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.

From start to finish, Crazxy delivers a thrilling ride filled with twists and psychological depth. Sohum Shah is brilliant in his role, bringing an intensity and emotional complexity to his character that keeps you invested throughout. The screenplay keeps you at the edge of your seat, constantly throwing surprises that challenge your expectations. The cinematography is dark and gripping, with every shot designed to intensify the mystery. The haunting soundtrack adds to the atmosphere, building tension in every scene. While some sequences stretch the limits of realism, they serve to heighten the film's unpredictability and suspense. Crazxy is a must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers that keep you guessing.

I rated it 5 for Cinematography, background score and acting of Sohum Shah, as he's the only actor in this film, rest of the cast are in voice role. But man I'm disappointed with this movie, it's a glorified short movie. I mean even 90 mins is dragged. You can see this kind of story in facebook video with AI narration. Not a movie that you should go to theatre to watch. Complete waste of money.

According to me a thriller only works if the climax works but the climax doesn't work. I guessed the climax at the start of the movie and I hoped to myself that please don't be that but it was that and it sucked hard. No need to check other review. Idk what they are on while reviewing but this, this is absolute sh#t of a thriller.

Making a movie with the protagonist as the only cast is a unique . Sohum Shah delivers the onerous task as an actor quite well. The Cinematography is top class with background music keeping pace. The let down is that Sohum 's character is not fleshed enough ( though it began promisingly with middle finger showing sequence with biker in the beginning) While it was intelligent to show the way he named his characters as " white coat", " Ex" , not many people who watched get to understand why did he name people like that. What suddenly causes him into regret as a father is not well established. The first half is slow and doesn't really build the tension. The second half however is fast and fulfilling. The only drawback for is was that at least we could predict the climax.

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.
