silvan-desouza Mickey Virus was quite a novel concept of hackers which however fell short of making a mark - courtesy the ending and few script errorsThe film seems to follow the concept of Vicky Donor of Punjabi slang here too we have an anchor making his foray into films and also the characteristics.The film has an interesting story which hooks you sadly the second half starts to drag but the worst is the amateurish handling of the climax which tosses the film.Direction is decent Music is okayManish Paul is no actor yet and has a long way to go but he does his role well, which is different from his anchoring, He has to improve a lot especially in emotions yet for debut it's fair. Alli Avram is not too convincing, Manish Chaudhary is as usual fab but getting typecast, Pooja Gupta is okay, Nitesh Pandey is good and others are okay
alshwenbear1 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.
Furquan Baig I hesitantly downloaded the movie from a torrent site assuming that it would be the same typical bollywood movie with similar lines and farce illogical love stories. But to my astonishment, it was not like that. The movie shows that bollywood has still some gems of creative work. From the very outset the story of the movie is not predictable as is habitual in contemporary bollywood movies. And this fashion advances till end.Story is revealed timely and slowly in the manner that you ll find no boredom till the end. TV anchor and débutant Manish paul has done a superb job and he has done justice with the role. Expressions are touchy and natural. Elli Avarm has brief role in the movie though, but she is charming and beautiful. Her figure is sexy but contrary she has no acting skills. But in Bollywood one actress can survive with this kind of show of body only,for, in Bollywood for a women body counts more than acting and hence she's good in that.Overall it's a good movie and recommended.
bobbysing A project completely dependent upon the already famous comic persona of TV actor-anchor, Manish Paul, MICKEY VIRUS is a fairly entertaining film if we keep aside its awkward and unconvincing climax ruining the fine build-up. It has an enjoyable first half, mostly providing the funny moments through its Computer-ish dialogues, having a strong youth appeal using the Delhi ambiance, which also lacks the perfection as seen in VICKY DONOR). Yes, the humour element in it takes a back seat since the film turns into a thrilling crime mystery post interval, still the racy pace doesn't let you feel the missing factor and the new twists in the story line keep the interest alive. However as the secret is revealed, it doesn't turn out to be that convincing or hard hitting at all, hampering the overall impact of an engrossing watch as it ends.Thankfully made on a fresh subject, the film begins on a shaky note but then goes on to deliver the promised humor constantly, mainly through its well written lines. Revolving around a computer hacker caught in a messy trap, it has some cool graphics, better than many other films of the past using the same element. At times romance disturbs the progression but the justification arrives later as the con begins and there are very few drops in its narration before the long climax. Both the background score & cinematography keep the energy going along with a few above average songs including "Sajna Ve".As expected, Manish Paul impressively is the part of almost all the entertaining sequences of the film and he once again proves his excellent comic timing in its debut film too. Elli Avram looks stunning but doesn't get much to do as per the script (except serving the glamour quotient of the film, as required). Out of the friendly group, Puja Gupta gets the maximum scenes and she is fine, whereas Raghave Kakkar, Vikesh Kumar and Nitesh Pandey (Professor) are just all right. Manish Chaudhari repeatedly delivers a similar kind of act as seen in his previous films but the one actor who comes up as a clear winner among the supporting cast is Varun Badola, who is simply lovable as the assisting inspector.As the first notable attempt from director Saurabh Varma, MICKEY VIRUS mainly scores for its novel subject, well worked upon lingo, entertaining first half and Manish Paul. However with a different & severely edited climax it could have been a much better venture for sure. Also with a subject majorly dealing with the city culture (hugely dependent on gadgets), it is going to find fewer takers in the interiors and smaller centers. So keeping this fact and the film's fresh, out of the routine subject in mind, I would like to rate it as a nice, well attempted metro entertainer, just missing the target due to its final reels.
