After the delayed box office success of Tumbbad, Sohum Shah returned to the big screen with a one-of-its-kind thriller Crazxywhich features only one actor in the film and also features voiceovers by other talented actors like Tinnu Anand, Piyush Mishra, Nimisha Sajayan and Shilpa Shukla among others.
The film written and directed by Girish Kohli received largely positive reviews upon its release but the audience was polarised over its ambitious ending.
At the box office, the film has made over Rs 6 crore in six days of the release and is expected to end week one with Rs 7 crore approx at the domestic box office.

As the film enters second week, Sohum Shah has pulled off the unthinkable. He changed the climax of the film a week after the release and the reason behind the same is the mixed response to the ending.
Sharing the same, veteran trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, “'CRAZXY': NEW CLIMAX FROM *FRIDAY*... In a daring move, the makers of #Crazxy have done the unthinkable: CHANGING THE CLIMAX POST-RELEASE. Responding to audience feedback, #SohumShah has taken a bold step to amplify the impact with a *brand-new climax*. Experience the updated version of #Crazxy in theatres from Friday. #CrazxyInCinemas”.

A third fan reacted, “This may be the dumbest thing I've ever heard.”
A fourth fan wrote, “So glad they did this because the climax didn’t work and pulled down an otherwise good film! May be it’s time to go watch it again #letsdoit”.

Audacious - yes, but not dumb. Possibly those who watched & liked may come again for the alternative end.

Even if that doesn't happen - kudos for them to try something most would ridicule.
Visiting the theater for updated climax and spending money on this movie is a waste of time. It’s not a cinematic experience, and it’s even a bit cheating to viewers who watched it earlier. Only when it’s available on streaming services will it be worth watching. #Crazxy https://t.co/kQu4kEEUfp

Acchi movie hai but climax kuch jayda hi bekar hai https://t.co/iSJww6OZyV
It’s interesting to see that just like the original climax, the move about changing the climax has also received a mixed response from the audience.
Crazxy new climax will be available to watch for the audiences from Friday, February 7, 2025. Moreover, in its second week, the film will have no new competition.
