Crakk: Jeetega... Toh Jiyegaa

The most cringiest movie i've watched. Apart from Arjun Rampal's looks nothing in this movie was good. Total flop. On top of this they tried to glorify running on top of trains risking lives. Unbelievably bad casting and unbelievably poor storyline. Besides Arjun Rampal literally nobody in this movie can act. I cannot belive this movie was allowed to be shot and produced at this level. The voice of the main actor(Vidyut) seemed like voice-over, it just was so out of place and managed to ruin the entire movie even more. Certain parts of the filmography seemed so unprofessional, the just inserted vignette and cheap overlays in some parts that made it look like it was shot on an iPhone. Overall a really really disappointing film.

Review: Crackk (2024)

Crackk offers a rollercoaster of action-packed sequences, showcasing innovative concepts rarely seen in Bollywood. The camera work deserves applause for capturing the adrenaline-fueled moments with perfection. Among the four action sequences, the long-awaited showdown between Arjun and Vidyut in the climax stands out, delivering a thrilling experience.

However, the film isn't without its flaws. Vidyut's accent, haircut, and dressing style may be distracting, accompanied by subpar acting. Despite being a favorite, Amy Jackson's role falls flat, while Arjun Rampal shines with his usual brilliance in both acting prowess and looks. Bijoy Anand delivers commendable performance, but the repetitive ghostly appearances of Ankit Mohan become tiresome. Nora Fatehi's portrayal is average at best.

The first half of the film could have been tighter, enhancing the overall pacing and engagement. Nevertheless, Crackk remains a worthwhile watch primarily due to its high-octane action sequences. If you're a fan of adrenaline-pumping thrills, this movie won't disappoint.

We could have done without the Gully boy act, which made Vidhyut's character look fake and sound phony. Vidhyut needs to pick scripts which does not require much acting, as that is his Achilles heel. He excels in the action & stunt dept and should stick to that. Amy Jackson and Nora Fatehi were just eye candies, picked solely for the glamour and attitude aspect. Arjun Rampal acting skill has always been mediocre and amply displayed it in this movie. He too was picked solely for looks. The Death Race scenario has been done to death in Hollywood, and in the Bollywood movie "Luck". For stunt junkies this movie would be perfect, for the more mature and discerning viewers not so much.

Passey Reviews

'Crakk Jeetega... Toh Jiyegaa'- yes that's the complete name of the film, which sounds as offbeat and weird as the film itself. Some might say I was 'Crakk' enough to go watch it in the theatre!

The movie kicks off with Vidyut Jammwal expressing gratitude to his "Jammwalions" (fans) but, unfortunately, the film doesn't offer much to keep that support intact.

It lacks in every aspect and there's nothing extraordinary to offer- from the acting, storyline, screenplay to setting, cinematography, & background score. The music (apart from Vishal Mishra's Jeena Haraam) is forgettable, and even the director Aditya Datt ('Table No. 21' fame) fails to impress. It feels like they cooked up a recipe from 'Death Race' and 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' and sprinkled some 'Luck' vibes from 15 years ago. 'Luck' starring Imran Khan and Sanjay Dutt had ironically, also faced a similar fate, by getting no luck at the box office.

Arjun Rampal is decent, Vidyut does his action stunt & ripped body show thing (as always), but Amy Jackson and Nora Fatehi seem like they got lost on set and are a complete misfit with their horrendous acting and irritating accents. A well-executed dance number by Nora might have added some appeal, but that one didn't exist in the film.

The film tries to mix extreme sports with action, but it's like they forgot the recipe. It drags on for 156 minutes, and you might find yourself checking your watch. You may not want to watch the last song in the film either. The film isn't unbearable, but certainly can be missed in the theatre.

So, 'Crakk Jeetega... Toh Jiyegaa' isn't exactly the adrenaline-packed thrill ride you would hope for. Even if you're a die-hard Vidyut Jammwal fan, this one might not crack your movie favorites list.

Don't waste your time guys.

No story line at all. Every thing is so random. Individual scenes put together without thinking about it. The amount of low quality CGI used is laughable.

Voiceover is also horrible.. just avoid it and save some time.

Vidyut is such a let down. Has no acting skills. We that explains why he does these kind of films. Nora fatehi, plz stay out of acting or atleast learn acting.

Feel sorry for Arjun as he might have felt after seeing this movie. Why in the world did he agree to this absolutely cra* of a movie.

Watch this movie of you would like to laugh at utter nonsense.
