Crashh Review: A Story Of ‘Loss & Hope’ Blended With Family Drama That Will Tug At Your Heartstrings

Exploring the lost-and-found theme, there have been many movies and TV shows made in the last few decades. But ever wondered if these stories had an underlying effect on you, reaching to its core emotion, leaving a mark in your minds. Not many stories can forge up to that level, however, Kushal Zaveri’s sibling saga Crashh tugs at your heartstrings with an apt storyline perfectly blended with noteworthy performances.

The episodic saga begins with a quick flashback which ultimately sets the base of this story. In the opening frames, we see a ‘happy-together’ family on a late-night drive, probably heading home. Inside the car, there’s a couple and their four children bonding together, eventually living another “happy family” day. However, the uncertainty of life shows up as their car collides with another, turning their lives topsy-turvy. The couple dies in the accident and within no time the children are now orphans.

The story switches to the present, exactly 17 years post the horrific accident. A police inspector Kabir is on a quest to reunite with his missing family, he happens to be the elder one amongst the four siblings. The makers then treat us with four different characters and their different worlds as we try to find a common thread between them.

There’s Kabir (Kunj Anand), a Mumbai cop who’s searching for his missing family while dealing with the criminal world of the metro. The second one is Kaajal (Aditi Sharma), who’s well-aware of being an adopted kid and deals with her adoptive mother and her suicidal instincts. Then there’s Alia (Anushka Sen), who lives a lavish life and enjoys the privilege of being a social media influencer. Last but not least is Rahim (Rohan Mehra), a young driver who suffers the most finding himself on the wrong side of the law.

Loneliness is a recurring motif in Crashh as these four characters living in different worlds, leading exact opposite lifestyles, have one thing in common i.e., “solitude”. The episodic saga starts off with a lost-and-found theme, drawing you in for an emotional ride. However, there are crucial plot points that help the story find a mutual connection between these ‘four separated-by-fate’ siblings.

For instance, the consequences of a past love affair between Kaajal’s adoptive mother and Punit’s (Alia’s friend) father lead to a series of events. These events beautifully bring these four siblings together without being aware of the connection they share. The story further unfolds bringing new revelations and surprises for Kabir as he sets on a journey to reunite with his beloved siblings.

In the midst of the story, we believe that the siblings will be reunited towards the climax of the story. However, the ‘lost and found’ theme morphs Crashh into a suspense-driven drama after Rishabh’s (Zain Imam) entry. At first, Rishabh just seems to be Alia’s love interest but later he finds himself attracted to Kaajal due to the similarities they share.

But wait! That’s not the actual twist. Nearing the climax, a new revelation surfaces the plot changing all the equations ahead, leaving us with burning questions. The first season ends on a suspenseful note eventually making us crave for the story unfolding ahead. The storyline is engaging and is blended with the right performances that’ll keep you hooked to your screens.

The music has a say in Crashh’s plot as it not only compiles of emotive background composition but also has references to many classic Hindi songs from ‘Ae Zindagi Gale Laga Le’ to ‘Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli’ and few others. The camerawork is justified in building the right frames as per the story’s theme. Kushal Zaveri’s direction makes the story more interesting as he keeps it intriguing with new surprises in each episode.

Overall, Crashh is aptly titled as it essays a heartwarming collision of loss and hope. An entertaining-yet-emotional sibling saga that treats you with an engaging storyline, interesting themes, and noteworthy performances.
