Sharmila Tagore talked about daughter-in-law Kareena Kapoor’s latest release Crew, which also starred Tabu and Kriti Sanon.

Kareena Kapoor-starrer Crew scripted box office success earlier this year. Now Kareena’s mother-in-law Sharmila Tagore has shared her opinions on the film during a recent conversation on the YouTube channel Dil Se Kapil Sibal, and said that the film was ‘absurd’ in its storyline but went on to praise the camaraderie between the three female leads, including Kareena, Tabu and Kriti Sanon.

What Sharmila said about Crew

During the conversation on the progress of recent films and how they represent women on screen, Sharmila touched upon Crew as an example, and said, “It is absurd, of course, beyond belief but there are three women pulling off this adventure. One is landing a plane, one is breaking a safe… doing all kinds of things together and the camaraderie between the three is excellent because they say a woman is a woman’s worst enemy, not so here.”

Kareena also added that Crew was not only entertaining but a commercial success. She added that the success of the film will definitely create the space for better films and roles for female actors. “Crew has done very well. Three women are doing all kinds of fantastic things and it has done extremely well at the box office. That will encourage a lot of filmmakers to do women-centric films,” she added.
