This week there are two small budget films releasing among which one is Manish Paul's Mickey Virus (other is Sooper Se Ooper starring Vir Das). To be frank I am a big fan of Manish's sense of humor and thought Mickey Virus would be one of those interesting comedy films which runs only because of decent content. To a certain extent I was right but I forgot that Manish isn't the script writer of the film. #Kidding
Story - Mickey is a big 'Hackerbaaz' of Delhi and is appointed by Delhi police to find out about a gang who are going to start a disastrous mission soon. Mickey, who is also a lazy man, tries to avoid this work but somehow falls into the eyes of ACP Siddhanth. Now, how they tackle the mission and how mickey unknowingly falls into various twists and turns is what you should seriously go and watch. Where the first half is about Mickey, his Hacking tricks and love for Kamayani, the other half is exactly opposite with lot of twist and turns.
Performance-
Manish Paul aka Mickey - Manish has a good command over Delhi tone and I loved the way everyone spoke in the film. Truly Delhian!
Manish Tiwari aka ACP Siddhanth - I think his last good attempt was in Rocket Singh and this is now as same as that.
Varun Badola aka Inspector Devender Bhalla - He is actually the most interesting character of the film. I think all the brilliant dialogues in the films were spoken by him only. Truly superb.
Elli aka Kamayani - She did not have much to speak but made her importance felt all over the first half. Also, she is simply HOT!
Technical Aspect - A true Delhi is shown in the film with typical and quirky Delhi dialogues. Editing should have been a little crisp during the first half.
Positives - The 2nd half keeps you involved with it's twists and climax scene.
Negatives - A lengthy first half.
Final Verdict - Mickey Virus is a virus which hits you later in the 2nd half but it does hit you hard. Watch it one time in theaters but you can surly watch it on TV whenever it arrives. Avoid the too much of Hardware technicalities but enjoy the dialogues and the flow.
Rating - 3/5
Why You should watch Mickey Virus - Only because of the 2nd Half and the performance of the characters.
Why you should avoid Mickey Virus - If you hate the Delhi Lingo!
Business Ratings - Mickey Virus will earn it's bit as Manish Paul has a good set of fan following. I think it should do a decent business of 20-22cr. Delhi and Mumbai are the key areas of Business.
(The above business ratings are just predictions and verdicts are as per my views and knowledge.)
