Hacked

Vikram Bhatt needs to do much better than this. Knowing his genre - which is all about relationships and behavioral psychology in all his productions -- he could have made this 'Hacked' movie much more intense than showing off all the teenage brat who is smitten by love and is also a master and know-it-all hacker. And all until he is 19 yrs old - there is no trace in the society, nor in the family and with no friends - that he is a pure genius hacker who can outsmart MIT Harvard MBA Cybersecurity specialist!!! Nothing to be impressed by showing all these monitors and control center and how this 19 yr old knows how to spend money and operate all this. Ofcourse, Indian parents in USA are not aware of the bank transactions nor where this teenager is spending money - typical Indian parents I must say - that are only seeking the 'Certificates' in all the video calls they make. Sheer stupidity - but its good watch when you are Quarantined in the house with the Coronavirus.

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.

Vikram Bhatt did every thing wrong in this movie. it seems his creativity is hacked by c grade filmmaker Kanti Shah. Plot is poorly hacked from many Hollywood and Korean movie but you need brain to create juicy from stolen fruits. Big let down by Vikram Bhatt as a writer and as a director also. He seems confused that he is making movie for theater or making another cheap web episode for App.

Plz vickram, do a favour to the world. Dont make any movie from now on. Just wastes tym and money fron both of us. Songs were great. Do some albums and release it. Thats enough.

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 She also is troubled at her workplace as her new CEO finds Sameera's style outdated, urging her to change.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