now there is no trace of any of those shares.

Balmer Lawrie argues that in processing the requests, it “relied on statements provided by the RTA and the corresponding depository participant, as well as papers given by the transferor/transferees.” It also wrote to CG, stating that Sethna’s address had changed unexpectedly. “The firm has been requesting the RTA for the aforementioned facts and copies of each of the documents in their possession, including the explanation for the change in the registered address of the shareholders,” Balmer Lawrie wrote to CG.

CG was unable to obtain the CESC shares to which she was entitled since they, too, had been unlawfully sold. Both CG’s brother and mother had stakes in Delhi Cloth and General Mills, and both died in the early 1980s. Since then, the corporation has been divided into three divisions. When CG requested information on the shareholding from one of the three group firms, they were told that the names of the two initial shareholders were no longer on the books. She was able to obtain her shares in Walchandnagar Industries only because a letter she sent to the firm asking for data on her father’s shareholdings arrived only a few days after the fraudsters had written to the company notifying them about the change in address.

STOP SITTING BACK !!

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE

Such a thing can happen to anyone. Imagine being scammed without even realizing you are being scammed. It is a scary proposition.

With the advent of demat accounts, this process has become even easier for those who intend to defraud. These agents employ illegal tactics to get shares that have not been claimed by the deceased’s legal heirs, convert them to demat form, sell them on the market, transfer the funds to bank accounts set up for the purpose, and withdraw cash. Typically, they take help of a series of transactions, and since the asset is fungible, no track record can be found.

Market regulator SEBI has launched a probe into the agents and companies who are involved in such nefarious activities.

However, as an investor, it is best to stay vigilant. Trustworthy professionals such as those at Infiny Solutions ensure that you always have all the correct information about your shareholdings and any holdings that may be due to you. Our team has access to a vast database and is thus able to identify the rightful claimants of unclaimed shares and unclaimed dividends. We help ensure that you get the money that belongs to you without any risk of being defrauded by unscrupulous agents.

40,000 Crore Scam That Never Existed!!

We’ve all heard stories about the infamous stock market scams and seen many movies and series based on them. Some watch them for entertainment, some watch them for gaining more insight, and some like me watch them for research purposes. As a finance student and stock market enthusiast, I was very intrigued by knowing how a very common man like Harshad Mehta became the stock market king. As my research progressed, I also came across the details of the 2001 stock market scam.

The articles that led me to start my research mentioned very odd statements which I am not sure why nobody noticed, most importantly How a 1000 CR Scam was publicized as a 40,000 CR Scam? I am going to cover all the shocking details in my article, so keep reading till the end.

What was the Ketan Parekh Stock Market Scam?

Ketan Parekh was a firm believer in the ICE industry (Information, Communication, and Entertainment) during the dot-com boom years of 1999 and 2000. This enabled him to show many more investors that his estimates were accurate. Various investment firms, foreign corporations, banks, and entrepreneurs entrusted him with their money while Ketan Parekh commanded the stock market from 1999–2000.

Because there were no basic rules and regulations, Ketan Parekh traded on the Kolkata stock exchange. He also hired numerous additional brokers to trade on his behalf and pay the commission. With these large quantities of money, he would buy a 20–30% stake in some lesser-known companies, causing their share prices to skyrocket and making them the talk of the town overnight. He would sell the shares once the price hit a specified level, reaping huge profits.

He began by acquiring Madhavpura Mercantile Commercial Bank shares to gain the bank’s trust when he sought a loan in the form of Pay Orders. At that time, the Reserve Bank of India allowed merchants to obtain a credit of about 15 crores. He pursued other financial institutions, such as UTI, to guarantee pay orders, which included their investments in HFCL, after successfully ripping off the price of MMCB’s shares.

THE KETAN PAREKH SCAM ON 2001

Ketan Parekh was a prominent stockbroker in India who was involved in a major stock market scam in 2001. The scam involved manipulating stock prices and engaging in insider trading in a coordinated effort to inflate the value of certain stocks.

Parekh was known for his close connections to prominent corporate leaders and politicians, and he was able to use these relationships to his advantage in the stock market. He used a technique known as circular trading, which involved buying and selling shares of certain companies in a way that created the illusion of high trading volumes and price movements, but in reality, the trades were mostly just between a few players, with little actual demand from outside investors.

Parekh and his associates also engaged in insider trading, which involved using confidential information to buy or sell stocks ahead of major announcements that would impact the price. By doing this, they were able to make significant profits at the expense of other investors who were not privy to the same information.

The scam was uncovered in early 2001, and it had a major impact on India's stock market. The prices of several stocks that were artificially inflated by Parekh and his associates crashed, causing widespread panic and leading to a sharp decline in the stock market.

