Crazxy movie ending explained: Why Vedika had to prove herself
Whatever happened at the end of Crazxy movie was unbelievable and mind-blowing. We never thought that behind all this could be Dr. Abhimanyu's daughter Vedika. So today, we are going to explain this ending: why did Abhimanyu's daughter do this? Why did Vedika kidnap herself? What was the reason for making such a big master plan, and when did she make it? So, Dr Abhimanyu leaves his wife and daughter and lives with his new wife, but no reason is given for the separation of Abhimanyu and his ex-wife. Abhimanyu did not like his daughter, i.e. Vedika because his daughter had a disease called “Down syndrome”. I am sorry if I am taking the wrong name, this disease comes with birth. Now, the person suffering from this disease faces many problems in his body like slow growth of the body, slow brain movement, slow behaviour, etc., and Vedika was also going through all these problems. That's why Abhimanyu doesn't like her, and after some time, he starts hating Vedika to the extent that he doesn't even introduce Vedika to his friend circle. Then, later, he leaves his wife and Vedika, and I feel that Vedika might be the reason for their divorce. Then, later on, a patient dies from Abhimanyu, and the patient's family asks for Rs 5 crore as settlement money, which Abhimanyu agrees to pay and leaves with the money. Then he gets a call on the way that his daughter Vedika has been kidnapped and the kidnapper demands five crore rupees in exchange for Vedika Abhimanyu first thinks that this call is a prank call so he ignores it but when he gets proof that his daughter i.e. Vedika has really been kidnapped then he agrees to give five crore rupees to the kidnappers. So Abhimanyu delivered the money to the location given by the kidnapper, but after going there, Abhi found out that it was all a drama and that this drama was created by his daughter Vedika. So here a question arises: why did Vedika do this drama? Vedika did this drama to prove herself because Abhimanyu considered his daughter Vedika mentally weak and hated her. So Vedika made this kidnapping master plan to prove herself smart and intelligent. But how and when did Vedika make this master plan? So see, as soon as Vedika came to know that her father was going to give settlement money of five crore rupees to someone, she came to know about this because Vedika had stolen Abhi's phone and from that, only Vedika came to know that Abhimanyu is going to give five crore rupees to someone and Vedika found this a good opportunity to execute her kidnapping plan and she executed her plan as well. Abhimanyu's ex-wife and Vedika's teacher were also involved in this kidnapping. That is, to show herself as a smart girl, Vedika had made a realistic kidnapping plan that would not look fake at all. For example, when Abhimanyu changes the tyre and moves ahead, the police start following him. Actually, that was a part of Vedika's plan so that Abhimanyu feels that the police are following him even if it is for a few seconds. Then, in the end, after giving five crore rupees to the kidnapper, Abhimanyu goes to a bridge to pick up Vedika. Here, he sees many roles in which he has to find Vedika.

Dupahiya Web Series Review: Ek Aur Panchayat
There is a series on Amazon Prime Video named Dupahiya, I have seen it and when I saw its trailer, I got an idea that this series will give us the vibes of TVF's Panchayat, but is it of that quality or better than that or is it just a time pass, let's talk about it. There is a village in Bihar named Dhadakpur, where no crime of any kind has taken place in the last 24 years. Now, in such a situation, a theft takes place in that village, that to a bike which was to be given as dowry in the marriage of a girl of that village and if the bike is not found, then the marriage of that girl will get cancelled and if the police come to know that there has been a theft in the village, then the 24-year no crime record of that village will be broken. Now the question arises of how the bike got stolen, who is the thief, does the bike got back or not and in all this what problems do the girl's family and the villagers face, and how the suspense unfolds, this has been presented to you in a satire way with some comic situations and dialogues. By the way, after some research, I found out that its writer and creator is Avinash Dwivedi; after finishing the whole series, I came to know that he was also the main character in it. From the characters, I remember that except for Renuka Shahane's character portrayal, everyone has done a great job. All the actors got so involved in their roles that you, too, will feel connected to those characters with some emotion or the other. Renuka Shahane's role was good and necessary, too, but the Bihari accent given to her seemed very forceful comparing others. It also stars our Laapataa Ladies actor Sparsh Shrivastav, and mark my words, this boy has the potential to make the film industry proud in the future; he smooth acting; it doesn't seem like he is acting; he has dissolved and absorbed every emotion, such is Sparsh's acting. Look, this is a series of nine episodes and the average time of each episode is almost 30 to 35 minutes. So, it will take you at least four and a half hours to binge-watch this series but you will enjoy it. There shouldn't have been any songs. Even the BGM was not suitable in the necessary scenes. You might not remember that it had such a BGM. Only that song with the male dancer in the ladies' avatar was a good performance, and both the actors danced so well in that song. The situation that is created there is written after a lot of thought, and that scene is an example of proper screenwriting. Until the last episode, you will not get to know who stole the bike and the way the suspense opens up in the last episode, and everything is revealed; I got the vibe of a proper suspense thriller, I swear. But because comedy has been added to it, it has a soothing ending. Otherwise, you will feel every moment that you are watching another version of Panchayat made in an alternate universe, only the story is a little different. In the future, Panchayat's Phulera village and this show's Dhadakpur may collaborate as both are Amazon's shows, so it can happen. By the way, there is no vulgar content in the series, and there is very minor abuse in one or two places, but the show has been made in a completely family-friendly way, so if you want, you can watch it with them, but if you prefer to watch it with friends, you will enjoy it. This series also gives some good messages in the end.
