The Crew

Tabu, Kareena Kapoor and Kriti Sanon's film gave new hope to Bollywood. It is not that films can run only on the strength of male actors. If the content is good, the Hindi audience will watch any film and make money. Made on a budget of about 75 crores, 'Crew' earned about 112 crores at the box office. A film earning more than 100 crores without any big star will once again inspire the makers to serve good content.
