Can Siddharth become the Ultimate Champion as he risks it all for his brother’s dream? Will he be able to discover the truth behind his brother’s death? Watch Crakk… Jeetega Toh Jiyegaa to see how the mystery unfolds.

Crakk Movie Review; What Do We Think?

Crakk is a boring, messy and a no-brainer film. Director Aditya Datt heavily relies on Vidyut performing death-defying stunts and Arjun Rampal‘s chiselled body.

The action sequences often get over-stretched. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that it’s painful to sit through a 155-minute movie which delivers nothing but brutal actions, stunts, fights and bloodbath.

Crakk movie review; Vidyut Jammwal as Siddhu

Vidyut Jammwal get into his action mode and does the action-packed stunts effortlessly. However, his expressions are not up to the mark in emotional scenes. The film struggles to strike an emotional chord with the audience.

Crakk movie review; Arjun Rampal as Dev

Arjun Rampal’s swag as the super-good looking baddie Dev is one of the few good things about this revenge-drama. But it is nowhere near of what he did in Om Shanti Om and Ra.One. His face-off with Vidyut at the climax is captivating.

Nora Fatehi’s character seemed like an eye-candy. She has nothing much to offer to the narrative. Amy Jackson is also forgettable. Most of the times her dialogues were unclear because of the weird accent.

The daredevil stunts and action sequences are well-choreographed. The visuals are also captivation. The duration of the film could have easily cut down by atleast 15-20 minutes. The BGM is good but the rest of the songs are forgettable.

HIT Or Miss?

All said and done! Crakk… Jeetega Toh Jiyegaa – an overdose of unnecessary actions that overshadows the plot – is a type of a film that you would like to give a miss.
