Acid Factory is some real action filmed in South Africa
with cars blowing up and trucks all over the sublime
Cape Town supported with breathtaking cinematography on
land, sea and air.
Mark Twain said ' everyone is a moon and has a dark side
which he never shows to anybody.'
A person’s memory is the source of all emotions. It is
also the source of his guilt.
What if a killer would wake up one day with his memory
erased?
Would his crimes cease to exist?
The others Aftab Shivdasani, Dino Morea, Manoj Bajpayee
and Danny Denzongpa wake up and they all have amnesia
too. On probing around, they come to know that some of
them have been shot who it is … each one of them fail to
comprehend. Then they find out the sixth person Max (Diya
Mirza) who is in the same condition as they are.
Eventually it is discovered that all of them have lost
their memory due to the gas leak from a container and
they are captives in the Acid Factory.
Their sense of right or wrong is heightened by this
state of complete distrust and self righteousness. Now
begins a morality play on the inside and a cat and mouse
chase on the outside.
Danny Dengzongpa is stylish in his role, and Manoj
Bajpai gets a complete makeover. Dino Morea and Aftab
Shivdasani thankfully are natural. Fardeen Khan gives us
glimpses of the style and grace of Feroze Khan.
The cool and
sexy Dia Mirza, makes a solid impact, yet it is on her
entry that she goes over the top. Irrfan Khan is
chilling in portrayal of the negative character.

Faltering memory continually
alters the constancy of truth. Short term memory loss
denies you of an identity throwing you into an abyss of
excruciating agony.
Acid Factory
is about a group of characters whose sense of past has
vanished in a haze of coma like sleep they have woken up
from only to discover that reality could be a figment of
their imagination.
Romeo (Fardeen Khan) wakes up in a deserted factory
without any clue of how he got there and even about who he
is. He has absolutely no memory and so is the case with
several others who are captives in this secluded place.
Among the few
songs, one of them is by Manasi Scott who has written the
lyrics, composed, sung and even enacted her song on
screen.
It is an edgy and gritty cinema with grey characters. Here
is an action thriller with a screenplay that blends
seamlessly into past and then in present and then past…
Acid Factory has sharp editing, cutting back and forth
with sophisticated action scenes and moments which leaves
the viewer breathless.
