The release of the all-women star-cast film Crew this Friday is anticipated to make a modest start at the box office. With a cast including Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon, the film aims to revive the trend of female-centric movies that had slowed down in recent years. Produced by Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, Crew brings together a diverse set of talents, catering to different segments of the audience.
The film revolves around three spirited flight attendants portrayed by Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon, who find themselves embroiled in a crime comedy plot. While Kareena Kapoor shines in her carefree avatar, Tabu’s performance stands out despite a sketchy character arc. The narrative, however, encounters turbulence as it struggles to maintain momentum, lacking genuine inspiration in execution.
Directed by Rajesh A. Krishnan, Crew attempts to blend absurdist humor with social commentary, portraying the struggles of its protagonists against the backdrop of an unjust economic system. Although the film showcases glamour and sass, courtesy of its talented leads, it falls short of soaring to greater heights due to its predictable plotline and occasional lack of depth.
Despite the film’s shortcomings, the lead actresses, including Kareena Kapoor, have actively promoted Crew, sharing glimpses of their camaraderie and behind-the-scenes moments on social media. Director Rajesh Krishnan has emphasized the harmonious working environment on set, dispelling rumors of ego clashes among the stars.
As Crew takes flight in theaters, fans eagerly anticipate an entertaining cinematic experience, buoyed by the promise of an engaging narrative and stellar performances from its ensemble cast. With the support of its dedicated fan base and the allure of its star-studded lineup, Crew aims to make its mark in the competitive landscape of Bollywood cinema.
