‘Crew’ is a delightful caper that sails smoothly on the shoulders of its charming trio – Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon. Directed by Rajesh Krishnan, the film presents a lively tale set against the backdrop of Kohinoor Airlines, a thinly veiled representation of the real-life Kingfisher Airlines. Tabu shines as Geeta Sethi, effortlessly embodying her older woman avatar within the crew, while Kareena Kapoor Khan, portraying Jasmine Bajwa, expertly navigates the fine line between greed and need. Kriti Sanon, as Divya Rana, holds her own amidst the veteran actresses, adding a fresh dynamic to the ensemble.
The narrative unfolds with a heist-like premise, introducing a colorful array of characters who complement the leading ladies. Kapil Sharma impresses as Arun Sethi, a home-chef with dreams of owning a restaurant in Goa, while Diljit Dosanjh exudes grounded charisma as the smitten customs officer, Jaiveer. The film’s brisk pace and snappy dialogue keep the audience engaged, despite occasional contrivances and convenient plot loops.
While the emotional core of the film is delicately woven into the storyline, excessive product placements detract from the overall experience. However, the chemistry between the lead actresses and their lived-in performances overshadow these minor flaws. Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon effortlessly embody their characters, showcasing a blend of glamour and authenticity that is refreshing to watch.
In summary, “Crew” offers a bre Kharbanda ezy escape into the world of these spirited air hostesses, delivering plenty of self-aware chuckles along the way. With its ensemble cast and lighthearted tone, the film provides a much-needed reprieve from recent Bollywood disappointments. Rajesh Krishnan’s direction, coupled with stellar performances, earns “Crew” a solid rating of 3.5 stars, making it a worthwhile watch for audiences seeking entertainment and escapism.
