Mickey Virus: Not firewalled enough

Watched a movie called ‘Mickey Virus’.This is certainly a movie of new generation whose aspirations are at another level and without any barriers.They are propelled by a seamless virtual world available through network and is without boundaries.

The theme is centered around a bunch of four young Delhi residents being tutored in hacking by a disgruntled Howard professor. The gang is enjoying its profession and is proud to be master of its art. Mickey assisted by Pancho, Floppy and Chutney are operating a hackers group.Mickey is a step ahead of others in terms of the skills. He is sought by Delhi Police for tracking and cracking murders of two foreign hackers in India. A team of one tough ACP and a easy going Inspector Bhalla (Varun Badola) is after Mickey to help them crack one hackers site and gain access to the ruthless and sleazy world of hackers for tracing the origin of two persons killed.

On the parallel track Mickey gets hooked by a lady who resembles his animated character ‘Kungu Chameli’. While he becomes ‘Deewana’ of the lady and romance is in the air, the investigation lingers.Dreamgirl ‘Kungu Chameli’ once seeks his help in reversing an erroneous transaction worth Rs 100 crore and generous Mickey hacks the bank site and saves her from the possible consequences at the job.

Next day Chameli is found dead in the same way as that of two hackers. Mickey and smart viewers make no mistake in realising that transaction was a sham and in reality the fraudulent transfer of money was done by using Mickeys hacking skills. Mickey is now in deep trouble and he banks upon his Professor Guruji and gang members to get him out of the mess.After the predictable climax, Mickey is able to nab the real culprits. He smartly uses technology to cover the ultimate disclosures by the culprits and transmits it live with the help from unexpected person.

The movie is classic example of well drafted script gone haywire by some poor direction, imperfect casting and average acting. These vital elements of moviemaking were lacking the professional touch. Amateur efforts fails bring out the best from the available resources. Music has no much role in the movie as the real hero of the film could have beeen script, if it were to be presented in desired way. Lead actors try a lot to do justice to their roles but the shortcomings are visible.Overall even with the shortcoming, this  could a good watch  if you are prepared to ignore them and enjoy an insider view of hackers world.
