Still from Crew
Rajesh A Krishnan's film 'Crew' hit the theatres today. The film brought together leading ladies Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon together for the first time. In this underdog story, three flight attendants, who have not been paid for months as the airline is on the verge of bankruptcy, devise their own means to make money.
Director Rajesh A Krishnan tells Mid-day, "Three meek air-hostesses go from hum kya hi kar lenge to maloom hai, hum kya kar sakte hai?" But the director promptly points out that it's more than a crime film. At a time when there have been multiple instances of airline staff being treated disrespectfully by entitled passengers, he hopes Crew will make viewers rethink their behaviour before they get on their next flight. "They say namaste, wear a smile, and have to be nice to you. That doesn't mean they should be snapped at and asked, âWhere is my alcohol?' I have been surrounded by so many sassy women, and they've raised me well. I don't take basic human dignity for granted. Here is a story of three mature people fighting [the odds] with their brains. These three women are done taking nonsense."
The release day that coincided with Good Friday saw a major footfall in the theatres as people flocked in to watch the magic created by the trio.
Here's what netizens have to say about the film:
