Call
it
a
crime
or
whatsoever,
hacking
is
an
art.
And
the
masterminds
or
the
so-called
creators
behind
such
high-profile
robberies
call
themselves
hackers,
the
big
daddys
of
the
world
of
cybercrime.
For
decades
now,
we
have
seen
so
much
of
movies
having
those
hacking
technology
stuffs.
After
Hollywood,
the
internet
keedas
seems
to
have
bitten
our
Bollywood
filmmakers
too,
who
are
recently
showing
interest
in
the
science
fiction
and
tech
genre.
One
such
latest
release
is
Saurabh
Varma's
Mickey
Virus,
that
has
debutants
Manish
Paul
and
Elli
Avram
in
the
leads.
We
are
not
saying
that
Mickey
Virus
depicts
the
true
motions
of
computer
hacking,
but
this
one
is
impressive
in
it's
own
way.
Mickey
Virus
is
certainly
not
all
about
light-hearted
giggles
and
fun,
it's
a
well-crafted,
engaging
thriller.
Story:
When
the
good
for
nothing
yet
street
smart
dude
Mickey
Arora
(Manish
Paul)
gets
hired
by
ACP
Siddhanth
(Chaudhari)
for
cracking
cyber
crime
cases,
little
did
the
former
know
about
the
dangers
awaiting
him!
Though
Mickey
isn't
really
keen
on
working
with
the
cops,
he's
on
the
other
hand,
head
over
heels
in
love
with
Kamayani
George
(Elli
Avram).
But,
an
innocent
Mickey
gradually
gets
trapped,
after
a
murder
takes
place
and
he
gets
accused
for
the
crime.
Mickey
goes
on
a
run,
but
soon
realises
the
actual
game
plan
and
the
also
learns
about
the
real
game
planner.
What's
the
game
plan?
and
who
get's
murdered?
While
the
first
hour
tilts
towards
light
moments,
the
drama,
or
the
thrill
in
the
tale,
comes
up
in
the
post-interval
portions.
Mickey
Virus
boasts
of
an
engaging
content
from
the
commencement
to
conclusion.
Based
on
the
interesting
idea
of
hacking,
Mickey
Virus
also
has
it's
share
of
madness
and
vellagiri.

Manish
Paul

full
marks

nothing
more

a
plastic

ignored

resembles

ways.

Manish
Paul

lacks
a

screen
