Mumbai, Feb 23 (IANS) ‘Crakk – Jeethegaa Toh Jiyegaa!’, directed by Aditya Datt, is a heart-pounding action thriller that delivers a captivating cinematic experience from beginning to end. The opening scene of the movie, an adrenaline-pumping train ride, sets the tone of the movie, and has the audience hooked.
The movie kicks off with Siddhu, a fearless daredevil from Mumbai, whose sole ambition is to compete in the underground extreme sports competition known as Maidaan.
His motivation stems from his brother, who died competing in Maidaan. He is also a true sportsman at heart and wants to win big bucks as well, so that he can enjoy the sunset from a lavish villa. Though his parents are against it, but Siddhu is determined.
Siddhu’s journey to Maidaan, hosted in Poland by the formidable Dev (Arjun Rampal), unravels a dangerous world controlled by Dev and his associates, including Dev’s father Mark.
As Siddhu delves deeper into Maidaan, he crosses paths with Patricia Novak (Amy Jackson), who reveals Dev’s involvement in his brother’s death. Fuelled by vengeance, Siddhu challenges Dev to a high-stakes race, leading to a gripping and explosive finale.
The final race between Siddhu and Dev, the ultimate face-off of two massively talented daredevils, is an absolute delight for action lovers.

Be it in a train or plane, on a motorbike or bicycle, or in boots, Jammwal is brilliant in the film’s action sequences, and these are complemented by a background score that heightens the tension and keeps audiences engaged.
One of the film’s standout features is its ground-breaking stunt choreography, which pushes the boundaries of Indian cinema’s stunt quotient. Vidyut Jammwal’s mastery of martial arts is on full display, adding a layer of authenticity and intensity to the action sequences.
