Crew Movie Review:&nbsp;Producers Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor have created an interesting genre of chick flicks in an industry dominated by machismo and male bonding. And thank god for that! Because we all know how deprived we are of seeing female bonding on screen. In director, Rajesh Krishnan's&nbsp;Crew,&nbsp;backed by Kapoor and Kapoor, friendships made at the workplace are celebrated even as a heist comedy takes place in the forefront. Three women, from diverse backgrounds, end up working together for an airline company that is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy. Circumstances lead them to do unlawful things, but the three- Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon- ensure they have their fair share of fun while committing a crime. The result is a funny, situational comedy which is an easy, breezy ride with great performances.
