Crew

A roughly predictable story line but I wasn't one to complain because these 3 ladies looked absolutely amazing in every scene. There were many instances where I burst out laughing.

Kareena with her charm, Tabu who looks simply amazing & Kriti with her youthful charisma.

In the midst of all that comedy, it also showcases the life of air stewards and it's not always a bed of roses and the extent a woman would go to achieve her dreams, fend for her family and get what she wants.

If you're looking for a feel good movie to relax and unwind with your workplace crush after work, this is the right pick for you.

The Crew took off and landed safely as predicted.

Crew (2024) : Movie Review:

This Crew Needed A Better Flight To Fly

Crew Review: Rajesh Krishnan surprised everyone with Tripling and Lootcase, and so the expectations were similar or higher from Crew. With three gorgeous ladies in the lead and never-seen-before aerial heist drama, this Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon starrer was expected to fly high and even took off on a decent note, but unfortunately, the flight couldn't land safely. There was some unrepairable turbulence in the second half that took this exciting heist comedy down. A few comic punches worked because of adult humour and urban touches, but were they enough? Frankly, no, but they do pass on some good laughs. This Crew needed a better pilot, better training, and better study material than what it has to fly high. Let's say, air traffic jammed it.

So, Crew can be called a wannabe parody of Vijay Mallya's scam, as here we have Vijay Waliya (Saswata Chatterjee), the owner of Kohinoor Airliner. We have three super hot air hostesses: Divya Rana (Kriti Sanon), Jasmin (Kareena Kapoor), and Geeta Sethi (Tabu), who are not getting paid enough and are struggling to get a respectable income. After trying all the right and honest ways of life, these three finally decide to join the dishonest gang at once by smuggling gold from India to the Middle East. Sooner or later, they were supposed to get caught, but what happens when they are looted by a rich man? These three must gang up to get what was "ours," even though you have to turn a plain comedy into a heist comedy for that.

Nidhi Mehra and Mehul Suri's Crew has a decent first half, but things crash down heavily in the second half. Parodying Vijay Mallya and his scam was okay; it was somewhat funny, but trying to capture him and seize gold was too much. The concept goes terribly wrong, and there are reasons for it. In the first half, you relate to the story because you can feel the struggle of those three ladies and their friends (crew members). However, the second half is not about them, so you lose all the connection and all the interest in the story.

It's okay to take inspiration from The Italian Job and Oceans Eleven, but you don't have to drag those ideas into your fictional parody world by saying that it's all done for society's sake. The second half of Crew is full of loopholes. More holes (windows) than any plane can have. Nidhi and Mehul's sarcastic attempt at urban comedy is praiseworthy, but the comical sense was cheap. Nobody cares what's happening in the personal lives of those three ladies because they haven't had an inspiring or stable life. For instance, Divya (Kriti Sanon) is a topper, a sports champion, and always ready to fight the wrongs. She scares the hell outta referee for his wrong decision-that's more like it. But what happens to this smart, intelligent, and honest girl in the very next moment when she has quick sex with a stranger without any hi, hello, or even a formal introduction (forget love)? I never saw a dead man having a boner after death (almost after 10 minutes). You can't be serious, man. This is some next-level crap.

I must say, Crew has plenty of glamour. Tabu hasn't been doing glamorous roles lately, except for De De Pyaar De, but here, she gets a complete new makeover. What a sexy makeover she has got here! The best and most aggressive dialogues also go into her kitty. Kriti Sanon is "Kali" (bud). She is young, dashing, and sexy, and she looks damn confident as an air hostess. Kareena gets into her Bebo mode again. Only this time around, you have to see her antagonising a few things. But then, she also has a few emotional scenes. Trupti Khamkar has done a fantastic job and will surely get your appreciation. Rajesh Sharma was a bit irritating in some scenes with those fake laughter and expressions, and the same goes for Saswata Chatterjee. I never could have imagined these two senior actors being wasted like this. Kapil Sharma had a sensible role, but with low screen time. Diljit Dosanjh has a somewhat interesting role, which isn't elevated well enough.

Anil Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor have spent a nice budget on the lavish scale and look of the film. The costumes are exquisite, the locations are gorgeous, and the production design looks beautiful. Anuj Rakesh Dhawan's close-up shots of the three leading ladies are stimulating, but sometimes they expose the make-up they are wearing. That's scary. The music is tappy, as "Choli," "Naina," and "Ghagra" set the party mood right. Rajesh Krishnan's direction skills see a dip in quality compared to what he has done in Lootcase and Tripling, but more than him, it's the script that deserves to be blamed. Krishnan's over-the-top jokes can still take multiplex audiences on a roll, but they may not get enough support from the masses. Crew is a little screwed-actually very much screwed-in the second half, but there are some scenes that give you a little pleasure of new-age female-driven comedy. The rest of the show is strictly below average, and no oxygen mask can save you from that.

RATING - 4/10*

Just watched this on Netflix, movie was going good and had that entertainment element in it but then came the last 30 minutes where the movie transformed into a spy thriller. Movie had unnecessary small details just to make it sense in the final 30 minutes but that didn't make sense, what was the director even thinking, guy wrote a casual good entertainer then decided to go absolute crazy. Final 30 minutes obviously doesn't make any sense but also lacks any comical element, it's just that they somehow wanted to finish the marathon, felt like they ran backwards. The makers got confused and stitched two movies together. This is a prime example of how to not make a movie, disappointed to stick around for last 30 minutes.

I am regretting my decision after watching this movie this movie has no story, no comedy, no suspense, this movie has nothing good. I seen IMDb rating of 9:00 and got fooled by its rating. I think it has very good rating because it is just released. But I am telling that this movie has nothing good. I was too cold watching this movie this movie is supposed to be funny but I didn't smile for once watching this movie. I was watching this movie with my family my whole family has seen bad experience. Don't spend your money on this movie this movie is not worth it. The story is so bad I don't have any words to say.

So where do we start no main story in this just 3 crew women who are friends and supportive to each other not a cinema watch don't get the hype created by this film its also coming out on netflix in May to watch at comfort of your homes it was dragging and to be honest boring similar roles taken by kareena she trying to act younger in her poo bani parvathi days from k3g she looks tired it scenes tabu need to chill out and let other actresses have films she getting boring to watch kirti was good songs are remakes they will have to do but don't waste your money to cinemas not a big deal movies stay at home.
