This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

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!!!

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.

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

Mickey virus: Girls u r in 4r a treat. Its 'Wake Up, Sid' Tees n Jeans , d lean physique of Hugh Jackman and Ayushman Khurana's cuteness ol put together in 1 computer Hacker. Dis movie will start on a slow pace,der will a tinge of humour which will keep u seated in the hall. Thediction is geeky. Wid names like Floppy, Professor and substitutes like upload, google karle,etc . The dialogues are pleasantly entertaining.But the actual bomb (the climax) explodes nearing the end of the intermission. This movie is gonna test ur intellect. All those who enjoyed 'Aashique 2', 'Ranjhana', might not enjoy this movie but for those who enjoyed the intellect pleasing 'The Lunchbox' are gonna love this movie. It will have webs n webs of reasoning and actions intertwined for the audience to unravel as they watch the movie, with no clue whats gonna follow, the story twists and turns so rapidly. There are hackers, the police, a corrupt politician's bank account, some naive romance and an overall cuteness. The thrill v got when watching 'Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!' and 'Johnny Gaddar' will be experienced once again. The creative direction has catered well for the Indian Audience, making hacking look all colorful and animated and hence easily understandable. All actors could act for a change and act well. Right from the lead actor, Manish Paul, to the minors like the Taxi driver and the watchman have played their part well. It even gave us life lessons. Ha!Novel, logical, wid more homour and lil non-sense, and a mind boggling storyline. This one of a kind movie on Computer hacking is a must watch !
