Hacked

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!

This is a crap of a movie. A 19 year old, who a hacker with no control. And does all the crime possible without being stopped or caught. Only happens in the movie where everyone else are as dumb as brick. Looks like as if the targeted ones don't know how to turn off a wi-fi. They haven't heard of WAP2 protocols and they are biggest dumb holes on the planet. This Movie is only to be seen by the producer, director and the talentless actors. Every one else just skip it. Not worth a see even for free. Even a zero rating would be a favor.

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

The movie trailer is so much promising.. but the movie is waste of time nothing else..

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 She also is troubled at her workplace as her new CEO finds Sameera's style outdated, urging her to change.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.
