Got a chance to watch it at Vue London. Entertaining, great one liners having the audience in splits. Good story, lovely direction with a cool twist in the end. For once I wished the ending was real. :-) Tabbu was her usual best, Kareena in her true bebop style while kriti is getting better by the day.

Family entertainer, ladies must watch and a movie cabin crew ppl can't miss on. Kareena Kapoor, Tabu & Kriti stole the show as they all have delivered tremendous performances. Kareena Kapoor though outshined everybody with the way she carried herself in the character of "Jasmine". Movie throughout is a ride of laughter which adds a lot to the movie. Loved how the script has used male stars in a way in which they have only pushed and developed the story of the female leads. That's so empowering.

Rajesh A Krishnan's Crew comes across as a much needed breadth of fresh air amidst the propaganda and heavy action films. It is a delight to watch three actresses from different schools of acting coming together and having a blast. Particular mention must be made of Tabu and Kareena Kapoor. Kareena Kapoor Jasmine is someone who is unapologetically greedy and does not mind presenting herself as rich, at the same time there is a big loneliness underneath her fiesty nature. Kareena Kapoor does a brilliant job in portraying the different shades, Tabu's Geetha is caught between dreams and responsibilities and Tabu is her usual brilliant self. Kriti Sanon is also fairly good particularly in the scenes where her character has to show the moral dilemmas. There is a strong sense of sisterhood with some crackling chemistry. The men are also good in spite of the limited screen time. Diljit Dosanjh is so charming as the customs officer smitten with Kriti Sanon's character. KapiI Sharma as Tabu's husband spreads so much warmth. Khulbushan Kharbanda is also solid as Kareena's grandfather.

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.

The crew is a perfect example of how female led comedies can rule the box offices and the critics reviews.

I personally loved the script the jokes generated a lot of laughter and a mirth-filled atmosphere was created in the theatre from the funny jokes cracked. Tabus acting and comic timing was truly unparalleled her jokes take us back to the 2000's era where the light hearted comedies would rule the box offices. In addition to that kareenas performance is also very commendable, some might suggest that her acting is a bit over the top but i felt it was justified in each moment as the film genuinely demanded such acting , kriti sanon also shines in moments.

Lastly my favourite scene would be the one where tabu says "plane challlaaaaa" to kriti to persuade her to fly the plane 😂

Crew is a lighthearted heist comedy that promises an enjoyable ride filled with laughter. Directed by Rajesh Krishnan, the film boasts a talented ensemble cast and an entertaining storyline that keeps audiences engaged. The screenplay keeps the momentum going, aided by good editing that ensures a seamless flow of events. Dialogues are good, although there's a missed opportunity for more humor to be injected into the script. While the story presents ample opportunities for comedic moments, the humor feels somewhat limited in the film.

Special mention must be made of the cinematography and soundtrack of "Crew," which contribute significantly to the film's overall appeal. The first half of the film takes off with a good pace, delivering laughs and building anticipation effectively. However, the second half suffers from rushed writing, with scenes appearing hurried to conclude the film within a specific time frame. Despite this, the movie maintains a balance between humor and a slightly serious tone in the latter half.

One of the highlights of the movie is its stellar cast. Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan & Kriti Sanon delivered confident impressive performances and they created a riot together on screen. Diljit Dosanjh and Rajesh Sharma deliver decent performances, while Trupti Khamkar shines with her hilarious portrayal. However, Saswata Chatterjee has little to offer, and Kapil Sharma's special appearance is just passable.

Overall, Crew is an enjoyable heist comedy that delivers laughs and entertainment, albeit with some missed opportunities for greater humor. With its talented cast and vibrant presentation, "Crew" is worth a watch for those needing a good laugh.

Direction 3/5 Acting 3/5 Music 3.5/5 Story 2.5/5 Screenplay 3/5.

As someone eagerly anticipating Crew, I had high hopes for an exhilarating heist comedy. However, the film never quite reaches its full potential. Despite featuring a star-studded cast and a promising concept, it struggles to soar due to its lackluster execution.

One aspect that shines is the trio of leading ladies. Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon dazzle on screen with their charm and elegance, injecting life into their characters. Their performances add some much-needed flair to the movie, masking some of its flaws. Additionally, Director Rajesh A. Krishnan's signature absurd humor, reminiscent of "Lootcase," brings occasional chuckles, though it's not enough to compensate for the film's shortcomings.

The crux of the issue lies in the narrative's inability to sustain momentum. While the first half promises excitement and intrigue, the second half disappointingly falls flat. Predictable plot points and lack of depth leave much to be desired, ultimately failing to deliver the anticipated thrills.

**To sum it up:** Crew is a visually appealing but ultimately forgettable film. While it may serve as a pleasant diversion for those seeking star power and a light-hearted storyline, it falls short of delivering the gripping heist comedy it initially promises. Disappointment awaits those expecting a more captivating and surprising cinematic experience.

