The electricity of the silver screen was palpable as ‘Crew,’ the highly anticipated film featuring a trifecta of Bollywood stars—Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon—opened to audiences nationwide on March 29th. Prior to its release, ‘Crew’ generated substantial buzz across social media platforms, and since its debut, the film has seen a surge of positive feedback flowing from cinema halls. Critics and fans alike are heaping praise upon this cinematic offering, demonstrating the considerable draw of its leading ladies.
As the film industry keenly observes the financial tallies, ‘Crew’ has not disappointed, making a considerable splash with its box office performance. The movie’s financial success was immediately evident, with the opening day’s global earnings surpassing the 20 crore mark. In a recent showing of continued success, the film’s third day, a Sunday, saw it bring in roughly Rs 10.25 crore at the national box office, as per early trends reported by Sacnilk. Although these figures are preliminary and subject to slight adjustments, they clearly reflect the film’s robust audience appeal.
The production team behind ‘Crew’ hasn’t shied away from sharing their triumph on social media platforms, revealing that the film sustained its momentum on the second day with a worldwide collection totaling Rs 20.06 crore. These figures complement an already impressive opening day haul of Rs 20.7 crore, indicating a box office trajectory that producers dream of.
‘Crew’ enjoyed the advantage of timing its release to coincide with the holiday season. Its launch on Good Friday meant that a long weekend lay ahead, providing ample opportunity for movie-goers to flock to theaters. As the film moves past its initial weekend, industry observers are now keenly awaiting to see how it fares in the subsequent days, particularly the ‘Monday test,’ which is often a decider for a film’s longer-term performance.
Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon are not the only stars lighting up the screen in ‘Crew.’ Notably, actors Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma have also been cast in pivotal roles, adding layers of talent to the film’s ensemble. At the helm of this project is director Rajesh A Krishnan, who guided the vision of the film to fruition. Moreover, ‘Crew’ boasts a coalition of producers with formidable credentials in Bollywood: Ekta Kapoor, Rhea Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, and Digvijay Singh are all names associated with the film’s production, offering a mix of industry might and creative vision that seems to have translated into box office gold.
The excitement surrounding ‘Crew’ extends to the Instagram platform, where posts by Ekta Kapoor have heightened buzz and anticipation for the film. Her updates serve not only to inform eager fans but to maintain the momentum of ‘Crew’s public presence, reflecting modern marketing strategies employed in the film industry today.
Now, as the initial dust settles and ‘Crew’ sails through its release week, the industry is watching with bated breath. Will the star-studded cast and acclaimed production team behind this newest Bollywood sensation manage to sustain their early success? Or will the notorious unpredictability of cinema audiences reveal new challenges ahead? Only time will tell, but for now, ‘Crew’ is riding high on a wave of appreciation and box office success, securing its position as a strong contender in the landscape of Indian cinema.
