The film Crew, featuring Kriti Sanon, Tabu, and Kareena Kapoor, had a strong start at the box office, raking in Rs 30 crore in its opening weekend. Despite experiencing a 60% decline on weekdays, it maintained steady viewership throughout its first week in theatres. As per a Sacnilk report, Crew minted Rs 3 crore on day 7, with an overall 11.40 percent occupancy in Hindi on Thursday, bringing its total collection to Rs 43.75 crore. Crew revolves around three women in the airline industry facing unexpected situations and entangled in a web of lies.
Crew has reportedly been released across 2000 theatres. It premiered in over 75 countries, spanning more than 1100 locations. The estimated budget for the film, covering production and advertising expenses, reportedly stands around Rs 60 crore.
Crew opened to largely mixed reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave the film 2 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Crew would have been much more fun if only it knew how to buoy things up with strokes of genuine inspiration. Yes, that is what is sorely missing in a film that goes for gold but fails to find a source of sustained sparkle."
Produced under the banners of Balaji Telefilms and Anil Kapoor Film & Communications Network, Crew not only features the three leading ladies but also includes Diljit Dosanjh, Kapil Sharma, Saswata Chatterjee, Rajesh Sharma, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in its ensemble cast.
