Movie “Crew” Review: Clay

Movie review by crew member: At one point I wanted to walk out the exit because this movie took so many ridiculous leaps of imagination that there was no room for them.

Still images from the crew

Starring: Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kriti Sanon
Rating: 2/5

Indeed, from the half-full hall at my local theater’s first performance at 9 a.m. on opening night, I felt that the filmmakers had successfully reached their target audience.
In general, this is a rather unusual sight. The male to female audience is skewed towards women. I think the poster and trailer for this movie probably made her think of three heroines.

In other words, taboo kareena kapoor khanKriti Sanon – in any case one of the top female stars of their respective generation or age group.

Throughout the photo, they are almost in flight attendant uniforms. So most of them are at work. It’s just that their side job is to be some kind of con artist. It’s like a mule smuggling contraband on an airplane.

This is also a chick flick. I thought I was participating in the first Thelma & Louise vibe check. Now, even if it doesn’t go that far (please don’t), the leading ladies gel pretty well.

if you have some trouble, Kriti Sanon She looks confident and carefree, giving off an easy-going and gentle impression. This compliment is essential to the veterans who fell between her. After all, taboos are what taboos do. Isn’t it the same for Karina?

As a film, Crews is a spiritual film that Rhea Kapoor (sometimes alongside Ekta Kapoor) has collaborated with in the past, starting with the likes of Ayesha (2010), Koobsurat (2014) and Veere Di Wedding (2018). Plunge directly into the space. ), Thank you for coming (2023), if possible.

This simply means mid-budget and low-budget entertainers, but instead ones that subvert the lol mainstream with a script that centers entirely around a female protagonist (this one written by Nidhi Mehta and Mehul Suri). is.

Among them, even the leading man of Punjab, Kapil Sharma, Diljit Dosanjhshow up for a walk-on part here, and it’s just as well.

I love how this title in Devanagari script (on screen) has just one letter ‘ka’ and a lot of ‘maatra’, so how does it compare to the girls’ night out mentioned above?

It may not mean much, but it certainly flies high. You can remain seated comfortably without using a belt.

The film is directed by Rajesh A. Krishnan, who also shot the ensemble-cast caper Lootcase (2020) for Disney+ Hotstar, during the pandemic. Couldn’t sit and watch beyond. First of all, what attracts you to this?

I think it’s an interesting world to be a desi flight attendant, traveling around the world while being paid a daily wage in cash.

They work 24 hours a day for an airline named Kohinoor, and the company’s owner himself appears in a video for in-flight entertainment. Inform passengers about his carefully selected services.

If what I have heard is correct, this gentleman’s name is Vijay Walia. His airline company went bankrupt. The staff are dressed in kingfisher red. Their salaries have stopped. The boss is still busy with a lavish party. Vijay Mallya’s work is the inspiration for the gritty murder mystery ‘Neeyat’ (2023) starring Vidya Balan.

Perhaps he is further parodied in Asmani Kahani (Story of the Sky) about Sona (gold), when an employee rides his plane, chatting incessantly about Sona (sleep) with the men, “” Choli ke peeche’ song ‘ku ku ku’ plays in the background and also plays in the foreground along with another Ila Arun number ‘Dilli sheher mein maro ghagro’.

Even as the movie occasionally switches to full ad spots and we avidly check out brands ranging from Ajio, Goibibo, Waumomoz to Bhikaji Bhujias, the only products worth supporting are those featuring taboo characters. There’s just an anxiety drug called Calm Pose that does it. .

There’s nothing to worry about either. Yeah, it’s not that interesting. But this is her two-hour picture of beautiful women in tight timing and without breaking a sweat, so you’re probably a little on board. What’s in the crib?

An hour after a decent takeoff, they disembark for a stopover, or interval, and find that the crew literally has nowhere to go. Okay, no more!

At one point I wanted to walk out the exit because this movie takes so many ridiculous leaps of imagination that I don’t have the wherewithal to endure them. In any case, I hope this works for you. Not my scene, crash now.