Very good movie, women centric, new generation thinking and deserves it's global recognition... Has represented all types of classes and gives us an insight on how these empowering ladies can manage to survive in the world with their intellect as well with their wits... They definitely won't stand down when it comes to a fight, and they're not afraid when their plan fails, because there's always a plan B... This is one of the best women centric movies ever released, especially in the Bollywood industry... It deserves much more praise than what is given... It definitely deserves a watch and it will leave an impact for all of its viewers and fans!!!

I'm a fan of Tabu and Kareena ma'am. I used to see them since childhood, I think that could be the reason. They do natural acting and I like them both on comedy roles because they are funny. Story? Yes, the film do have an interesting story. Let's keep the actors aside and let's talk about the story only. The writers failed at the end. Everything went so smooth that there's no suspense. It doesn't always happens like that, the way it's shown in the movie. I'm a fan of Drishyam writer, he should have written this movie because the topic was so interesting but the ending was super awful. The movie kept me engaging the whole time until the last few moments. I was like, how is that possible? The actors did super job but whoever have written this movie, spoiled it. Everything is good in the movie, I totally loved the performers, but somehow I feel that the writers failed on delivering it. No spoilers from my side. I have watched this movie and I want others to feel the same as me. So, I will rate this 7 out of 10. This is not the best movie but slightly higher than average. It's not a bad movie, you can watch but I'm upset with the story writer. Thank you.

I don't know why I watched this movie this movie has nothing new to offer a typical another Bollywood movie. Story doesn't make any sense why air hostess are shown that poor and they don't even know how to spend well are they really dumb, stupid comedy, well what else you can expect from Ekta Kapoor movies, there are many flaws in the movie acting is not up to mark. Just unnecessary attention making film. It's better to watch Godzilla and kong don't know why I went for this crap crew movie.. sorry guys if you really want to waste your money then go for it. But don't expect much from this. In the name of feminism they sell everything stupid.

A movie with a so-so plot base but a package full of exciting turns and Chills. Personally, I liked the character JASMINE played by our very own DIVA "Kareena Kapoor Khan"...Her Glam and act was literally outstanding and up to the mark .She emerged as an epitome of Beauty with Brains. Diljeet Dosanjh was the cherry on the cake 🍰🍰 🍒......

Tabu on the contrary is a well polished Veteran actor with sense of maturity but was a perfect fit for showcasing notriousness. She is a total 💯.....

Kriti as we can see fall short in acting skills infront of Kareena and Tabu.

Overall a GenZ movie of 2024......

A formulaic but fun heist film. The three roles of the air hostesses from different backgrounds were tailor-made for these three stunning actresses and all of them showed why they are the stars that they are. The film had a lot of ridiculousness but the two-hour running time made sure everything went swiftly so we didn't stay on anything for too long. For all the "Vijay Vallya" character and parallels to the real events and the way the film tries to make it look like they are making these people pay, they also made sure to show that at the end of the day, even this film is just a corporate product to appease the people so nothing like this happens in reality by filling every single scene with product placements. If they were gonna use this much product placement, they could have at least not made it look like they are trying to take a stand against someone and such actions. These people would attend the parties hosted by those people abroad and joke about how this movie fooled people. But all that is not really about the movie which was always supposed to be just a fun caper and nothing more. But it could have certainly been better than this.

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.

Film Review: Crew currently screening in theatres ( watch later when it streams on Netflix, the OTT streaming partner)

3 airhostesses - Tabu , Kareena & Kriti who fall into bad times have to resort to smuggling gold for a dubious person. After nearly getting caught, they turn over a new leaf , plan a heist ,get the stolen gold back and also get the bad guy in the end !!

Saying this in jest ... This film is ABT how India got "Vijay Malya" back in an alternate universe 😁😁!! The ladies make it seem so easy !!

Coming to the Positives : Great cast , the 3 leading ladies rock . Chemistry between the trio is really the USP of the film. Reminds u of the camaraderie between the 4 heroines in "Veere Di Wedding" which also was an out and out woman centric film. Rajesh Sharma is brilliant, Diljeet Dosanjh & Kapil Sharma do well in their small roles.

The film is very easy going with something or the other happening continuously. Not boring at all!! There are some good one-liners which are funny , but definitely less funny than what u saw in Veere Di Wedding!! The two remixes - Choli ke peeche & Sona kitna Sona hai are integrated seamlessly in the narrative and are are presented aesthetically!!

Downer : the script in the second half of the film cudve focussed more on the intricacies involved in planning the heist The robbery looks a bit rushed with no tense moments which definitely wudve provided the viewers with a better sense of fulfillment ( something that we saw in BABY !!)

All in all, a decently made crime comedy film which is also the first woman centric film in this genre !!

Don't try to search for logic and u might actually end up enjoying it !!

Going with 3/5 for this one ... Adios 🙂!!

