I didn’t expect much going into Crazxy — just knew it had Sohum Shah in a thriller set mostly inside a car. But what I got was a tense, strange, surprisingly emotional ride that stuck with me longer than I thought it would.
And honestly? That’s all it needs.
The film takes place almost entirely inside the car — it’s very “Locke” (Tom Hardy fans will know what I mean) but with a lot more emotional messiness. As the calls keep coming in, you slowly realise that this guy’s life is kind of a disaster. His marriage is broken, his work’s a mess, and the more people he speaks to, the more you start wondering — is he even a good person?
Sohum Shah absolutely carries the whole thing. It’s just him, a steering wheel, and a phone — and somehow it works. He plays the role with a kind of quiet panic. Not over-the-top, not theatrical — just a man slowly unraveling in real time.
The soundtrack has a cool, throwback vibe. There’s even a remix of “Goli Maar Bheje Mein” thrown in, which I didn’t see coming, but somehow it fits the whole “everything is falling apart in your head” mood.
It’s not perfect though. Some scenes drag. After a while, the phone calls start blending into each other. And while the climax tries to go for an emotional punch, it felt a bit rushed. I get what it was going for — ambiguity and psychological weight — but it didn’t fully land for me.
Still, for a film that’s basically one man in a car for 90 minutes, Crazxy does a lot. It’s tense. It’s different. And it actually has something to say about guilt, redemption, and what we owe the people we’ve hurt.
Worth watching if you’re into character-driven thrillers. Don’t go in expecting big action or twists — this one’s all about the slow burn.
