In just three weeks since its premiere, the illustrious cinematic spectacle 'Crew', featuring

,

Kareena Kapoor Khan

, and

Kriti Sanon

, has ascended to a remarkable zenith at the box office. Surpassing the illustrious Rs 70 crore milestone in earnings, the film has gallantly maintained its stance amidst a formidable array of contenders, including 'Shaitaan', 'Madgaon Express', 'Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire', '

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan

' and '

Maidaan

'.

Manifesting its prowess, the film amassed a princely sum of Rs 43.75 crore in its inaugural week, further augmenting its coffers with an additional Rs 21.45 crore in the ensuing week, culminating in a splendid third weekend yielding Rs 4.2 crore.

However, as the week unfolded, Monday witnessed a precipitous decline, with a meager collection of just Rs 55 lakhs, marking a precipitous 67% plummet from its Sunday zenith of Rs 1.70 crore. Yet, heralding a resurgence, Tuesday marked a revitalization, amassing Rs 60 lakhs, while Wednesday witnessed a commendable surge to Rs 84 lakhs, representing a 40% escalation from the preceding day. This remarkable spike was catalyzed by the festive fervor of

Ram Navami

, celebrated fervently across vast swathes of the nation. Presently, the cumulative collection of the film stands at a princely Rs 71.4 crore, poised to gracefully eclipse the Rs 75 crore milestone as it concludes its theatrical odyssey.

Noteworthy is the resplendent reception accorded to the film even across the Atlantic, where it has garnered formidable acclaim, surmounting the esteemed US$3 million benchmark (equivalent to Rs 25 crore), thereby ensconcing itself amongst the pantheon of most triumphant Indian films led by women.

Indeed, "Crew" maintains its exalted stature as the 8th highest-grossing female-led opus in the annals of Indian cinema, outshining cinematic luminaries such as Alia Bhatt's "Dear Zindagi," Taapsee Pannu's "Pink," and Kangana Ranaut's magnum opus "Queen."
