Directed by Rajesh Krishnan, known for his hit “Lootcase,” this lighthearted heist comedy introduces us to Geeta (Tabu), Jasmine (Kareena Kapoor Khan), and Divya (Kriti Sanon), crew members of Kohinoor Airlines facing bankruptcy.
The narrative cleverly unfolds with a flashback, revealing the events leading to the trio’s trouble with customs officials over missing gold bars. Nidhi Mehra and Mehul Suri’s script provides an easy-breezy story, balancing humour with themes of aspiration and audacity.
The first half is a joyous ride, as we witness the trials of our leading ladies, empathizing with their struggles against Kohinoor Chairman Vijay Walia’s indifference. The tone shifts slightly in the second half but maintains its humorous charm.
