Critical response
Dhaval Roy of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Crakk: Jeetagaa Toh Jiyegaa delivers on the thrilling action front, offering a refreshing glimpse into the world of extreme sports on the big screen. However, its reliance on predictable tropes and a somewhat underwhelming storyline might leave you wanting more".[24] Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Crakk is high on action and stunts but lacks the thrill and several times tests your patience".[25]
Bollywood Hungama critic gave 2/5 stars and praised its action sequences, concept and technical aspects, but criticized its script and runtime.[26] Rishil Jogani of Pinkvilla gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Despite being a breakthrough in terms of action in films in India, Crakk ends up as an irredeemable film".[27]
Sonil Dedhia of News18 gave 1/5 stars and wrote "Vidyut Jammwal and Arjun Rampal’s action entertainer is a cheap and dumb down version of Squid Game".[28] Mayur Sanap of Rediff gave 1/5 stars and wrote "With no redeeming qualities whatsoever, Crakk is absolute crap!".[29] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 1/5 and opined Crakk is "Marred by terrible acting, disorienting editing, a strident background score and overwrought sound design."[30]
Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times wrote "Crakk isn't just calling all adrenaline junkies to enjoy the kick, but it wishes to cater to that particular niche who has a penchant for these extreme sports and action".[31] Rahul Desai of Film Companion wrote "Crakk is needlessly convoluted, long and self-sabotaging".[32]
