Crew, which is from the same team as Veere Di Wedding, takes the concept of three powerful women having fun and keeps the audience interested with clever editing and a catchy background score. It’s in the category of feel-good movies where the characters, even when they’re in trouble, have jaw-dropping wealth. Director Rajesh Krishnan uses the year’s best casting coup to highlight upper middle-class hijinks and feed the aspirations of the Instagram generation with controlled emotions. The light-hearted performance, which switches between daring and risque, is eager to illustrate that modern ladies are just as capable of drinking and complaining as wealthy lads. Following a string of rather masculine aerial exploits, this time it’s the girls who are decked up to steal the show.
Meet The Crew
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 need and greed. The sudden derailment of a well-known airplane has given rise to a wicked cause and effect in the minds of the writers. An accidental pot of gold slips into the hands of the three crew members, who are driven by greed and need to plan a heist.
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 banter 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 advantages. Although Tabu and Kareena’s mocking comments on their age mesh well, their brilliance often calls for a more complex script.
Crew: The Apparent Forced Humor
From the beginning, the three have forged a strong bond and given the characters a sardonic sense of humor, but their impressive performance and glitz cannot conceal the screenplay’s fundamental silliness. We are aware that an image’s quality does not grow with resolution. The writing eventually becomes as trite 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 situational humor. The desperate attempt to make people laugh is so evident that you can see the script’s underlined passages on the screen when Krishnan is trying to make them laugh or smile.
So when Tabu describes a routine event, like the exercise of providing security instructions to her husband, played by Kapil Sharma, we keep applauding her comedic timing and spellbinding skill. While Kriti’s innate flare for drama is impressive, Kareena Kapoor is the real star of this flight, both literally and figuratively. The three could cause the characters to have anxious moments, even in a loud environment.
Love Interests And The Soundtrack
In roles envisioned 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,” but it fits the movie well and is a true testament to Laxmikant Pyarelal’s mastery of an addictive riff that endured 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 his wares start to lose their glitz.
