'Acid Factory' is a defective production
Director:
Suparn Verma
Starring: Fardeen Khan , Dia Mirza , Irrfan Khan , Aftab Shivdasani , Danny Denzongpa , Dino Morea , Manoj Bajpai , Gulshan Grover
OyeG Review
A bunch of losers (pun intended), people who lose their memory (Fardeen, Aftab, Dino, Danny and Manoj Bajpai) try hard to discover their identity trapped in an acid factory. The only thing they know is that not everyone will remain alive the moment Kaizar (Irrfan) reaches the place with a bagful of money. What follows is a series of flashback events, mindless cat and mouse chase, a kidnapping incident and a climax that will reveal everyone’s true identity.
Direction 
Director Suparn Verma tries hard to hold audience’s interest by running two stories parallely and succeeds to some extent. But, the overdose of car crashes and some illogical sequences take a toll on viewers. For example, a gangster doesn’t recognise the voice of his partner-in-crime and a businessman can use a loaded gun with perfection, are hard to digest. Nevertheless, some scenes are successful in giving the viewers high-adrenaline rush and edge-of-the-seat moments.
Script/Story/Screenpaly
BIGOYE broke the story of Acid Factory being a rip off of a Hollywood thriller a la Sanjay Gupta style (read men in black, pole dances, car crashes and high-adrenaline rush). However, Gupta has done it with a touch of typical Hindi cinema (read police arriving after the climax is over). Sigh!
Performances
From the not-so-appealing bunch of actors, Irrfan Khan stands out for his powerful screen presence, albeit in a small role. Dino Morea tries hard to be funny but doesn’t impress a bit. Dia Mirza looks like a made-up doll and ends up screaming in a bid to appear a tough girl. Danny and Fardeen don’t disappoint. Aftab Shivdasani is getting better by the day and puts forth an appreciable performance.
OyeG Verdict
Acid Factory is an action-thriller that is high on style quotient and less of substance. Watch it only if you are used to digest Hollywood ingredients served with Indian tadka (something filmmaker Sanjay Gupta has been offering us for years now!) without ending up having acidity problem. Yeah?
