A father searches for his kidnapped daughter. But along with this race-against-time thriller, we also get a psychological arc about a certain kind of man. It all comes together very well. The rest of this review may contain spoilers.
The trailers have told us that Crazxy is about a father and his kidnapped daughter and ransom money. So when Abhimanyu (Sohum Shah), a top surgeon, walks out his fancy apartment with a bag, in a single shot that does not break his urgency, we think that this bag contains money. It does. But then, why does the kidnapper’s “I have your daughter” call come a little later? So what was the money in Abhimanyu’s bag for? And who was the man shouting at Abhimanyu, blaming him for the messy situation they were in? What is that situation? In a typical kidnap-thriller, the focus is on a loving father who is told that his darling daughter is kidnapped, and the story then tells us how the father finds the missing child and overpowers the villain. But Girish Kohli’s debut feature (he also wrote the film) is very different. It is a thriller, for sure. But it is also a character study told from a single point of view.
