Tumbbad 2 update: Sohum Shah welcomes Nawazuddin Siddiqui to cult folklore sequel

<p><strong>Crazxy Movie Review:</strong> In&nbsp;<em>Crazxy, </em>Sohum Shah takes the driving seat and the entire movie happens&mdash;this is the shortest and crispiest explanation I can give for a film that would have gripped your attention better on paper than on celluloid.</p>
<p>Written and directed by Girish Kohli, this road thriller picks up speed in some parts and stays neutral in others. Now, it depends on you on how much you can tolerate Shah&rsquo;s face and his car (and the best edge-of-the-seat thriller you have watched.) If you have the patience, you might give this movie a try.</p>
<h2>The Plot (Crazxy Movie)</h2>
<p>Set in Gurgaon and other parts of Delhi-NCR, the movie revolves around Dr Abhimanyu (Sohum Shah), the head surgeon and best doctor at his hospital. However, if we had to describe Abhimanyu's life, it would be a total mess.</p>
<p>The doctor, who comes off as snooty and arrogant, has been sued by a patient's family for a surgery gone wrong, putting his career on the verge of collapse. To settle the case out of court, Abhimanyu agrees to pay the family Rs 50 million.</p>
<p>The movie starts with him getting into his car with a bag full of money, heading to the hospital. However, what he thought would be a quick ride turns into a rollercoaster journey he never saw coming.<img src="https://img-cdn.thepublive.com/fit-in/0x0/filters:format(webp)/wion/media/post_attachments/97b50c6b-5ca.png" alt="" style="width: 0px;"></p>
<p>Soon after he gets into his Range Rover, Abhimanyu receives a call from an unknown number informing him that his daughter has been kidnapped. The ransom? Rs 50 million - the exact amount he was about to pay the patient&rsquo;s family. The kidnapper gives Abhimanyu time until sunset to pay him, and within this limited time, he juggles with multiple people as he's stuck in a loop of phone calls: from dealing with his ex and regretting that he never truly loved his daughter, who has Down syndrome, to having sweet conversations with his current girlfriend, his boss, his lawyers, and, of course, the kidnapper.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This 90-minute movie tells the story of a man who has achieved a lot, yet has nothing to be happy about. The movie reflects a man's life, his values, and the good and bad choices.</p>
<p>While watching, I got the vibe of a Western thriller blended with a pulpy Bollywood psychological drama.<br>&nbsp;<br>However, the movie fails to grip the audience's attention the way it intends. What makes it slightly more interesting are the minute details, presentation, wide camera angle and elements like his ex&rsquo;s ringtone, which is a sad song with a hidden message for Abhimanyu, or the kidnapper's ringtone, the clock setting, among other things.&nbsp;</p>
<p>With metaphors embedded throughout, this so-called edge-of-the-seat thriller feels fabricated at times, failing to create the intended impact. The film heavily relies on its technical aspects, which save it in some parts.

<p>The movie starts on an intriguing note, with scenes that hook you in and make you wonder what's next. But things don&rsquo;t always unfold as expected.

Crazxy Movie Review: Sohum Shah is on a crazy roadride which doesn't keep viewers on the edge

<p>Sohum Shah's <em>Tumbbad</em> is among the movies that shattered several records upon its re-release. First released in 2018, the movie didn't perform well at the theatres. However, the folk horror scripted history and left a huge impact when it was re-released on the big screen in 2024.</p>

Tumbbad re-release week 1 collection: Sohum Shah's film earns impressive numbers

<p>Fresh off the block, here is something that is binge-worthy<strong>. ‘Maharani’ on SonyLiv</strong> landed on the <strong>streamer on May 28 </strong>and it has something to bite on for those looking for a web series that has an interesting plotline which becomes more appealing because of its treatment. <strong>Set in Bihar of the 1990s</strong>, an era that millennials get nostalgic of from time to time, it brings forth an India that we colloquially refer to as ‘Bharat’ with its landlord-farmers’ equation of balance, villages strewn with kutcha-pucca houses and politics being a matter of existence rather than a dining table discussion.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>‘Maharani’ has Huma Qureshi </strong>take the lead in what looks like a Rabri Devi-style of becoming the <strong>Chief Minister of Bihar,</strong> which is rightly described in the show as “a state of mind” rather than “just a state of India”. An illiterate woman Rani Bharti (Huma Qureshi) with absolutely no exposure to the world is elected the CM of Bihar in the show after her <strong>husband Bheema Bharti</strong> (played by Sohum Shah), present CM, is shot in the chest and suffers a paralysis on one side of his body. To save his seat and keep power at home, he makes Rani the CM -- only to realise who was once Rani of a small village has metamorphosed into Maharani of one of the biggest states of India. The drama takes a high tide from then on.</p>

<p>The show is great in pace as makers do justice to all twists and turns they offer in every episode that makes it a crisp watch. ‘Maharani’ has 10 episodes in total. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Watch the trailer here: Maharani</strong></p>

<p>All characters, Bheema Bharti aka Sohum, Rani Bharti aka Huma and belligerent Navin Kumar (opposition party leader) aka Amit Sial carry the story effervescently with their political animosity as they convince the viewer to have been taken back to a time when social media was yet to change the landscape of communication.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The web show created by Subhash Kapoor also tackles the issue of caste politics that is at the very nerve of the people of Bihar in an intelligent manner without ever being patronising or preachy at the least. It is at last a show of ambition, power and the drama that follows with it.&nbsp;</p>
