Tumbbad was a flop for various reasons when it was first released in 2018. However, during its re-release, the film made a historic comeback, collecting Rs. 38 crore. This success also elevated the respect for Sohum Shah. As a result, there are high expectations for his next film, Crazxy. The promotions for this movie have generated even more curiosity. Now, the question remains did the film live up to the expectations or not? Let’s find out!
Crazxy Movie Story: In a hospital, due to a mistake that happens without his full involvement, a patient dies. Fearing that this case might lead to the cancellation of his doctor’s license, Dr. Abhimanyu (Sohum Shah) decides to settle the issue. As he carries Rs. 5 crore in cash for the settlement, he receives a call from a stranger claiming to have kidnapped his daughter. The kidnapper demands the same Rs. 5 crore for her release.
Now, Abhimanyu is stuck in a dilemma should he use the money to settle the case or save his daughter? What choice does he make? What challenges does he face on that path? Does he win or lose? That’s the story of Crazxy.
Performances: The entire film revolves around Sohum Shah, Crazy is a one-man show by Sohum Shah. He delivers a composed yet intense performance, effectively portraying a range of emotions. His ability to stay calm under pressure whether changing a car tire, guiding a doctor during surgery, or handling his daughter’s health crisis is commendable. The way he brings out this tension and gravity on screen is truly praiseworthy.
Actors like Shilpa Shukla, Nimisha Sajayan, and Tinnu Anand make an impact solely through their voice performances, adding depth to the narrative.
Technical Aspects: The cinematography is the film’s biggest strength, with creative angles and a thrilling trolley shot enhancing the experience. Despite using green screens and real locations, the visuals feel natural, thanks to the art and production teams.
Director Girish Kohli keeps the 93-minute thriller engaging without any lag. However, after an intense 89-minute buildup, the climax feels too simple and convenient, making the ending less satisfying. While he shines as a director, the writing falls slightly short.
Analysis: Crazy aims to create an intense and immersive experience. However, instead of delivering a shocking ending, it feels somewhat underwhelming.
That said, the filmmaking, Sohum Shah’s performance, and the cinematography are undeniably impressive, making it a compelling watch.
Verdict: Crazy is a gripping one-man thriller with excellent cinematography and a standout performance by Sohum Shah. However, its underwhelming climax dampens the impact. Worth watching for its technical brilliance, but don’t expect a shocking payoff.
Bottom Line: Gripping and well-made, but the climax falls short.
Rating: 2.5/5
