A thin oil film is formed between shell which is fitted into bigger size of connecting rod and pin of crank shaft so that there is not metal to metal contact. It is shell bearings or plain not hydrodynamic.

@Viralkumar.
No it is not a hydrodynamic bearing.

Is it hydrodynamic bearing?

It can take axial and thrust load during working condition.

Why we choose this type of bearing?

Instead of saying plane bearings we can call it as journal bearing.

The main reason behind using plain bearings is primarily for its high load bearing capacity since it offers maximum bearing contact surface. Secondly, the friction for this bearing will be a little higher compared to other types of bearings but it will be overcome with suitable lubrication arrangements. Third important point is that this is they only bearing type that can be split and assembled for easy installation as in case of crankshafts.
