Mickey Virus
Critic reviews and ratings
-
The plot is intelligent; there are laughs, some suspense and surprises too. Though direction is not error-free, it could've been more innovative and he often tips the balance between comedy and thriller.
-
...a well-made, engrossing thriller that should be liked by the youngsters.
-
The comic-thriller is fast paced, constantly taking you from one unexpected situation to another. The dialogue is witty, full of repartees and with many smart one-liners that most characters, even the supporting ones get to mouth and display their comic mettle.
-
For the crisp writing, humour and Manish Paul’s antics this one’s worth your time.
-
What seemed like a smart script, with quick-witted dialogues, falters at many levels and even starts looking foolish and falling all over itself by the time it reaches the final point. As if a good script has been attacked by a nasty virus.
-
...a passable film.
-
A comic thriller that wants to do all the right things but misses as many times as it makes its mark.
-
Unfortunately the innovation of the plot wears out too soon. The writers seem to hit a sort of roadblock in the second half not knowing where to take the story.
-
The problem lies in execution. Mickey Virus tries too hard to straddle the two worlds of cutting edge tech and laid-back teeny Delhi in a Bollywood film.
-
...is based on an interesting idea, the plot is good and the film is relevant at a time when cyber crime is increasing. However, with weak direction, even the best of stories cannot be told well.
-
...if stripped of all tripe treatment had the scope to be a thoroughly entertaining film but falls short and ends up disappointing the audience.
-
...a film that holds attention for some time, before it gets stretched into a too-long second act.
-
The film dawdles between being a comedy and a heist film and could have done with a tauter screenplay and tighter editing.
-
Problem is, this film is never more than just a good pitch. A concept in search of a plot.
-
...works in fits and starts. It could have been so much more.
-
...takes just too long to establish its setting and settle down before the action takes off in the second half, by which time it’s a tad bit late.
-
Uneven writing doesn’t allow the infectious charm of Manish to spread.
-
The trick is to convey a sense of breathlessness, and Saurabh Varma’s Mickey Virus manages this only in spurts.
-
For an idea as good as this, the overall story could have been better.
-
Without any authentic ring to it, and with artless performances and a predictable story, the last thing I could do, while sitting through its more than two hours of running time, was suspend disbelief.
-
Debutante director Saurabh Verma has a half-baked script in his hand. A little more research and hatke presentation would have made the difference between a one star rating and three stars.
