Crazxy

The movie is brilliant with great acting by Sohum Shah. It's an well made thriller. Most of the movie he's driving in the car. It's not easy to hold one's attention with must of the shooting done in the car, yet Sohum Shah manages so well (unlike if you remember Locke , which is a Tom Hardy movie). The way he's stuck in such a situation with so phone calls to solve so many issues is crazy. It's a complete Sohum Shah movie all the way. At some point, even the music reminded me of Tummbad.

It's really good and interesting right till the climax which is a very big let down. Had it been a better climax I could have given this an 8 at least.

I don't know why everyone is calling this like one of the best thrillers. I honestly felt only parts of the film to be engaging. Other than that it was just a normal story being continued.

First half was almost average for me. Second half picked up the story and some level of thrill was present. Though the ending was pretty underwhelming for me. I predicted it few seconds early, the finale and still it wasn't exactly clear to me why.

Barring the ending also the thrill factor wasn't constant. I didn't even feel anything for the characters. I was like why even go through all that effort by the character.

Honestly, I was disappointed but it was, what it was.

Crazxy: Overhyped but Underwhelming

*"Crazxy" is an okayish movie with a simple plot, but the way it was promoted and the hype surrounding it don't do it justice. Some unnecessary elements were added to the storyline, which felt out of place, especially given the movie's already short runtime. Sohun Shah's performance was commendable, and the background score was well done.

There was an emotional touch to the film, which worked well in certain scenes. However, the way it was marketed created a completely different expectation, making the final product feel underwhelming. After Tumbbad, expectations were naturally high, but Crazxy falls short in comparison. While it has its moments, the storytelling lacks the depth and intrigue that made Tumbbad so impactful. The use of mythological references, like Abhimanyu and Chakravyuh, could have added richness to the plot, but they felt forced and didn't contribute meaningfully.

Overall, Crazxy had potential, but the execution didn't live up to the anticipation. It's a decent watch, but not the groundbreaking experience many were expecting.

Gripping tale, climax may disappoint some people but the whole movie is just really good and keep you on the edge of your seats. Definitely some fresh concept and execution. Its a must watch specially in theatres. Tight BGM in first half at-least and really good songs. Acting is superb. Shots are just really very interesting, hard to find in Bollywood these days. Fresh story in genre. Sohum shah and Girish have done really good job with this movie. Its really exceptional and never seen before in Bollywood. Many easter eggs and small details. Very well thought stories. There are one or 2 places where it feels off in terms of stories but they are not make or break.

This film consists of only three main characters which includes sohum shah himself, his phone and his car. The entire film revolves arround these three characters but still manages to keep the film very intense.

The film starts of very calm but instantly manages to gain suspense, this was just the starting, after the interval, it's a different cinema. The film becomes soo intense that you would beg for it to stop, you won't be able to manage the intensity of the scene that comes right after the interval. One of the most intense scenes I have seen in a while.

The background score and music puts more life into this, good music choice and placement leads to a better viewing experience for the audience.

The only place where they ruined everything and the only reason this is not a 10/10 film was because of the climax. The film raises it's intensity soo high that you would expect something big to happen at the end, The grand reveal. But the climax just doesn't hit as hard as it's supposed to, it's just a normal climax.

Doesn't mean that the climax is bad, it's good and leaves us with a great message and is very unpredictable but it just doesn't hit that hard.

If you consider yourself a film critic or someone who looks deep into the film, you will enjoy the film making tooo as it's very unique. Keeping the film short and only of 1 hour 25 minutes was also a great decision.

A must watch, can't really be rewatched, could have been a 10/10.
