Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

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.

Mickey Virus is India's first film about hacking, and its a very well made one. Mickey Virus starts off as a comedy but slowly the turns and twists in the 2nd half make it a crime thriller. The Films main story is about a bunch foreign hackers dying in India, why are they dying, who is behind this game is the main plot. Acting wise its a Manish Paul show all the way, in his debut performance he impress, and shows glimpses of a star. First time director Saurabh Varma proves his talent in the first film itself, he makes a fine film, with a complex and fresh story.Overall if your looking for a good film with good entertainment and you are tired of the run of mill bollywood films, watch mickey virus you will not be disappointed!!!

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.

Mickey virus is basically a story based in Delhi where youngsters deal with this world virtually behind a computer screen that is hacking. It also has a hackers gang and a few cops trying for a 100 Crore Rupees heist. This movie deserves a lot but wont get what it deserves due to lack of awareness. For me Manish Paul was amazing and Elli Avram as KungFu Chameli was charming. All the other characters were good and funny like "floppy,chutni,pancho" etc. Manish as Mickey for me was way beyond my expectations, as a host he is awesome and as an anchor too whether its a reality show or an award show. "Pyaar China Ka Maal Hai" sung by Manish himself and "Tose Naina" sung by Arijit Singh are melodious. Overall its gonna be a fine evening/weekend watching it. Its fresh and I salute the Director Saurabh Verma for trying a not so common new subject. 8 out of 10 stars.
