Stolen

A refreshing story and take on storytelling compared to the current-age bollywood films.

All the actors are fantastic. But the real winner is the director and producer here. Very unique shots and realistic way of creating a immersive experience.

A good light upon the India that we don't see, just scroll through. This is coming from a Tier 1 city audience.

Also what really caught my attention was that there was little to no background music. And it didn't need a loud, melodramatic score. So that was a very unconventional, brilliant choice as well.

I hope more movies like this are made that are socially relevant and entertaining!

What a journey Stolen was! From the first frame to the last, it grips you by the jawbone-literally-and refuses to let go. It's one of those thrillers that doesn't just give you chills; it injects straight into your spine.

At the heart of it lies a question that hits hard: Should you help someone in need, even if they're from the fringes of society? The film doesn't hand you answers but makes sure you're asking yourself that question long after the credits roll.

The score? Absolutely electric. It doesn't just complement the scenes-it amplifies the chaos. Goosebumps are guaranteed.

The acting-ooh gosh-it was brilliant. Abhishek Banerjee delivers a career-best performance, slipping into his character with unnerving ease. And by the way... he was right after all. That's why you should always listen to your big brother. 👀

And let's not forget the surprise MVP of the film: the Fortuner. Who knew an SUV could have a bigger character arc than half the cast? At this rate, Toyota's stock is about to skyrocket. Give that car an award-or at least a Netflix spin-off. 😂

Cinematography was insane. Every shot was crafted with precision, adding depth and mood that elevated the entire experience. It wasn't just a film-it was a visual sprint.

The pacing? Fast. Very fast. But amid all the action, the film managed to explore the lives of the lowborn, highlighting their struggles without slowing the momentum. That's a tightrope walk, and they nailed it.

Hats off to the director for pulling off such a gripping, layered, and surprisingly reflective ride. This isn't just entertainment-it's a conversation starter.

Final Verdict: 8.5/10 Stolen (2025) isn't just a film. It's a wild ride with heart, grit, Abhishek Banerjee at full power, and yes... a Fortuner that might just steal your heart.

Stolen is a raw and rustic survival drama that starts setting up the plot right from the first frame. The characters step in quickly, and the drama begins to unfold in a real and raw manner. The acting performances are both rustic and impressive. Abhishek Banerjee balances both sides of his character-being a rich, stiff kind of guy and a man trapped in gory danger. Mia Maelzer is organic in her rural Bengali portrayal and expresses emotions in a very real way.

Shubham plays his part well.

The movie is a survival drama where the characters keep getting caught in a loop of traps. The best part of the film is the way it's shot-especially the chaotic scenes, where you feel the intensity and suffocation. Somewhere in the second half, the movie loses momentum with its repeatedly long chase sequences, despite a crisp 90-minute runtime. Towards the end, the dots connect, and everything starts to make sense. Overall, Stolen may not be a trendy commercial film, but it has all the elements of a gritty, rustic survival drama, with action and realism in storytelling, showcasing different themes of society such as misinformation and classism.

OVERALL 7/10.

A great thriller keeps you hooked without unnecessary distractions, and this movie does exactly that. Every scene unfolds in its own unique setting, keeping things fresh and engaging. The raw, unpolished filmmaking style adds to the realism, making the experience feel even more immersive. The performances are truly impressive-not just from the actors but from the entire crew, who bring the story to life with skill and intensity. The pacing keeps you on edge, making it a gripping watch.

If this film were Korean, it would likely receive endless praise, yet Stolen hasn't gotten the recognition it truly deserves. It delivers everything a solid thriller should, but somehow remains underappreciated. Definitely worth checking out!

#KiduMovie 200/2025.

An exhilarating movie from start to finish, incredibly fast-paced and ceaselessly engaging, leaving the audience perpetually guessing what's next. It perfectly blends elements of dark comedy with intense, action-packed, violent sequences.

The film explores interesting dynamics such as the complicated relationship between brothers, the disparities between rich and poor, and the contrasts between urban and rural India.

I found myself wholly absorbed and thoroughly enjoyed the movie - the only thing I didn't like was the shaky camera in parts which was a bit distracting.

I've heard some people comparing this movie to NH10, so if you liked that I highly recommend you check out Stolen.

Enjoy the ride! 👶🏼
