The highly-anticipated heist comedy “Crew,” starring the phenomenal trio of Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kriti Sanon, and Tabu, has smashed records on its opening day, becoming the highest-grossing female-led film on its release.
With a global haul of a whopping ₹20.07 crore (approximately $2.4 million), “Crew” has defied expectations and proven that female-driven narratives can pull in the crowds. The film’s strong opening is even more impressive, considering it faced competition from the Hollywood blockbuster “Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire King” and the Malayalam hit “Aadujeevitham.”
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the latest figures of day one.
While the exact breakdown of domestic and international earnings isn’t fully consolidated yet, reports suggest the film brought in ₹10.28 crore (approximately $1.2 million) in India alone. This positions “Crew” as the third-biggest Bollywood opener of 2024, showcasing its immense popularity among Indian audiences.
The positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth undoubtedly contribute to the film’s success. Early buzz suggests a hilarious and action-packed ride fueled by the incredible chemistry between the leading ladies.
