Crazxy

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.

The movie is gaining hype only because of Sohum Shah (Tumbbad), and I was eagerly waiting for it. The beginning was really strong, drawing me in with its gripping atmosphere and promising storytelling. Sohum Shah's acting is phenomenal-his expressions, dialogue delivery, and screen presence elevate the film. The cinematography and overall presentation are also top-notch, creating an engaging experience.

However, the climax is a huge letdown. It feels as if the writer had no clear direction on how to conclude the story, or maybe the filmmakers rushed to wrap it up. The buildup throughout the film creates moments of suspense and thrill, making the audience anticipate something extraordinary. But instead of delivering a satisfying or impactful ending, the story fizzles out, leaving a sense of incompleteness. It's frustrating because the film had so much potential, but the weak climax diminishes its overall impact.

While the movie excels in acting, visuals, and initial storytelling, the disappointing climax makes it feel like a missed opportunity. If only the ending had been as strong as the beginning, this could have been an unforgettable cinematic experience."**

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.

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.

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.
