Mickey Virus (2013)

Wonderful character development!

Very disappointed :(

The greatest movie ever made..!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is what happens when millions and millions are not invested! Minds get creative, and within the right direction the result is smart, funny, and twisted.Even though this movie is cheesy on its elaboration by Hollywood 's standards, it has all the elements to keep the interest from beginning to end, the plot is a little predictable (if you have paid attention to details) Still, it manages to mislead in some of the predictions that any of us would have made. Seeing that most of the reviews where from India, I almost did not watch it; happily I made the right decision! The first part of the movie is kind of funny, and the screen is filled up with a beautiful,actress, and as commonly on Indian movies the songs serve a double porpoise, filling into the fun and romantic aspect as much as the dramatic and adventurous theme.Certainly, if you are looking for an uplifting time, this is a movie for you (still be ready for some unfortunate moments for some of the characters that we get to care, but resembling some natural things… I just have to say: "c'est la vie". Overall if you are interested on foreign-entertaining movies as I am this one will provide for a good time.

I am a huge fan of thriller movies but I was always disappointed by the lack of quality thrillers from Bollywood. Most of the Bollywood films are Rom-coms & over the top action. This movies comes as a surprise, as one of the first cyberpunk thriller movie from Bollywood. The premise is decent, but don't expect to see real world hacking, just a few random terminal sessions and swoosh banking sites hacked, computers cracked etc.. This movie is shot in Delhi & the local slangs are spot on. Manish Paul is surprisingly good in his first venture, he carries role surprisingly well. Director has done a decent job too. Overall a Good film.

I hardly get any time for writing reviews nowadays, due to my busy work schedule. But after watching this movie, I really wants to write review as none of IMDb reviewer is interested to write for this movie. This movie is really very interesting with flavors of Comedy, Internet, Emotions, Mystery and my City Dilli. Though few scenes are not as good as expected and looks like a cool dude firangy girl sort of boring love story but once the story starts its pace, its amazing. I will not ruin any sort of suspense or write any spoiler but its not a average comedy or love story, its basically a high tech murder mystery movie with lots of emotions. On Acting part, I am amazed with the work of Manish Paul, I hate him as an anchor but here he is superb, and the scene before interval when he visits actress apartment made u cry. Varun Badola as a Cop gives comic relief here. Manish Chauahn looks like Aamir of Talaash and a very serious cop. Rest all characters are okay and did superb work as newcomers. Songs and their timing are fantastic. Director proves his smartness in his debut venture. And I love my Dilli locations.... I hope more these sort of small budget movies will come in future and entertain us. All The Best Mickey Virus for Box Office Business. Rating 9/10

Welcome to the world of hackers and Trojans – with enough idiosyncrasy and meticulousness, writer/director Saurabh Varma narrates a story which is seldom witnessed on the silver screen. With its titular resemblance to the sleeper hit of 2012,Vicky Donor , Mickey Virus is a complete departure in its theme and subject which delves into the murky world of cyber-crime and hacking keeping the humor quotient intact.Set in New Delhi, the plot is centered around a lazy mastermind , a genius hacker Mickey Arora (Manish Paul ) who is hired by the Delhi Police led by ACP Sidhant (Manish Chaudhary) and his assistant Bhalla(Varun Badola) to crack the racket of the cyber gangsters who have created ruckus in the city through serial murders. Mickey is a slacker , hangs out with his gang – Chutney, Floppy and Panjo who are whiz-kids in their own admissions and is smitten by the sexy lady, Kamayani(Elli Avram). After a lot of resistance due to his work-phobic attitude, he succumbs to the demands of the ACP who is hell-bent on this 'Hacking ki duniya ka Sehwag' but little does Mickey know that he is sucked into the whirlpool of dangerous nexus with life-threatening ramifications. What happens next !Varma picks the nuances of Saddi Dilli with flourish – the grey marketplace of Nehru place where people even sell 'W' alphabet of the keyboard as 'M' (After all , its oolta M !)are captured with great details. He has done his research on the subject well and this becomes more apparent from the plethora of information bombarded on the average viewer related to internet and software lingoes(server crash, firewall, buffering..).After a few funny sequences in the beginning, he throws us altogether into a different orbit of intrigue and mystery and keeps us riveted till the climactic revelation. There are particularly no glaring flaws but I wish Varma could have been more innovative while dealing with the serious portions and the romantic angle involving Manish and Elli. He appears myopic while handling the cat-and-mouse game where every tick of the clock matters.Manish Paul is a delight to watch ! As a débutant (with a passable cameo in Farah Khan's disastrous TMK as Master India), he exudes charm and confidence with his impeccable comic timing.His vocal rendering(Pyar China ka maal hai ) is equally quirky !Elli Avram looks jaw-dropping gorgeous and is sincere in her part. Mickey's hack-gang comprising of Raghav Kakkar, Puja Gupta and others give him a credible support.Manish Chaudhry is very convincing as the stern cop, but the real combat machine here is Varun Badola who triumphs with his ingenious straight- faced humor and mouths crackling dialogues with typical Haryanwi accent.If suspense thrillers are your cup of cake, then go for it – You will have a good time ! And that's not all, there is a scope for its sequel too !My Rating : 3/5
