Three women, struggling to keep their heads above stormy waters, shucking and jiving and diving, while keeping it all fleet-footed and having fun, and making sure we do, as well. Heck Yes!

We finally have CREW, a heist comedy headlined by Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon. It’s refreshing and genre-defining for sure and is worthy of joining this genre.

Storyline
Co-workers Geeta Sethi (Tabu), Jasmine Kohli (Kareena Kapoor Khan) and Divya Rana (Kriti Sanon) serve looks and then some hospitality to the passengers of Kohinoor airlines. A thinly-veiled stand-in for the now-defunct real-life Kingfisher Airlines, whose chairman (Saswata Chatterjee), is an even thinner-veiled stand-in for the ‘bhagoda’ billionaire Vijay Mallya.
Nothing unites employees more than their collective misery and that forges an unlikely bond between the three air hostesses. When they discover that their debt-ridden airline is on the verge of bankruptcy, the women are compelled to seek desperate measures for survival.
The Pros
The fast-paced comic thriller entertains at all times even when the climax gets too convenient, ditzy or far-fetched. Humour stems from the characters’ unabashed, unapologetic approach to life without thinking it through. Their plans are as effective as Vasco Da Gama ki gun (of Andaz Apna Apna) and yet they exude the style and attitude of a ramp model.
CREW’s leading actresses are in their 30’s, 40’s and 50’s respectively and casting hasn’t looked this fun for an Indian all-female heist film in a long time. Beyond the organic age inclusivity, the story doesn’t digress from the ladies even with men as entertaining as Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma around.
The Cons
While it has ample interesting heist scenes, its humour quotient is almost zilch. Most jokes don’t land. By the time you reach the second half, you’re already engulfed with monotony wanting some miracle to happen and change the course of the story.
Furthermore, it runs low on fuel precisely when it is time to get off the ground. Stuck on a narrative tarmac strewn with predictable inanities, with all the beauty that we see on the screen is only skin-deep.