Parekh was subsequently arrested and charged with fraud, forgery, and criminal conspiracy. He was also accused of manipulating the stock prices of several companies and siphoning off large amounts of money. He was eventually found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison.

The Ketan Parekh stock market scam of 2001 highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in India's financial system. It led to major reforms in India's stock market regulations, and stricter rules were put in place to prevent insider trading and market manipulation.

OUTCOME:

Ketan Parekh was detained right away and put on trial. For 15 years, or until 2017, he was forbidden from trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange. He had also been given a one-year severe prison term for his financial offences.

All Time Best Women Centric Films Of Bollywood

Hindi cinema has served as a mirror of its times, events, and the challenges the nation has faced for many years. Women in contemporary movies have gone a long way from being simple ornamental objects in movies, from occasionally being victims or powerless, to being powerful forces to be reckoned with. Hindi film actresses have established themselves as strong, confident, and powerful individuals who fight for their rights, speak up against injustice, uphold their dignity, and deserve what they do not receive. She too rejects this and resists.

Over the years, Hindi films have successfully portrayed how times and cultures have changed, whether it is the dramatic shift in the professions to which women have been exposed or even the current domestic violence against women. The ladies of Hindi films, from Meena Kumari to Vidya Balan, from Mother India to Lipstick Under My Burkha, have played a significant role in bringing about change in the nation. We provide you movies with strong female characters. Additionally, she is taking an active part in developing her own sense of self in society.

Women-focused movies of all genres were made by directors throughout this decade, and the public accepted them, enjoyed them, and even desired more of them. This is a fantastic illustration of how things are altering. Today we'll talk about some of the finest female-centric Bollywood movies that got people thinking and contributed to a lot of positive social change.

All-Time Best Women-Centric Films Of Bollywood

1. Mother India (1957)

The early Indian cinematic era includes the renowned masterpiece Mother India. This was likely the first widely watched movie to get acclaim both domestically and overseas. It was an unconventional movie at the time. It's regarded as one of Nargis Dutt's most famous and significant performances.

Poor rural lady Radha (Nargis) struggles against all difficulties to raise her two boys. The locals revere him as a deity and a symbol of justice. She murders her immoral son in accordance with her moral ideals in the sake of justice.

Known for directing the social epic Mother India, which won two National Film Awards, the Filmfare Award for Best Film and Best Director, and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, Mehboob Khan was a trailblazing producer-director in Indian film.

2. Mirch Masala (1987)

The film Mirch Masala, which was directed by Ketan Mehta, depicts the tale of Sonbai, a humble villager, portrayed by Smita Patil, who decides to refuse a request from Subedar, a strong officer played by Naseeruddin Shah, in order to avoid his bad eye.

The village chief's wife, played by Deepti Naval, protests against her husband's oppression and his wish to send their daughter to school. A powerful tale of women's emancipation in backward times. This is a singular illustration of how hard it is for women to survive.

3. Bandit Queen (1994)

The movie is a biography based on the life of Phoolan Devi, an Indian dacoit who was imprisoned in 1983 and who is played by Seema Biswas. The Indian police accused him, and the populace transformed him into a legend.

This is the tale of a lady who battles all male crimes, including those done by police and thugs. She eventually defeats them all and shows herself to be a powerful lady. India's Bandit Queen: The True Story of Phoolan Devi, a movie based on Mala Sen's biography, was directed by Shekhar Kapur.

4. Astitva (2000)

The Mahesh Manjrekar-directed film Astitva exposes India's pernicious social structure. It brings to light societal problems like extramarital relationships and marital abuse that have never been freely discussed.

Aditi Shrikant Pandit, a character played by Tabu, is encouraged by her future daughter-in-law, Namrata Shirodkar, as she searches for her identity outside of marriage while being separated from her husband and kid. She eventually exits the house as well, standing by her mother-in-law.

5.  Chandni Bar (2001)

Chandni Bar sheds light on the oppressive and hopeless lives of several Mumbai women who are entangled in a labyrinth of crime, prostitution, dance clubs, and the underworld. In the movie, Tabu, who plays Mumtaz, strives to offer her kids a better future, but she is ultimately overcome by the circumstances. It is a nerve-wracking story of the reality experienced by women in particular regions of Mumbai, directed by Madhur Bhandarkar.

6. English Vinglish (2012)

The protagonist of English Vinglish is a dedicated homemaker named Shashi Godbole. Shashi puts her all into her career and is a fantastic mother, wife, and housewife, yet her husband and daughter frequently disappoint her. Shashi's lack of English language proficiency is the cause of his actions.

During a journey to the United States, Shashi picks up the English language and her family's perception of her changes. Sridevi plays the role of Shashi Godbole in the movie, which is directed by Gauri Shinde.
