Hershowingg mindless action that sometimes doesn't even pack a punch has been quite a favourite genre for Bollywood. And Crakk: Jeetega Toh Jiyegaa doesn't do anything differently to stand out in the crowd. For the novelty factor,an t make it look somewhat different from other actioners, the film infuses a lot of extreme sports with action, but it lacks depth in its narrative and never appears fully convincing as far as the storyline is concerned.

Crakk struggles for most part
The plot
The film opens with Siddharth Dixit aka Siddhu (Vidyut Jammwal), a slum dweller in Mumbai trying dangerous, life-threatening stunts on a moving local train. He leans out of the door, touches poles, climbs on the top and runs from one compartment to another like a cakewalk. His friends call him crack (crazy in the head). Though crack is also an adjective used for very well trained and skilful sports players, I'm not sure if Crakk actually intended to play on this very emotion. Here, it's Vidyut's eccentricities, his passion for trying potentially-fatal stunts, and extreme sports that form the crux of the plot.
The story also gives a flashback, where his elder brother Nihal (Ankit Mohan) lost his life in Maidaan, an underground survival sports competition, and hence the parents don't want Siddhu to follow his footsteps. But, Siddhu couldn't care less. He continues to film himself doing these dangerous stunts, often getting caught by the police, but he eventually makes it to Maidaan and from the streets of Mumbai, is soon smuggled to a sports arena in Poland.
