Sohum Shah’s ‘Crazxy’ is a Dull Ride with Underwhelming Climax: HT
Sohum Shah, known for his critically acclaimed performance in the horror film ‘Tumbbad’, has recently ventured into the thriller genre with his latest film ‘Crazxy’. However, it seems that his attempt to thrill the audience has fallen flat. Hindustan Times’ Rishabh Suri recently reviewed the film, giving it a disappointing 2.5 stars and calling it a “dull ride with underwhelming climax”.
The reviewer’s sentiments are echoed by many who have watched the film. Despite the promising premise, ‘Crazxy’ fails to deliver a gripping narrative that keeps the audience engaged. The plot, which revolves around a group of friends who get trapped in a mysterious situation, is predictable and lacks originality. It’s a tale that has been told numerous times before, with little to no attempt to add a fresh spin to the story.
Suri’s review highlights the film’s lack of originality, stating that it looks like any other race-against-time film. He goes on to say that, during the 90-minute runtime, there is only one instance where he was on the edge of his seat. This lack of tension and suspense is a major letdown, especially for a thriller that promises to keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
Another major criticism of the film is its underwhelming climax. Suri’s review suggests that the film’s conclusion is disappointing and fails to provide a satisfying payoff for the audience. This is particularly frustrating, as a good climax is crucial for a thriller to leave a lasting impact on the viewer.
It’s worth noting that Sohum Shah’s performance is one of the few redeeming qualities of the film. He brings a certain level of intensity to his role, and his interactions with the other characters are engaging. However, even his efforts are not enough to save the film from its overall mediocrity.
In conclusion, ‘Crazxy’ is a disappointing thriller that fails to deliver on its promises. With a predictable and unoriginal plot, a lack of tension and suspense, and an underwhelming climax, it’s a film that is unlikely to leave a lasting impression on the audience. While Sohum Shah’s performance is commendable, it’s not enough to save the film from its overall dullness.
