Crazxy movie review: The absence of other actors – their presence reduced to their voices–is a problem too, leaving Sohum Shah to gamely handle the screen practically single-handed, which makes it even more of a stretch.
Crazxy movie review: The stuck-behind-a-steering-wheel/closed-phone-booth character, hellbent on saving a loved one from dire consequences, has been used in a few films. In ‘Crazxy’, Sohum Shah plays a surgeon, on track for a crucial meeting, poleaxed by a phone call that changes everything: he needs to rapidly regroup and think on his feet, to prevent calamity befalling a member of his family.
At 93 minutes, the film is fashioned as an edge-of-the-seat thriller, and Shah’s Dr Abhimanyu Sood does his best to put metal to pedal while fielding calls from a bunch of increasingly agitated people: ex-wife (voiced by Nimisha Sajayan), current interest (voiced by Shilpa Shukla), boss of his hospital (voiced by Piyush Mishra), and a senior teacher (voiced by Tinnu Anand) at his daughter Vedika’s (Unnati Surana, on screen briefly) school, who is empathetic to her special needs.
As he races towards his goal, the doctor reveals qualities which are hidden when we first meet him. He isn’t a particularly good dad, given all the ranting we hear from his ex. He doesn’t even sound like a good doctor, having made a mistake, we are told, which has cost a patient dear. Can this flawed human find ways to make things better?
The premise is interesting, and some of the portions of the film, including an early jump scare, are effective. But as we start getting glimpses of just how misunderstood his abilities have been even as he helps an inexperienced junior save a life, and how he deals with terrible pain without taking his eye off the ball, the film starts to lag.
The absence of other actors – their presence reduced to their voices–is a problem too, leaving Shah to gamely handle the screen practically single-handed, which makes it even more of a stretch. And finally, there is only so much implausibility, and clunky computer graphics that we can take.
