Crew: A Comedy of Errors in the Skies
A humorous take on the Bollywood film "Crew" featuring Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly in Bollywood's "Crew"
Picture this: a trio of flight attendants embroiled in a whirlwind of chaos and comedy. That's the gist of Bollywood's latest offering, "Crew." Starring the ever-charming Kareena Kapoor, the versatile Tabu, and the effervescent Kriti Sanon, this film takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the skies. But does it soar high or crash and burn? Let's break it down.
The Highs of "Crew"
Let's start with the positives - Kareena Kapoor steals the show with her carefree charisma, reminding us of her golden days in Bollywood. Tabu, despite a sketchy character arc, manages to shine through the clutter. The film's premise, a heist caper sans any political agenda, is a breath of fresh air in an industry rife with propaganda.
Geeta, Jasmine, and Divya - the three leading ladies - are not your typical damsels in distress. They take matters into their own hands, ready to challenge the status quo. While the screenplay tries its best to tickle your funny bone, it falls short of delivering consistent laughs.

The Lows of "Crew"
Unfortunately, where "Crew" falters is in its execution. The lackluster screenplay fails to sustain the film's momentum, leaving viewers yearning for more. The second half, in particular, loses steam quickly, meandering through predictable plot twists.
While the film's visual appeal and star-studded cast add glamour, they can only do so much to mask the narrative shortcomings. With potential left untapped, "Crew" feels like a missed opportunity to truly take flight.
The Verdict: Fasten Your Seatbelts, But Don't Expect Smooth Sailing
In the end, "Crew" is a bumpy ride that never quite reaches cruising altitude. Despite the star power and glitzy visuals, the film fails to deliver a truly memorable cinematic experience. However, for fans of the leading ladies and lighthearted comedies, it may still be worth a watch - just don't expect it to be a smooth journey from takeoff to landing.
So, buckle up, grab your popcorn, and prepare for a turbulent yet entertaining escapade with "Crew."
