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.

PREDATORS ARE LURKING IN THE DIGITAL WORLD, ATTEMPTING TO CONTROL ALL OF YOUR LIFE
msunando14 July 2020
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 She also is troubled at her workplace as her new CEO finds Sameera's style outdated, urging her to change.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.

Baseless Movie
adityakhatri-8096214 February 2020
mentally hacked movie.
amarjaat-882798 February 2020
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.
Poor, Pathetic & Super Abysmal
rajanikantdubey14 April 2020
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.
O...M....G
kamal009410 April 2020
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
Plz stay out of making movies

You won't regret it!

Hacked follows the story of Sameera Khanna whose life becomes living hell after he rejects the proposal from 19-year-old Hacker, Vivek. Well, Movie is quite interesting and does deliver a strong message as it shows the dark side of social media. It's one of the relevant movies of recent times. Rohan Shah as Vivek has done a great job. Hina Khan is Gorgeous as always. Some of the Songs and Dialogues are really very impressive. It's a decent thriller on Cyber-Crime having a good direction. It's not that bad and not that great either but you won't regret watching. Recommended! 😄
Doesn't make sense.
doktorwirefly28 July 2020
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!
Perfect movie for those who want to experience something new.
rish20062 May 2020
This movie is definitely something new showing how the world nowadays is technology based. It's about a boy with strong technology hacking skills who aims to destroy a girls life technologically after rejecting his proposal. Worth it if you want to see something new.
Good potential
hnikhil-4951926 July 2022
Story and potential of good sci-fi story but laggy screenplay and poor direction made this film bad but it is good for one time watch i watched this film only for Hina Khan i loved her 😍 in this film specially that liplock kiss scene but the lead actor could have been good.
Could not give it a zero
jos-dsouza4 April 2020
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.
Pathetic, Illogical Softcore po*n

Joke named hacker

mnsh-1171710 April 2020
completely meaningless
uroojfatima-187389 June 2020
Well i have never given a movie 1 rating but this one forced me to do this, this movie have shown everything except the HACKING! like what? does even vikram bhatt aware of what MIT topper actually looks like? MIT students ace the grades, and perfect in all fields not like him repeating his last year and just pro at hacking... and thi sam cant even turn off her wifi for gods sake! and the most important thing if sam said he cant afford 2-3 lakhs bag for his servant then how did he afford the WHOLE SET UP of that big TV screens ad computers? there were 13 computers in his room, from where he was affording the room rent.. THAT WHOLE SET UP MUST HAVE COST HIM MORE THAN 5 LAKHS.. like seriously so many cameras, 13 computer, 2 CPUs ....my god like the movie makers thinks that it is easy to afford such a costly set up for a 19 year old boy..im thinking how can a movie be so unrealistic ...DONT WATCH GUYS, THIS MOVIE IS JUST A HEADACHE
One time binge watch
amitoshnavy19 April 2020
Feel it's like an extended Crime Patrol or Savdhaan India. It doesn't means it should not be watched. It's just awareness for ever one of us to be aware of technology around us which can ruin any one of us. Heena Khan is just awesome. She is definitely best of all, Mohit Malhotra has also done well. Nothing special about any other aspect of movie, but yes you can watch it once, you won't be disappointed.
seriously, is that the thing that hackers wanna do?
crypL_edNOOB27 August 2021
This concept is a crap. After all it is a disrespect to the community of hackers in the world that are exposing the dark side of the society to the clueless society. And their motives are for something greater. And not for premitive need as shown in this movie.
I wish I could rate 20/10 - Just Awesome
vibhas_ahuja11 April 2020
Creative content and beautiful music beyond words.
Great performance by Hina Khan, Rohan Shah and Mohit Malhotra.
Great work by Vikram Bhatt for making this mind thrilling movie.
A good actor is someone who knows how to take the part and make it real, make it honest and be effective in it. Everyone in the cast did exactly the same.
Waiting for the next part - "Hacked Again" :P :)
All the very best!
Too Good To Be True Hacking Movie
peteradisaputro10 May 2020
I found this movie when I googling movies about hacker or hacking. In some early scenes, I think this is will be a good hacker and/or hacking movie. But when it comes to Vivek that have so much money for just a 19 years old boy, so he can rent a building and build computer systems so he can monitor every Sameera's activities in any locations, I started thinking the story is too good to be true. It's almost impossible for someone to monitor someone else in any locations like what Vivek does. Vivek is too 'almighty' in this movie
My mind completely hacked
aniketprasad6 July 2020
Yes it's a situation while I was watching.
Story about young boy who was expert in hacking all things just like magic and other side sameera who doing business of fashion magazine but later thrown out because of company reputation. Then after what happens it's just hacked you.
Final review story/screenplay/acting/songs all are nasty except concept (Far away more better can be made)
Not bad as a plot, but things aren't real much, acting is good from main leads
armanbeerdhindsa17 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It could have been a good movie if director remembered to put in more reality, I will still oversee some of them, but baseless way to show how camera is suddenly there like in swimming pool scene, how come there is a camera then, and even hacked by hacker. Well for that laptop camera scene afterwards was good, and many other scenes were like similar. Rohan Shah acted really really well for his role (making him a true villain), Hina Khan was good too but lacked little bit. It is one time watch, and I must say second half is better than first. Being a person from a cyber background, movie made a high standard for hackers because types of hacks is really not possible, but last scene twist definitely took me by surprise.
