Crew – The delightful combination of Tabu, Kareena, and Kriti ensures the success of this lighthearted adventure
Crew (Hindi)
Director: Rajesh A Krishnan
Cast: Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Kapil Sharma, Dilijit Dosanjh
Duration: 118 minutes
From the creators of “Veere Di Wedding,” the film – Crew continues the theme of three powerful women having fun while maintaining the cobweb script’s appeal with some clever editing and a catchy background soundtrack.
It’s in the category of feel-good movies where the characters, even when they’re in trouble, have jaw-dropping affluence. Director Rajesh Krishnan uses the year’s best casting coup to highlight upper middle class tricks and feed the aspirations of the Instagram generation with controlled emotions. The light-hearted performer, who switches between danger and spice, is eager to illustrate that modern ladies are just as capable of drinking and complaining as well as the affluent lads. Following a string of rather masculine aerial exploits, this time it’s the females who are decked up to steal the show.
Three air hostesses who manage their own homes—Geeta (Tabu), Jasmine (Kareena Kapoor), and Divya (Kriti Sanon)—become entangled in a web of situations that make it difficult to distinguish between necessity and greed.
Storyline: Three females who are having a hard time making ends meet are given an opportunity to improve their life in a jiffy.
The authors have conjured up a sinister cause and effect based on the abrupt derailment of a well-known airline. An accidental pot of gold slips into the hands of the three crew members, who are driven by greed and need to plan a robbery.
The plot of tricking the conman is intriguing, and there are flashes of brilliant inventiveness, but Nidhi Mehra and Mehul Suri rely a bit too heavily on Tabu, Kareena, and Kriti’s smart wit to work their magic. The movie confronts the viewer similarly to the males in the movie, who become irrational as the main characters expose their bold and beautiful bodies. Although Tabu and Kareena’s mocking comments on their age mesh nicely, their brilliance often calls for a more complex storyline.
From the beginning, the three have forged a strong relationship and given the characters a sarcastic sense of humor, but their impressive performance and glitz cannot conceal the screenplay’s fundamental hilarity. We are aware that an image’s quality does not grow with resolution. The writing eventually becomes as ordinary and self-aware as the tedious task of finding out what the other passengers want to eat on a plane—a technique the writers have themselves employed to create incidental humor. The desperate attempt to make people laugh is so evident that you can see the script’s highlighted passages on the screen when Krishnan is trying to make them laugh or smile.
Therefore, whenever Tabu plays out a routine event, like the drill of providing security instructions to her husband, played by Kapil Sharma, we continue to applaud her comedic timing and her spell-casting skills. While Kriti’s innate flare for drama is impressive, Kareena Kapoor is the real star of this trip, both literally and figuratively. The three might cause the characters to have anxious moments, even in the loud environment.
In roles intended as three scenes with a single end credit song, Kapil and Diljit Dosanjh have been given minimal leeway to express themselves. As the Mallaya-style tycoon, Saswata Chatterjee makes an impression.
The whole background soundtrack is taken from Subhash Ghai’s Khal Nayak song “Choli Ke Peeche,” yet it fits the movie well and is a true testament to Laxmikant Pyarelal’s mastery of an addictive riff that endures for three decades. But Hero No. 1’s “Sona Kitna Sona” is played over and over again, and it becomes annoying. It seems as though the creators left the sets to the gorgeous women to do their thing during a tumultuous moment in the second half. The good news is that Krishnan closes his store right before the goods start to lose their glitter.
