The Kareena Kapoor, Tabu, and Kriti Sanon starrer Crew is recording a good response in advance booking at the box office in India. As of Thursday at 3.30 PM, the comic caper has sold 34,000 tickets across the big three national chains – PVR, Inox and Cinepolis and is headed for a final advance booking of approx. 45,000 tickets.

The film is slowly gaining momentum in the pre-sales and is setting itself up to surprise with the first-day results. The present trends have more or less confirmed a start of Rs. 7 crores on Friday and if the film commands positive word of mouth from the audience, it has a strong chance of even breaching the Rs. 8 crore mark on day one.

The business is being boosted by the Good Friday Holiday and the start will put the film in a good position to grow over the weekend. The general industry expectation from Crew was to take a start around the Rs. 5 crore mark, the film is headed to surprise and silence all the naysayers.

The advance bookings are already higher than Shahid Kapoor’s Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (33,000 tickets) and this also makes a statement that Kareena Kapoor continues to be a major draw among the audience with the right packaging.
