Crakk Movie Review: Vidyut Jammwal delivers amazing stunt work and action, while the dialogue seems dull

Crakk Movie Review: The movie incorporates a lot of extreme sports with action for the fresh aspect and to make it seem different from other actioners, but the plot is shallow and never seems completely credible.

New Delhi: Vidyut Jammwal is back with another action adventure, Crakk, for which he is also a co-producer. Refreshingly, the film delves into a new part of the action genre, and it features Arjun Rampal, Amy Jackson, and Nora Fatehi. It delves into the under-explored territory of the sports action genre.

The movie incorporates a lot of extreme sports with action for the fresh aspect and to make it seem different from other actioners, but the plot is shallow and never seems completely credible.

On this day, February 23, 2024, theatres throughout the nation opened their doors to Crakk.

Story

In the story, Vidyut Jammwal’s character, Siddharth, has come from lowly origins. He earns a living by doing daring stunts in Mumbai. After the tragic loss of their other son, his parents are understandably disapproving and would prefer that he settle for a more respectable career. Despite his parents’ objections, Siddharth enters a dangerous sports event that has the potential to end his life.

The sports event’s owner, Dev (Arjun Rampal), is joined by social media personality Alia (Nora Fatehi), and local police officer Patricia Novak (Amy Jackson). Players who have registered their names with Maidaan must participate in a series of more difficult games until they reach the final, where they will face off against Dev for the title of world champion.

Review

The action in Crakk is thrilling and entertaining. It seems like the creators have spared no effort in their pursuit of thrilling stunts and action sequences, and the magnitude of the undertaking is plain to see.

There is complete chaos in Crakk’s screenwriting. There seems to have been no screenplay for the movie. The script is very simplistic. All through the film, the dialogues are utterly lifeless. The plot deviates from its intended trajectory. Most of the picture seems more like a parody, which disconnects the emotions.

Although Vidyut Jammwal excels in the action scenes, his performance falls short of expectations. His presence in the most touching instances serves no emotional purpose. Much of what Nora Fatehi has to deal with isn’t in the screenplay. The acting by Amy Jackson and Rampal is just passable. The rest of the actors in Crakk are just average.

Despite its groundbreaking action cinematic elements, Crakk proves to be an irreparable chaos.
