The Sohum Shah starrer Crazxy is running in cinemas now. Touted to be a one-of-its-kind thriller, Crazxy has recorded an underwhelming theatrical run so far. Opened with Rs 1 crore, the movie put up a total of Rs 5.25 crore net in its 6 days of theatrical run at the Indian box office.

Acknowledging the criticism around its less-satisfying climax, the makers have now decided to change the ending for an impactful experience. The new version will reportedly begin playing in cinemas from this Friday onwards. The question rises- Can this bold move of Sohum Shah benefit the movie as per business concerns?

Changing the climax post-release has not been seen in recent times for any movie. Since, Crazxy majorly received positive word-of-mouth and the only criticism was about its less satisfying climax, this move can definitely give a new life to its box office performance.

The makers need to spread the word well so that they can bring not only the new audience but also the ones who had already watched the original climax in cinemas again. Though, a very less percent of the audience (true cinephiles) is expected to revisit the cinemas just for the new ending. Majorly, the crowd is likely to wait for its streaming release.

The Girish Kohli-directed movie might see some surge in collections after this move. However, it is not expected to do anything magical for the movie. The box office fate of Crazxy is almost locked and that shall not change with the new climax.

On the work front, Sohum Shah is expected to begin the production of the Tumbbad sequel very soon. Looking at the cult status around its first installment, the mytho-horror sequel should see a banger theatrical run.
