It was a holiday release and received positive reviews from critics and audiences. The collections are expected to grow in the weekend due to word-of-mouth and there are also no major Bollywood competitors at the box office.

'Crew' is fresh in concept and it's rare we have seen a heist comedy in Bollywood and that too led by women. Kareena Kapoor, Tabu and Kriti play flight attendants of Kohinoor Airlines. The trio is fed up of their jobs due to low pay, non-payment of dues and pressure of their work. When they come to know, their company has gone bankrupt, they decide to smuggle gold biscuits. Directed by Rajesh A Krishnan of 'Lootcase' fame, the film also stars Diljit Dosanjh and Kapil Sharma in cameo roles.
Outlook India gave 'Crew' 3 stars and wrote, ''Crew has everything we want in a comedy-frivolous, entertaining and glamour''
