Crazxy The Big C – A Colossal Misfire!!!

The makers bank on the lead actor’s recall value, hoping to ride the wave of Tumbbad’s recent re-release success. Instead, they serve us Crazxy—a film that not only lacks the ‘X’ factor but reduces the audience to a Big ‘C’. Sohum Shah takes a step beyond Himesh Reshammiya’s The Badass Ravi Kumar, but at least the audience didn’t have to endure him alone. Director Girish Kohli delivers a dud alongside him.

What had the potential to be a fast-paced, darkly comedic thriller drags on for an excruciating 93 minutes—an ironic stretch for a supposedly short film. Scenes are unnecessarily prolonged, forcibly stretched to the point of being insufferable and unwatchable. We get it: Sohum Shah plays Abhimanyu Sood, a drug-addicted surgeon. Predictably, a patient dies under his negligence. Predictably, Sood wants to escape jail. And predictably, a convenient coincidence involving bribery money doubling as ransom ensues. What should have been a gripping 60-minute thriller morphs into a convoluted, patience-testing ordeal, filled with absurd logic gaps.

Rather than delivering suspense, the film drowns in tedious, self-indulgent sequences—including an unnecessarily prolonged ‘live demo’ of abdominal surgery that serves no purpose other than exhausting the audience’s patience. The protagonist may be a surgeon, but the real sufferers here are the viewers, subjected to an excruciating surgical dissection of logic and coherence. In a baffling twist, Delhi apparently runs out of doctors, leading to the absurd decision of calling a disgraced, fired surgeon to guide a junior over the phone. Seriously? As if that weren’t ridiculous enough, the film pretends to be thought-provoking by tossing in Down Syndrome as a half-baked subplot—only to abandon it entirely, much like the supporting cast, whose presence is reduced to voice calls with zero screen time. And let’s be clear—Sohum Shah is no Shah Rukh Khan to be watched this long to command this much undivided attention.

He alone cannot inject depth into this shallow mess. Perhaps that’s the ‘X’ in the misspelled Crazxy, but much like the film itself, it’s a complete misfit. Audience expectations have evolved—this film, however, remains painfully executed. Poor Audience in the name of thriller what they get is a pain without a pain killer.
