In
2025,
several
films
were
released
that
created
a
completely
different
kind
of
impact.
And
then
there
are
films
that
simply
did
not
receive
the
recognition
they
truly
deserved.
One
such
film
is
Crazxy.
Starring
Sohum
Shah,
the
film
had
all
the
elements
to
keep
viewers
hooked
throughout,
seamlessly
compiling
its
various
components.
However,
considering
the
treatment
it
received
upon
its
release,
it
is
evident
that
Crazxy
stands
out
as
one
of
the
most
overlooked
films
of
2025.
If
we
look
at
the
story
of
Crazxy,
it
revolves
around
Abhimanyu
Sood,
a
renowned
surgeon
who
receives
a
chilling
phone
call
informing
him
that
his
16-year-old
daughter,
Vedica,
has
been
kidnapped.
At
the
same
time,
he
is
carrying
₹5
crore
for
a
settlement
that
could
save
him
from
going
to
jail.
Is
this
a
real
kidnapping,
or
an
elaborate
trap?
The
entire
film
revolves
around
this
gripping
premise.
Although
the
ending
did
not
work
for
many,
the
film
remains
a
bold
experiment
in
today’s
era
of
formulaic,
jingoistic
cinema.
It
is
the
kind
of
film
that
grows
increasingly
intense
with
time.
The
narrative
keeps
getting
deeper,
and
as
an
audience
member,
you
are
left
hanging
on
a
cliffhanger
almost
every
other
minute.
That
said,
the
selection
of
the
story
and
the
risk
of
portraying
such
a
complex
character
deserve
special
credit,
especially
for
Sohum
Shah.
He
is
truly
a
risk-taker,
and
Bollywood
needs
more
experimental
films
and
artists
willing
to
take
such
risks
in
the
times
we
live
in.
In
Crazxy,
you
primarily
see
Sohum
Shah
alone
in
a
car,
with
most
of
the
film
shot
within
the
confined
space
of
the
car
cabin,
no
easy
feat
by
any
means.
As
an
actor,
there
are
limited
moments
to
express
through
action;
it
all
depends
on
narration,
dialogue
delivery,
and
the
intensity
reflected
on
his
face.
Yet,
he
pulls
it
off
brilliantly.
It
is
arguably
the
most
overlooked
performance
of
2025,
but
anyone
who
watches
it
at
any
time
will
undoubtedly
appreciate
it.
Moving
on
to
the
soundtrack,
it
stands
as
one
of
the
most
underrated
albums
of
the
year.
Just
imagine,
it
features
Kishore
Kumar,
a
revamped
version
of
the
iconic
Goli
Maar
Bheje
Mein,
and
the
legendary
duo
of
Gulzar
and
Vishal
Bhardwaj,
who
together
have
crafted
one
of
the
finest
albums
of
2025.
Infusing
such
iconic
rhythms
into
an
intense
thriller
is
a
masterstroke
in
itself,
and
unfortunately,
even
this
aspect
of
the
film
went
largely
unnoticed.
Furthermore,
the
concept
of
Crazxy
was
introduced
with
remarkable
creativity,
cleverly
merging
its
promotional
theme
with
Sohum
Shah’s
Tumbbad.
Bringing
Daadi
and
Hastar
into
the
promotional
campaign
was
an
eye-catching
move
that
instantly
grabbed
attention.
All
things
considered,
Crazxy
is
truly
worth
watching,
and
cinema
of
this
calibre
does
not
deserve
to
remain
underrated.
