Hacked

After checking the reviews., if you still watch this you are obv going in with low expectations. Hacked can still manage to disappoint you, especially how they dealt with this in the end. Its a real O..M..G moment, you keep asking why why why.. lol

The movie doesn't make any sense. I'm not ignorant when it comes to tech. On the contrary. I'm a Computer hardware engineer and I completely failed to comprehend what the movie is about. Close ups of circuit boards don't mean much without a coherent plot. What got hacked? I thought the whole point of hacking is that you don't have to enter a building to acquire information? Nope not entertaining. Just annoying in the extreme. Even the reviews don't make sense. Lots of name dropping and Indian references but few well written or comprehensive reviews. Ok you can't always make sense of the nonsensical but this whole thing appears to be a disaster. Watch it if you don't believe me. Read the reviews if you're still unsure? lol wtf!

I dint even know how why people have given 10 stars in review. Story has been copied from several films. Abysmal screenplay without any Intensity, Horrendus storyline and just too much overacting was icing on disaster. China Khan was looking like she is acting in Saas Bahu serial, his friend in the same society was not able to proper dialouge delivery. Rohan did average job and cpuld have been little more intense.

Sameera Khanna (Hina Khan) is the editor of a fashion magazine. Her life is sort of complicated - she loves a much married film actor Om Kapoor (Sid Makkar) who isn't really committed to her, and two neighbourhood men, Rohan (Mohit Malhotra) and 19 year old Vivek (Rohan Shah) find her the object of their affection. She also is troubled at her workplace as her new CEO finds Sameera's style outdated, urging her to change. But the biggest problem Sameera faces is from the young Vivek, who is an ace hacker who wants to own and control her. In an inebriated state after a party at her place, she has an unintentionally passionate encounter with Vivek, handing him control over her life and putting him in the driver's seat, putting her reputation, career, privacy and confidence in a total disarray.

Hacked is about the dark side of social media and the digital world, where nothing in your life is private. Hackers can take charge of the reins through mobile phones, computers, digital cameras, etc., and leave you vulnerable, virtually at their mercy. The film is well conceived, but pushes the dark web and its effects on Sameera's life to an extreme, almost ridiculous level of despair and helplessness.

Young Rohan Shah's cocksure grin, hysterical laughter and overconfidence turn repetitive and irritating beyond a point, but if they were meant to purely elicit hatred with the hacker's character, the film does succeed. Hina Khan appears unusually prim and proper even in the most distressing circumstances, only with a few tears to shed. The 19 year old hacker waltzes with hapless women, men, other hackers, and even Mumbai police with so much elan and poise that all the world's self help gurus could seek some advice from him. Director Vikram Bhatt on the other hand could do with a little more by adding and element of practicality and plausibility to his plots to ensure the credibility of the subject.

If the protagonist is "hacked" by 19 year old so called "MIT Topper", just simply TURN OFF your home's WiFi. Problem solved.
