Review of the movie Crew:
Crew: A Movie Review When was the last time you saw a female-led Bollywood heist movie? Not able to think of any? Our research indicates that this is because it’s an unexplored genre. Into this lesser-known area, Overseas, Oceans Eight, Thelma & Louise, Hustlers, Widow, and Mad Money ventured and established a precedent. Finally, back home, we have Crew, a heist comedy starring Tabu, Kriti Sanon, and Kareena Kapoor Khan. Undoubtedly, it is a novel and genre-defining work, but does it merit a place in this elite group? The likelihood is low.
The fact that we now have a feminist movie without having to resort to incessant banter about libido, orgasms, G-spots, being single, and boyfriends is nice, even if it does make us sound prude. Additionally, Crew is not a preachy story about the empowerment of women. It centers on three Kohinoor Airlines employees: senior flight attendant Jasmine Rana, junior flight attendant Divya Bajwa, and in-flight supervisor Geeta Sethi. The aviation sector serves as the backdrop for the story.
Geeta remains with her devoted and encouraging husband Arun, who operates a cloud kitchen, following his brother’s separation from his family. Jasmine hopes to become a wealthy CEO of her own business one day and currently resides with her maternal grandfather. She is sarcastic, street savvy, and unafraid to violate morals in order to advance in her life. Divya excelled academically and has a lifelong ambition to become a pilot. However, by happenstance, she works as an air hostess. To spare her parents from suffering a broken heart, she has, however, falsely claimed to be a pilot. Professionally speaking, the airline firm they work for is going through a difficult period of bankruptcy, and for the past six months, the trio and their peers have not received their salaries. Because Geeta, Jasmine, and Divya are always searching for a better life, they are enticed to steal the gold slabs from their boss when he unexpectedly passes away on the airbus.
They quickly find out that he and HR chief Mittal would smuggle gold into Dubai in order to make money. After much deliberation, they choose to begin working for Mittal in the hopes of escaping their mediocre existence in terms of money. However, as fate would have it, sub-inspector Mala discovers that something is off, and chaos ensues.
It has a fresh plot at first. There was so much that could have been done to make this movie a pioneer. However, the screenplay has far too many holes in it. Even at two hours and four minutes, the crew still looks quite fatigued. You get the impression that you’re trapped on a monorail with nowhere to escape as the story hardly moves at all. What appears so new and enticing at first quickly goes flat like a wet firecracker. It wrenches your heart, too, when top actors like Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan collaborate on a film that ends up being almost completely worn out.
It is said that Crew is a comedic heist. It contains a lot of exciting heist scenes, but very little humor in them. Most jokes are not funny. By the time you get to the second half, you’re already lost in monotony and hoping for a miracle to occur to turn the plot around. We regret to inform you that nothing of the such occurs. Here, even actors with excellent comic timing like Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma, who have made a name for themselves, are squandered. Even with Tabu’s Geeta’s humorous one-liners and use of regional lingo, you can’t help but giggle every now and again. Sadly, the music is likewise unmemorable.
Nevertheless, Crew is a fascinating movie to watch. Tabu, Kareena, and Kriti are quite stunning, and the costume department deserves praise for that! We should all give thanks to the women who worked on the movie’s production: co-writer Nidhi Mehra, co-producers Rhea Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor. Because although though Crew celebrates sisterhood and presents women as bold, unapologetic individuals, womanhood is never exploited as a means to make heavy pronouncements about contemporary feminism. The main characters are not unlikable despite their flaws and relatability.
Additionally, they enjoy the backing of males who, despite their limited screen time, are safe and don’t feel threatened by their women’s success. However, even tiny sparks are often diluted by the shoddy screenplay. Rajesh A. Krishnan, the director of Crew, won widespread praise from critics for his dark comedy Lootcase, which starred Kunal Kemmu. Here, the writing overrides his directing inclinations, therefore he is unable to showcase his amazing style.Kareena is the one who takes the story to a new level. Her portrayal of Jasmine is exquisite, and the role fits her perfectly. Nobody could have looked as good as Jasmine. She is bold, determined, fearless, and unafraid to compromise her morals in order to further her own interests. She gives the narrative some much-needed luster, and it is a delight to watch her perform. She wins your heart by making her long-awaited comeback to a dazzling position. She is the embodiment of flair and substance, and the truth is that without her fierce charisma and occasional appearances in Sona Kitna Sona Hai, Crew would never have taken off.
Tabu steps into the spotlight with Geeta, and although she gives it her best, the writing doesn’t do her credit. Her bantering exchanges with Jasmine are absolute treasure. Their friendship seems natural, and it makes me think how entertaining it would be to watch the two fierce ladies pull off stunts in a well-written, action-packed movie! Tabu has a pleasing rapport with Kapil, who plays her husband, and she gives a certain calm and natural emotionality to the role.
Although Kriti’s character has a cinematic past, it appears that the writers haven’t dug much deeper than that into Divya. Trupti Khamkar and Rajesh Sharma are outstanding. On the other side, Kohinoor Airlines’ owner, Vijay Walia, squandered Saswata Chatterjee as his prototype.It’s possible that the crew did not arrive at its intended destination. Certainly not the best work that Kriti, Tabu, or Kareena have done. Still, it’s a fantastic attempt at being generic. Give it a try because it highlights the strong bonds between women who, in spite of their ups and downs, ferociously love, defend, and support one another—the kinds of topics we don’t see in movies very frequently. Furthermore, would you really want to pass up the opportunity to see Kareena at her finest and embrace the Bebo that made us all fall in love in the 2000s? Poor luck. To sum up, though, let’s hope that the three main actors in the movie get to work on a picture that truly represents them.
