crakk jeetegaa toh jiyegaa (hindi) Review
Story: A Thrilling Journey from Streets to Extreme Sports
An adrenaline junkie embarks on a perilous journey from the bustling streets of Mumbai to the heart-pounding extreme sports arena in Poland. Fueled by a dream to win the championship and honor his late brother, Siddharth ‘Siddhu’ Dixit's path is fraught with danger, a relentless rival, and a deadly secret threatening to unravel.
Review: Action-Packed Yet Familiar Territory
Opening with Siddhu's electrifying stunts on Mumbai's local train, "Crakk" plunges audiences into a world of high-octane action. Director-writer Aditya Datt initially delivers on the promise of excitement, as Krakow, Poland, sets the stage for Siddhu's quest. However, while visually stunning, the story and screenplay by Datt, Rehan Khan, and Sarim Momin lack depth.
The film follows Siddhu's underdog journey through predictable clashes with villain Dev and a budding romance with social media influencer Alia. Even subplots involving cop Patricia chasing plutonium smuggling feel like unnecessary diversions.
Action Choreography and Cinematography: Highlights Amidst Overwhelm
Despite narrative shortcomings, "Crakk" shines in its action choreography by Kerry Gregg and cinematography by Mark Hamilton. From gritty Mumbai streets to Mad Max-inspired landscapes, the visuals are captivating. Daredevil moves and breathtaking sequences keep audiences on the edge of their seats, although the constant barrage of stunts can feel overwhelming at times.
Stellar Performances in an Action-Packed Ride
Vidyut Jammwal impresses as an action hero, commanding pulse-pounding sequences and Mumbai slang with aplomb. Arjun Rampal brings menace to the villainous Dev, while Nora Fatehi delivers a passable performance in her limited role. Ankit Mohan holds his own in the action department, and Amy Jackson delivers a serviceable performance.
Final Verdict: Thrills and Tropes
"Crakk: Jeetagaa Toh Jiyegaa" delivers thrilling action and offers a refreshing glimpse into the world of extreme sports. However, its reliance on predictable tropes and a somewhat underwhelming storyline may leave audiences craving more depth and originality.
