Crakk is absolute crap, declares Mayur Sanap.
Sometimes mere phrases can’t describe one thing adequately to pinpoint simply how idiotic and vapid some movie experiences are.
Witnessing Vidyut Jammwal’s motion shenanigans in Crakk: Jeetegaa… Toh Jiyegaa is one such grim incidence.
The man who has created his personal sub-genre in Bollywood throughout the motion cinema umbrella has publicised his newest outing as ‘India’s first ever excessive sports activities motion movie’. Forget excessive sports activities, this one serves as a blueprint of precisely how to not make an motion movie typically.
Jammwal performs Siddhu, a stunt performer from the slums of Mumbai who aspires to win the elusive motion recreation known as Maidaan.
The mastermind of this recreation is Dev (Arjun Rampal), who runs this excessive underground sports activities membership, amongst different unlawful actions, in Europe.
Siddhu is hand-picked to take part within the present. Soon, he realises that Dev has hyperlinks with the mysterious loss of life of his elder brother Nihal (Ankit Mohan), who misplaced his life throughout the identical present a couple of years in the past.
What follows is the performed and dusted story of man-on-mission who would cease at nothing till revenge is met.
The writing right here is, pure and easy, terrible.
Director Aditya Datt and his group of three writers (!!!) — Rehan Khan, Sarim Momin and Mohinder Pratab Singh — seemingly assembled at a desk and designed a sequence of supposedly jaw-dropping stunts with the remainder of the movie haphazardly constructed up round it.
But even the so-called excessive scale motion set items are unimaginative, bereft of any pressure.
The frenetic edits throughout these scenes solely add to the frustration with the cinematography that offers low-cost, washed-out look of previous video video games.
All that is additional hamstrung by laughably dangerous performing, foolish dialogues (‘You’re married to the sport now. So please be royal on this relationship’) and heroines which can be mere arm sweet objects.
Nora Fatehi is solid as a social media influencer named Alia, who’s in love with Vidyut’s Siddhu.
She is given to showcase her dance strikes and to look anxious when the stunt is occurring. She excels at former and fails miserably on the latter.
Amy Jackson performs a cop named Patricia whose character serves no goal within the movie in addition to trying glamorous in a police uniform.
Arjun Rampal takes on the villainous character however comes throughout as fairly bland in an underwritten half.
Most of heavy-lifting is left for Vidyut to do, whose tapori dialect is by some means worse than his performing prowess. He does motion, dance, drama, comedy, and but even his brawny shoulders cannot carry the load of this damp squib.
With no redeeming qualities in anyway, Crakk is absolute crap!
