Acid Factory worked a lot for me mainly for the story and the narration style.

Its about 6 people who are trapped in a acid factory who have temporary memory loss due to pentane acid cylinder leakage and have forgotten their identities. Two of them are kidnappers and two were supposed to die. But no one knows who were the kidnappers and who were the people who kidnapped and who were the rest two people. The mastermind behind all this is by keizer (irfan khan).

1st half deals mainly with how they try to use permutations n combinations to get their real names, keeping a check on each other if they are lying or not at same time.

2nd half becomes more interesting though the climax doesnt fully impress, mainly for the way they show keizer in the entire film, the end seemed bit stranger for him.

Another thing is that they never show when Romeo(fardeen) gets his memory back, though thats not required either.

The narration style was excellent, with the 5 weeks earlier shift upto 1 week earlier. But the story in those flashback wasnt as interesting as the current ongoing plot which weakened the film a bit, add to it bad music and songs put in that weren't required at all. Leaving aside yeh jism jo, there was no requirement of songs.


Dialogues were good and bad at same time. Cinematography was good. Screenplay could had been better. Editing was nice, nothing noteworthy. Camera work was very good.


Performance wise,

Irfan impressed the most. Fardeen was fine,such roles suit him more than comic ones. Manoj Bajpayee looked in form. Aftab shivdasani was just about fine. Dino Morea was ok, bit irritating at times.Danny Denzangpa was good, he is getting good roles it seems now. Dia Mirza hardly has any role.

Gulshan Grover was flawless like always.


Overall, Acid Factory does excite you at lots of places, due to some good way of story telling, though it could had been more thrilling.
