Rajesh Krishnan’s ‘Crew’ is an undemanding watch, lit up by the pleasure of watching stars having fun

The film features Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon. It isn’t the perfect caper, but it gets the job done.
Sometimes, it’s just nice to see a bunch of high-wattage stars having fun. If you are in the mood, and if the bar isn’t set too high, Crew – directed by Rajesh Krishnan – could be that movie. It features Tabu, who clearly relishes the few times she isn’t asked to carry the weight of the world on her actorly shoulders. (Remember her delightful turn as the hippie-mom in Jawaani Jaaneman?) Kriti Sanon is “Divya Rana from Haryana”, and she lets loose a wild, naughty side that suggests comedy could be her thing. And Kareena Kapoor Khan, as Jasmine, is just wonderful. It’s hilarious to see a star of her wattage play someone who can’t pay the rent and lives a “hand-to-mouth haalat”. And that, too, is part of the fun. Crew isn’t interested in being… real. And the times the writing (Nidhi Mehra, Mehul Suri) falters is when it tries to bring on doses of reality.
