Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins

Jewel Thief its 1.57 Hr movie length but I watched only 40 minutes with lots of patience, expected more content from Jaideep Ahlawat & Saif Ali Khan but it's Disaster an slow movie. As per my opinion for bollywood Directors & Producers once watch your movies self before release on OTT or Theaters. I am nig fan of Siddharth Annand but now I'm disappointed with these slow & bore content.screenplay slow and BGM is so poor as a heist movie. Its not heist begin it's closure reports of any heist. I am sorry Marlix 😞 , one more thing why Kunal Kapoor & Nikita Dutta joined this movie without intense role.

A Heist Without Thrills

Netflix's Jewel Thief promises an exciting cat-and-mouse chase between a slick thief and a ruthless crime lord, but delivers little more than a checklist of tired heist movie tropes. Despite a talented cast led by Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, the film struggles to generate real tension or surprise, settling instead for a by-the-numbers execution.

The pacing moves quickly, but without clever twists or gripping stakes, the elaborate heists and chases feel hollow. Even the emotional beats land with a thud, failing to make us care about the characters' fates. While Ahlawat brings some menace to his role, Khan seems disengaged, and the supporting cast is given little to work with.

By the end, Jewel Thief feels less like a clever caper and more like a forgettable rehash. If you're craving a smart, stylish heist film, you might want to look elsewhere.

Verdict: A bland, uninspired thriller that steals your time but leaves no impression.

How can someone write such lame script , outdated storyline rotten hero/heroine drama and create such hype !

I was excited to watch, then I slept before climax. I just finished watching it next morning. Good that I didn't sacrifice my sleep.

It wasn't expected from veteran actors to choose such script. It fails to engage audience.

TBH set was classic international if same would've been with execution and script it would have been exceptional movie.

Watch it if you have time to waste. Ah it says minimum required char should be 67 so I am gonna write till char gets exempted. Ah it goes on !!

Why Netflix ? Why Saif? Why Jaideep? None of you had anything better to do than this?

Why me? Why did I not have anything better to do than watch this. Poor acting, horrible direction, garbage editing and starved audience = A typical Netflix Hindi Movie.

Saif must have been blackmailed into doing this, can't believe he did not find anything better. Just makes you wonder what's happened to Hindi cinema, such mediocrity, even the good actors seem to get trapped within this web of inaptitude. I actually think I can do a better job making a movie than this. My 4th grade acting experience should be enough.

BTW Who names their boat "Allegra" :o.

Jewel Thief may be considered a classic, but it doesn't age well. The plot is unnecessarily convoluted, with too many twists that feel forced rather than smart. Dev Anand's charm can't mask the sluggish pacing and underdeveloped characters. The film leans heavily on glamour and style, sacrificing logical storytelling and emotional depth. What should have been a sharp thriller turns into a confusing and bloated drama that loses steam midway. Despite its star cast and music, Jewel Thief ultimately fails to deliver the suspense and impact it promises.
