What does it take to make a good film? The answer could be a thesis, an essay, an opinion piece, but it’s actually pretty simple I’d say. It needs a good script. That’s the highlight of Crazxy - through all its bumps, it hinges on a brilliant script. How else do I explain sitting through a 90 minute film without the urge to check the beeping on my phone. Much like all of you, my attention span isn’t in a great place. Instagram reels have taken away the joy we felt in investing ourselves wholeheartedly in a film. I have to credit director Girish Kohli and Sohum Shah for reminding me that for the right film and the right story, of course the right actor, I will be seated through and through. Kohli and Shah pull off the unthinkable - a full-fledged feature film largely revolving around a single character. Much of the heavy lifting is on Shah’s shoulders and he delivers the desired intense performance giving us the expected adrenaline rush.

Crazxy has a bit of a wild plot - Shah stars as Dr. Abhimanyu Sood, a surgeon on the brink of losing everything after a malpractice lawsuit threatens his career. Just as he despertaely tries to hold on to his reputation, he receives a chilling call -- his daughter has been kidnapped. This is the daughter he abandoned years ago, too ashamed to accept a kid with Down syndrome, even as a medical practitioner. Now, he must confront the past he tried to erase while racing against time to save the daughter he once rejected.
