\"Mickey<\/a><\/p>\n

Starring:<\/strong> Manish Paul, Elli Avram, Manish Choudhary, Varun Badola, Puja Gupta<\/p>\n

Directed by:<\/strong> Saurabh Varma<\/p>\n

Music:<\/strong> Hanif Shaikh, Faizan Hussain, Agnel Roman<\/p>\n

We have often seen small-scale movies with an average star cast proving to be much more worthy than big-banner films. But sadly, such movies fail to make a mark on the box-office because of the low face-value. Saurabh Varma\u2019s directorial debut, Mickey Virus<\/em>, falls in the same category. A comic thriller, Mickey Virus<\/em> builds on an interesting idea of hacking and cyber-crime. It\u2019s a well scripted thriller that, for the first time, brings the virtual world to the silver screen.<\/p>\n

Plot:<\/strong> Mickey Virus, a lazy yet impressively brilliant hacker, is hired by the cops to crack a cyber-crime case. While trying to help the police he finds himself caught in a web of crime that he should hack to save his life!<\/p>\n

Performances<\/strong>: Manish Paul, the popular host of the dance reality-show Jhalak Dikhlaja, makes his debut with Mickey Virus<\/em>. Luckily, he has chosen the perfect role for himself. But even the perfect of roles cannot do wonders for a non-actor. Manish Paul is undoubtedly a very fine anchor but acting doesn\u2019t seem to be his forte. Nonetheless, a well-designed role saves him from what could have gone even worse. Well tried, Manish!<\/p>\n

Debutant Elli Avram looks glamorously beautiful and confident. Though her short role doesn\u2019t really let her character develop much, she manages to make her presence felt.<\/p>\n

The two people worthy of praise are Manish Choudhary and Varun Badola. Almost perfect in their roles, the two of them are pleasure to watch.<\/p>\n

Music:<\/strong> The soundtrack of Mickey Virus isn\u2019t something exceptional. The album has some soft romantic numbers that sound good to the ears.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s good:<\/strong> A fresh and intelligently woven plot that develops interestingly as a thriller. The soundtrack of the movie has some good romantic numbers.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s bad:<\/strong> As a comic thriller the movie lacks elements of humour that it was intended to have. The first-half holds some exaggerated sequences which could have been avoided.<\/p>\n

Manish Paul\u2019s debut flick, Mickey Virus<\/em> is an interesting concept which could have been promoted in a better way. Even though the film could not lure many to the theatres, it has been praised for its intriguing thriller element. In a nutshell, Mickey Virus<\/em> is fresh, engaging and quirky as a thriller. Definitely a one-time watch!<\/p>\n

Verdict:<\/strong> This virus will infect you for good!<\/p>\n
