Stolen

A gripping top class thriller which keeps you on the edge of your seat for most part. It is like a car starting up, getting into the first gear, speeding up fast on to top gear and finally getting into overdrive. A baby is stolen, two brothers are the suspects, the cops are not in a mood to listen and there are a number of angry villagers.

The director takes you along in a wild ride and you are in middle of the chaos, frenzy, suspense and excitement as the characters get into a high speed chase. Some superb action here with high class cinematography and editing to keep you engrossed throughout. The plot twists match the twists and turns of the terrain as the vehicle chased by bikers navigates the ravines and roads Full marks to the director, actors, cinematographer and editor for turning out a well made thriller.

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.

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.

This movie is true depiction of what a little misunderstanding can lead to a whole another world for you and you're not even prepared for it. There's always another side to a story. We should never jump to conclusions by just watching a viral video on social media.

This movie showed the reality of the mobs and how they work. You can literally get killed and there will be no one to blame. Kudos to the writer director for showing the cruel part of our society with so much honesty and dedication.

Child trafficking is a sin not to be forgiven ever. A parent's worst nightmare.

The way this movie shot is mind-blowing. The one take shots. Close-ups and long take chase scenes. A true cinematic experience at its very best. This movie is one of the best thrillers I've seen from Bollywood so far.

Highly Highly recommended!!!
