The new comedy riot has arrived on the scene. Directed by Rajesh Krishnan, Crew takes flight as an incredibly entertaining watch with its fresh concept and the compelling trio of Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon.

With sharp writing and the perfect number of twists and turns to engage the audience, the comedy heist hits the mark. Perhaps the highlight of the film is the camaraderie shared between the trio, each delivering a solid performance without overpowering the other. Produced by Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, Crew is a fine comedy led by a female cast. The crew of Kohinoor Airlines is neither heroes nor heroines.

The incredible Tabu’s comedic timing shines through beautifully. Over the course of her career, she has excelled in both dramatic and comedic roles. Andhadhun (2018) is one such example of Tabu maintaining her villainous aura while also dabbling in comedy. The brilliant actress once again proves that she thrives in comedy as much as drama. Every scene featuring the actress as Geeta Sethi is simply a delight to watch, with her subtle body language and mannerisms elevating the comedy further.

Kareena Kapoor Khan ups the glamour quotient with her boldness and oomph. It’s simply impossible to take your eyes off of her. Essaying the role of the dreamer, Kareena successfully balances the maturity and slight eccentricity of her character without going overboard.

Despite sharing the screen with two of the finest actors in the industry, Kriti Sanon holds her own. Portraying the character of the young and confused Divya Rana, Kriti makes space for herself and delivers a fine performance.

The film relies heavily on the chemistry of its female star cast, which fortunately works in its favour because the trio of ladies blend superbly together. Both Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma excel in their respective roles, complimenting the rest of the cast quite well.

While the first half may seem a bit slow, the film picks up in the second half. Although there was room for more humour, the film does a fine job of entertaining the audience regardless. Instead of glamourizing the aviation industry, the film makes sure to highlight the reality of the airline and aviation fields. The financial struggles experienced by cabin crews are depicted well without making the scenes too preachy or corny. There is no social message or sad conversation. But there are plenty of fun and good times.

If there was one way to describe the film, it would be: Paisa Vasool! And it seems like the audience thinks so too.
