Crew, which hit theaters on Friday, got a big shout out from Arjun Kapoor. In an Instagram story, Arjun Kapoor started the note with these words: “A flight worth taking… So proud of Rhea Kapoor for knocking it out of the park! I love that Ektaa Kapoor and Rhea have formed a partnership that targets a mainstream audience unapologetically…” About the film’s director Rajesh A Krishnan, Arjun added, “Rajesh as a director has to handle a heist comedy with subtle yet affirming assurance. I’m a great performance and humor, sir.’
Arjun Kapoor extensively praised the lead actors Tabu, Kareena Kapoor and Kriti Sanon and wrote, “Tabu is simply a genius actor who always knows exactly what to do, even when she doesn’t say anything, she says it all… Kareena Kapoor aap toh front foot aake khel kar gaye ho on this one… Satisfied and you both killed it! Kriti Sanon for ‘literally’ standing tall and holding his own while also looking fantastic… kudos to you.”
The actor also gave a shout out to Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma, who have special appearances in the film. Arjun wrote. “Diljit Dosanjh aap aaye screen pe toh bahar aayi. Presence and charm personified… Kapil Sharma is commendable for adding your presence to a different and unique role like this.” Arjun also cheered for uncle Anil Kapoor, who has co-produced the film, and wrote, ‘Anil Kapoor, what a playa , the producer and proud father… The journey continues with more films to make and stories to tell now. ..”

Crew, directed by Rajesh A Krishnan, features Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon in the lead roles, along with Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma (in a guest appearance). The film was released in theaters on March 29 and is already ruling the box office.
In his review for WhatsNew2Day, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote the following about the performances: ‘First the positives. Yes, there are a few, not the least of which is Kareena Kapoor, who turns back the clock a bit and lets her hair down without a care in the world. She emerges as an asset. Tabu also rises above the noise, despite being saddled with a rather sketchily defined character who has to carry much of the weight of the film on her shoulders.’
