Manish Paul Mickey Virus Movie Review and Rating
Movies on hacking are a novelty in Bollywood. And when an engrossing plot as this is heartily seasoned with guffaws and chuckles, it makes for a perfect getaway fare for the movie lovers. Debutant director Saurabh Verma's Mickey Virus is one such fair. But how far does it really manage to live upto its novel concept? Well, read on the review to know.

Story
Mickey Virus is a comic thriller set in urban Delhi. The story kicks off after Delhi Police encounters a case around hacking and begin a quest to find a computer hacker who can help them crack the case.
Top cop ACP Siddhanth (Manish Choudhary) bumps into Mickey Arora (Manish Paul), a lazy but street smart hacker and pursues him relentlessly to help them solve the case.
During the day, he runs his mother's grocery store and creates virus’s and other weird software at night. But he seeks to make it big in life through short cut.
Little does he know that ACP Siddhanth and Inspector Bhalla (Varun Badola) are tough cops to crack.
Analysis :
The beginning half of the movie is totally dedicated to Mickey, his liaisons with Kamayani [Elli Avram] and friends. However, the movie gathers steam post-interval. There are times when you wonder why debutante director Saurabh Verma wasted a chunk of movie around the character of Mickey and his sweetheart. It's only in the later half that you realize that Verma was only setting the stage for the turn of events due in the latter half.
True to its genre, the movie gathers pace and alters tracks, with a string of unanticipated twists-and-turns thrown in like a murder, the ambiguity behind the murder, the chase and so on.
The climax is nerve-racking, “with the identity of the actual perpetrators catching you completely unaware.” However, once the identity of the killers are revealed, the movie falls flat, because of the amateurish treatment of the story.
This being Saurabh Verma's first attempt, his proficiency is appreciable in bits and parts. Music is functional and a few dialogues do provoke chuckles.
Performance :
Manish Paul, quite a TV heartthrob, does a great job of playing a geeky college brat and even manages to pull off the emotional sequences rather well. Elli Avram is good enough. Puja Gupta is okay. Manish Chaudhari impresses, but its Varun Badola who steals the show.
Final Word:
All in all, Mickey Virus is a well-made, engrossing thriller. A can-be-watched movie!
