Bollywood has a tendency to favour scenes with mindless action that occasionally lacks any punch. And the Vidyut Jammwal starrer ‘Crakk: Jeetega Toh Jiyegaa’ to stand out from the crowd, doesn’t take any unique actions. The film incorporates a lot of extreme sports with action to add novelty value and set itself apart from other action films, but the storyline never feels fully convincing and the narrative lacks depth.
Too many clichés are used by director Aditya Datt to have any real effect, and ultimately none of them connect. Crakk makes it apparent right away that its goal is to dazzle rather than make a lasting impression. But even so, it struggles for the most part. Furthermore, Crakk should flash the disclaimer if viewing action and stunts on screen came with any kind of warning because there are plenty of heart-pounding sequences to choose from. Some are goosebumps-inducing and genuinely quite thrilling, while others are VFX-poorly enhanced.
Vidyut Jammwal delivers a flop?
To make matters worse, Sandeep Kurup’s poor editing further detracts from the entire experience. It is erratic and patchy, and it doesn’t hold your interest. What’s the deal with the movie’s duration? It drags way too much at two hours and twenty-six minutes, and boredom creeps in quite easily.
For those who are addicted to adrenaline, Vidyut Jammwal‘s thrilling action scenes, daring stunts, and extreme sports provide a visual extravaganza. No matter which mountain or cliff Sidhu leaps off of, we never see him break a bone or even just receive some bruises. However, it’s clear that the actor struggles a little in the areas of dialogue and expression.
Next up is Arjun Rampal, who portrays the antagonist admirably and delivers a strong performance while carrying a lot of weight. Amy Jackson in a law enforcement capacity Patricia has a strong on-screen presence, but her dubbed Hindi lines—some of which are frequently out of sync—make it impossible to look away. Even though Nora Fatehi‘s character arc advances the plot, she is once again treated as merely a prop and isn’t given much room to shine. The much-needed comic relief is provided by Jamie Lever’s sharply crafted one-liners and punchlines, which never come across as forced.

#Crakk Review : Average at Best !
#VidyutJammwal shines in action, supported by @rampalarjun's compelling performance. While the genre is unique, poor execution and average direction dampen the experience overall ! #Norafatehi impresses, but slow screenplay leads to moments… pic.twitter.com/h7cP57DlTh

#Crakk is a gripping dystopian adventure film that captivates audiences with its intense action, compelling characters, and thought-provoking social commentary. #VidyutJammwal delivered finest act while #ArjunRampal and #NoraFatehi also fab.

A bad Vidyut Jammwal actioner is my favourite kind of bad film. All it needs is a consolatory pat on its head.
