It is only the fifth film this year to have reached the prestigious ₹100 crore club. It is also one of the very few films frontlining women to have reached this milestone. In fact, you can count these films on one hand.
Crew, starring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan and Kriti Sanon, is 10 days old and still counting its collections. The Rhea Kapoor-Anil Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor-Shobha Kapoor production has scored a double whammy, their previous all-girl romp Veere Di Wedding (2018) made ₹138 crore at the worldwide box office. Sonam Kapoor’s Neerja (2016) made ₹131 crore, while Alia Bhatt’s Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022) made 1209 crore. Kangana Ranaut’s iconic 2013 film, Queen, also a blockbuster, fell short at just ₹95 crore.
It is a sorry state of affairs that such few female-led films have brought in the numbers. It is also discouraging to know that fewer films with women protagonists will thus be made.
