Critic consensus
Critical reception for Crew is moderately positive, with most reviewers appreciating it as a light, entertaining masala comedy that delivers on laughs and does not overstay its welcome. The central trio of Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon is consistently highlighted as the film's strongest asset, with several critics noting their comic timing and chemistry as the primary reason to watch. The most common criticism is a weak, sloppy screenplay that leans too heavily on the performers to compensate for thin material, with some reviewers feeling the film fails to live up to its promising premise.

Film review
Tabu, so comfortable in her older woman avatar as the senior-most of the crew, and Khan, treading the thin line between greed and need with ease, are a riot; Sanon, in their company, manages to hold her own. Watching these three air hostesses with the mostest, in an easy breezy comedy, with plenty of self-aware chuckles strewn about, is the most fun I've had at the movies recently.
Film review
CREW is a fun entertainer and rests on fine performances.
Film review ·
In times when political dramas trying to make a statement abound, 'Crew' is a welcome change. It’s light, easy-breezy and stays true to being a masala entertainer. This is a film where you do not need to put your brain, and can just enjoy a hearty laugh. Just like ‘Madgaon Express’, that was released last week, this one gets its comic timing right and is a good watch.
Film review ·
What starts out as extremely promising and fresh soon fizzles out like a damp firecracker. And when you have ace actors like Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan joining forces for what turns out to be a borderline threadbare film, it truly breaks your heart. But it is the sloppy screenplay that tends to dilute these little sparks.
Film review ·
If you are looking for some light-hearted madcap comedy, Crew is worth diving into -- with all its frivolity, humour and glam.
Film review ·
Kareena Kapoor, Tabu and Kriti Sanon's heist comedy keeps things funny throughout, makes you wish it lasted longer.
Film review ·
The movie is funny, sexy and honest without being overly mushy or judgemental. Crew is turbo-charged by a terrific trio of performers, who exude sheer relief at being handed roles that play to their respective strengths.
Film review ·
The writers depend a little too much on the brilliance of Tabu, Kareena and Kriti to create magic out of glib talk. The desperation to evoke humour is so obvious that you can see the underlined portions in the script on the screen where Krishnan wants laughter or a grin.
