So far, the scam has grossed ₹18.85 crore, the report said. Crew revolves around the story of three friends who work as cabin crew for Kohinoor Airlines.

In an WhatsNew2Day review, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Crew 2 out of 5 stars and said, “Crew is director Rajesh A. Krishnan’s first theatrical release. He made his debut on a streaming platform in 2020 with the vibrant Lootcase. The two films, which differ in scope and ambition, are connected by their absurdist undertone and empathy with the victims of an economic system in which the rich get richer and the poor survive on unrealized ambitions.”