Crew as a refreshing change in the Bollywood landscape, diverging from the typical action-packed blockbusters to deliver a much-needed dose of comedy and lighthearted entertainment. Kareena Kapoor's portrayal is captivating, showcasing her versatility as she effortlessly transitions into the comedic realm. Alongside her, Kriti and Tabu shine, their chemistry on screen adding an infectious charm to the film. The director's adept guidance ensures that each moment in Crew is imbued with genuine emotion and humor, striking a perfect balance that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. Indeed, Crew stands as a testament to the power of laughter and camaraderie, offering a heartwarming escape for viewers seeking joy and connection through cinema.

Crew fits right into the comedy genre of films with signature bright colors, dazzling lighting, one-liners, melodramatic sequences that Balaji Telefilms Productions is known for. However, the film is far from balanced in these elements. The movie goes at a brisk pace and yet the screenplay isn't designed to keep the viewer hooked as it lays the inevitable in front of us. The film demands the viewer to suspend their disbelief as too many convenient happy accidents carry the script forward. The non-linear narrative is simplified and flows well.

The direction is genuinely good at times. Rajesh Krishnan's slapstick comedy lands well but the limitations of the writing do hold him back. What saves the film is its leading actors. Tabu is fantastic in the film. She brings her A game in acting provides the comedy a nuance that the film needed. Kareena Kapoor's charm works as well as Tabu's subtle approach. Kriti portrays her character's naivety and overachiever complex with finesse.

Bonus points for not being didactic about feminism for the cast itself does a fantastic job at portraying it for everyone to see. To the unionisation of the middle class!

Watch it at your own risk. And if you want to learn how to get a headache. Worst movie of 2024. And in my list of worst-ever movies.

An impressive cast ensemble wasted. Frankly. Can't see why they signed up for this trash.

The classic song choli ke peeche in its redux avatar is lacking in lustre or should i say lacking the lust. While the original still is a turn on.

The wisecracks don't work give or take a few. The first half is repetitive as if on a loop. The second, even the director doesn't know which direction to take.

Surprised at the good reviews it's getting from the media.

Total waste of money. You will be better off flushing it down the toilet.

Screw crew or get screwed.

Whether one is a dedicated fan of Bollywood or simply appreciates good cinema, Crew is a must-watch for its stellar performances, engaging storyline, and undeniable charm. It is a testament to the power of collaboration and creativity, showcasing what can be achieved when talented individuals come together to craft something truly special. As the film continues to resonate with audiences, it serves as a reminder of the enduring magic of cinema and the universal language of laughter. Hats off to the entire cast and crew for delivering a cinematic gem that will be cherished for years to come.

Amazing 😍

Crew as a refreshing departure from the typical Bollywood fare, offering a welcome respite from the onslaught of action-packed blockbusters. Kareena Kapoor's portrayal is nothing short of captivating as she effortlessly transitions into the comedic realm, showcasing her remarkable versatility once again. The film's strength lies not only in Kapoor's magnetic presence but also in the seamless chemistry among her co-stars Kriti and Tabu. Their on-screen camaraderie is infectious, immersing the audience in a world of laughter and lighthearted fun. Director's masterful guidance ensures that every moment in Crew is imbued with genuine emotion and humor, striking a perfect balance between entertainment and heartfelt storytelling.

The national geographic series banged up abroad was much better. Whenever you make heist movies it should be really fast paced & with lots of twists and turns. We have had great examples...taking of Pelham, the usual suspects, oceans series, Italian job.... Even in Bollywood, we had special 26 and the recent chor nikal ke bhaga but this is nowhere close.

It felt like the movie was made for the cast to have fun and enjoy the camaraderie.

The thing it lacked the most is the raunchiness and a strong antagonist. Even the most ordinary cuss words were either muted or replaced. The comedy element felt flat. Wonder why Kapil Sharma chose to do such a forgettable role. The only spark in this film was kriti sanon. To her outfits and the swag she carried, she just nailed it, a close 2nd will be Mrs Kareena kapoor khan.

Rest of the cast are just fillers. Diljit Dosanjh is wasted. In the name of music there are 2 Ila Arun remixed songs so nothing much to say about it. One word, can be avoided and watched later on Netflix.

Crew is a captivating Bollywood film that weaves together ambition, suspense, and humor, leaving us on the edge of our seats. Throughout. Performances of Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon effortlessly bring depth and authenticity to their characters.

Its gripping storyline follows three ambitious women on a quest for wealth, only to find themselves ensnared in a perilous game providingus laughters and thrills. As the narrative unfolds, we are submerged into a thrilling journey filled with unexpected twists and turns, keeping us guessing until the very end.

Almost every scene is brimming with tension and intrigue.

Moreover, the film's soundtrack adds another layer of depth to the narrative, perfectly complementing the emotional highs and lows of the characters.

Crew is the new age cinematic masterpiece that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impact. The new gen comedy suspense somewhat drawing parallels to a similar genre classic - Jackie Brown, also a female centric film. This film is a testament to the talent and creativity of Indian cinema. With its stellar performances, gripping storyline, and impeccable direction, Crew is undoubtedly a must-watch for everyone.

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*
