Story of the film
The movie begins with Mumbai slum dweller Siddharth Dixit, also known as Siddhu (Vidyut Jammwal), performing risky, potentially fatal acts on a moving local train. He climbs on top, touches poles, leans out of the entrance, and runs like a cakewalk between the compartments. His pals refer to him as “crazy in the head,” or “crack.” Although the term “crack” is frequently used to describe extremely skilled and well-trained athletes, I am not sure whether Crakk really meant to capitalize on this feeling. Here, the main story points are Vidyut’s peculiarities, his love of trying possibly lethal feats, and extreme sports.
The narrative also includes a backstory in which his parents do not want Siddhu to follow in the footsteps of his older brother Nihal (Ankit Mohan), who died in the subterranean survival sports tournament Maidaan. Siddhu, however, is indifferent to it. He keeps filming himself performing these risky acts, frequently getting apprehended by the police, but he ultimately makes it to Maidaan and is quickly transported from the streets of Mumbai to a Polish sports venue.
Release
On 23 February 2024, the Crakk movie was released in theaters.
Review
Mumbai native Siddhu (Vidyut Jammwal) enjoys performing stunts. He hopes to attend Maidaan, an extreme sports competition that takes place throughout Europe. Siddhu does not want to go there to get revenge on his brother Nihal (Ankit Mohan), who was slain there while attending the same competition. He imagined that his brother, a fan of extreme sports, was aware of the dangers involved in the competition. Only after discovering the truth about his brother’s passing does he completely lose it and begin pursuing the people responsible for his wrongdoing.
If only Crakk’s plot were as straightforward. No, they had to add some father-son strife to ruin it. The current champion and tournament organizer, Dev (Arjun Rampal), reportedly has some parental issues and wishes to inherit his father’s (Bijay Anand) business. Additionally, there is another intricate scheme involving the smuggling of plutonium. Amy Jackson portrays Patricia, a Polish police officer who opposes terrorism in her nation and believes the individuals behind Maidaan are evildoers who would gladly sell a dirty nuclear weapon to the highest bidder. Patricia is thus searching for methods to catch him and enlists our hero in the process. Alia, played by Nora Fatehi, is an influencer who falls in love with Siddhu and comes to his aid when he needs it most. Then, Siddhu continues to seek guidance from his deceased brother and sees Nihal when he needs it.
The script in the movie is poor. The plot is completely untrue. Sometimes you worry if the filmmaker is filming ad hoc because they can not find the script. Why all these extreme sports fans are chasing imminent death is the most important question. More significantly, why aren’t the cops stopping these death matches? How come the government is doing nothing since everyone in the world is aware of the place where they are being broadcast alive? In the first place, why is there an audience for such things? Does the general public like seeing contestants get murdered during live streaming? Still, our culture has not become that disoriented.
A Mumbai tapori is Vidyut’s role. He has a voice reminiscent of Teen Batti, or what our film writers believe to be Teen Batti patios. That gives him a Jackie Shroff-like voice. Therefore, the producers ought to have chosen Tiger Shroff if they had desired someone like that. Even though Arjun Rampal is shown as being quite vicious, he does not seem like a megalomaniac.
The action sequences are the only good parts of the movie. The action choreography is top-notch, whether it is in the opening scenes, where Siddhu displays his talents as a young man who enjoys doing stunts on local trains, or in the bicycle stunt’s death race segment. However, the set pieces are too far apart. The movie moves at a very slow pace for an action movie. Its background music and sound design also require improvement.
Like always, Vidyut Jammwal is a skilled martial artist who has executed his maneuvers flawlessly. However, he struggles with the emotional passages, which are not his strong suit. Although Arjun Rampal’s amazing physique is on par with Vidyut Jammwal’s, the badly written character does not provide him much room to improve. In his brief part as the older brother, Ankit Mohan makes an impression.
