Crew 2024 Review: Let us have a look at the review of the film “Crew” released on March 29, 2024. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, “Crew” is a comedy-drama with a dash of heist suspense and thriller. Apart from the traditional theme, three actresses have been shown in the main star cast, which is a unique concept in itself. However, even before this, many women-centric films have come in Bollywood. But “Crew” has a place of its own apart from them all. Unexpectedly, the story moves towards a planned robbery, which you might not expect until the last stretch of the film.
Sisterhood
What sets “The Crew” apart is the film’s authentic portrayal of sisterhood. The camaraderie between Geeta, Jasmine, and Divya feels genuine and unexpected. Things like jokes, small squabbles, and patch-ups from time to time were portrayed accurately, reflecting the nature of women. Their friendship and support for each other adds life to the film.
Hot and glamorous actresses Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon have been brought together for the lead roles in the film, whose pairing has never been seen before.
Male counterpart
On the other hand, many male characters have also been given a place in the film, to play which a very good star cast has been signed. These male characters play an important role in leading the female trio forward. These male characters are not mere props; They contribute to the overall narrative.

The storyline of ‘Crew’
The main characters of the film are Geeta Sethi, Jasmine Kohli, and Divya Rana, who work as flight attendants in Kohinoor, an airline company that is on the verge of bankruptcy. Due to this situation, the airline has not paid its employees for several months, making the condition of every employee worse day by day.
Geeta lives with her husband Arun, who runs a home-based food business. She also helps her unemployed younger brother and his wife financially. On the other hand, Jasmine, who was raised by her maternal grandfather after her parents’ divorce, does not believe in relationships. She likes to live a glamorous but fake lifestyle on social media. Meanwhile, Divya dreams of becoming a pilot but is forced to work as a flight attendant despite her training. She hides her job from her family by pretending to be a pilot.
Facing injustice from the company and a dire financial situation, the three main characters see an opportunity to smuggle gold, which could solve their problems. Reluctantly, they move in this direction, leading to a mix of friendship, romance, trust, betrayal, comedy and heist.
The story takes twists and turns as the characters face various challenges. The film offers a blend of humor, mystery, and camaraderie, providing the audience with tension and laughter simultaneously.

So fasten your seat belts and enjoy the fun. Except for a small 18+ scene of a few seconds that is blurred, the entire film is worth watching with the family. Although the suspense of the film is known only after watching it for the first time, it is one of those films which you can watch many times.
