Crakk: Jeetega... Toh Jiyegaa

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.

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.

"To make a great film, you need three things - the script, the script, and the script," emphasized Alfred Hitchcock.

Unfortunately, the narrative of this particular movie fails to captivate. The characters are thinly sketched, lacking the depth necessary to truly resonate with the audience. Even the protagonist's motivations seem to lack authenticity, leaving viewers disconnected from the story.

To ensnare the audience's attention, Makers resorted to a bombardment of action, seemingly unaware of its incongruity with the tale at hand, employing it as a desperate lifeline to sustain intrigue.

In conclusion, Vidyut's open challenge to Tiger, who epitomizes the trend towards mindless action movies.

This Movie Crakk Jeetega Toh Jiyega Is A Good Try To Make A Movie On Genre Of Squid Games Or Mad Max But It's A Good Try In This Genre If We Compare This Movie To A Indian Movies On This Genre Such As Ganpath And It's A Very Better Movie In Terms Of Action And Plot And Visual Effects But The Problem Is Performances Are Not That Much Good But If You Are A Action Fan Or Parkour Fan It Will Be Rememberable Watch For You And Vidyut Jamwal Was Not Good In This Movie If We Watch It From A Angle In Which We Will Watch That He Can Do Better But This Movie Is Good In Set Design But It Has A Messy Screenplay And It Deserves To Be A Hit Because Of This Movie Becomes A Hit Filmmakers Will Make More Movies On This Genre.

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.
