Crew (2024)

Is excellent and showing right now so if you have a chance to see it say yes. The genre is comedy-heist and it's about three women with complex lives who are friends working together as cabin crew for Kohinoor Airlines. They get involved in something and struggle together to extricate themselves. The writing is top notch and nothing is wasted, like, this is gorgeously integrated. I am angry not all movies are this good. I am trying not to spoil but it goes from intrigue to even more intrigue and it was SO GOOD.

Kareena Kapoor is delightfully cynical and just a little lightfingered, Kriti Sanon who I last saw in Diwale (2015) has seriously lifted her acting chops (to be fair Diwale did not give her the same opportunities) and between her outfits and her ability to shoulder-lock arse slapping travelers she is thoroughly enjoyable. Tabu was also rock solid and last seen by me in Haider (which was an exquisite, exquisite gem). 9:52 AM Also passes the bechdel test so thoroughly it's past the finish line and in a bar with a giant bottle of champagne and two lobsters.

I'm just sad Rajesh A Krishnan (director) and Nidhi Mehra & Mehul Suri (writing team) don't have any other collaborations but I'm now eyeing off Lootcase (2020) by Rajesh A Krishnan and Veere Di Wedding (2018) by Nidhi Mehra & Mehul Suri.
