As moviegoers eagerly anticipated the release of director Rajesh A Krishnan’s latest cinematic offering, ‘Crew’, they were not disappointed when the house lights dimmed and the opening scene unfolded. This unique heist film brings together, for the first time ever, a stellar cast headlined by the indomitable Tabu, the versatile Kareena Kapoor, and the vivacious Kriti Sanon. Audiences were treated to an intricate tapestry of humor, gripping storytelling, and engaging performances that have left social media abuzz with rave reviews.
In ‘Crew,’ three flight attendants, portrayed by Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon, find themselves at the mercy of their airline’s financial turbulence. As the company careens towards bankruptcy with months of unpaid wages, the trio decides to take matters into their own hands. They devise an audacious plan to secure their futures, showcasing the resourcefulness and determination of three women who refuse to be grounded by adversity.
Rajesh A Krishnan, the maestro behind the camera, shares insights with Mid-day, illuminating the journey of the characters: “Three meek air-hostesses go from hum kya hi kar lenge to maloom hai, hum kya kar sakte hai?” This transformation is pivotal, positioning ‘Crew’ as more than your average crime caper. It’s a timely film, resonating with the tribulations that airline employees encounter — the disrespect, the demands, the degradation. Through ‘Crew’, Krishnan aspires to challenge viewers to reflect on their own conduct towards those who serve them in the skies.
The film’s premiere, aptly coinciding with Good Friday, witnessed massive turnout as audience members swarmed theaters to partake in the enchanting spectacle crafted by the trio of actresses. The reception was overwhelming positive and was evident across various social media platforms where fans expressed their elation and admiration for the film.

‘Crew’ is more than just a film; it’s a statement—a testament to the strength and ingenuity of women. In a world that often expects them to be passive and accommodating, Tabu, Kareena, and Kriti’s characters break the mold, take control of their destiny, and, ultimately, soar. It is a story that leaves audiences emboldened and critics applauding, further cementing its place in the annals of Indian cinema as a work that is not just seen but felt, and most importantly, remembered.
