Jewel Thief Actor Kunal Kapoor Opens Up About Working in Films that Transcend Language Barriers: The whole country is our playground, every story worth telling is our story

Kunal Kapoor is currently creating quite a buzz in the industry. With several exciting projects in the pipeline, he’s currently seen in a heist drama, Jewel Thief. While he has several interesting projects lined up Kunal Kapoor took a moment to talk about working in films that transcend language barriers. He highlighted the creative freedom of Indian storytellers and emphasized that the vision of filmmakers and actors should transcend regional divides.

Kunal Kapoor said, “I am an Indian actor shooting films in different Indian industries. I don’t view cinema through the lens of North, South, East, or West. These regional divisions serve political interests, not artistic ones. The politicians are the ones who benefit from such regionalism. As creative people,...

Netflix might have just delivered a gift for cinema fans in the form of a Hitchcock collection, but it's also yet to make up for the horrible "The Electric State," its most expensive movie and the Russo brothers' worst. More in the way of Hitchcock compendiums might well help in that regard, but not if the streamer also keeps churning out things like the Indian heist thriller "Jewel Thief -- The Heist Begins."

Must-see actioner "Rrr" gained international attention in 2022, becoming a box office smash and even winning a Best Original Song Oscar. It then expanded its audience when it hit Netflix in the U.S., and ever since, there's been a steady stream of Indian actioners finding their way onto the streamer domestically. It should be noted that there's also been an array of decent offerings from the country. In 2023, for example, the Indian crime drama "Jaane Jaan" broke...

Aamir Khan Didn’t Like His Acting In This Powerful Rang De Basanti Scene ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Indian actor Aamir Khan has delivered many memorable performances during his illustrious forty-year acting career. Whether it’s his cop act in Sarfarosh, his performance as a strong-willed villager in Lagaan, or his performance as a determined father in Dangal, he nailed them all. But according to Aamir Khan, that’s not the case with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s critically acclaimed social political drama ‘Rang De Basanti’ because the sixty-year-old actor thinks that he could have done one particular scene of the film much better.

The Rang De Basanti Scene Which Still Irritates Aamir Khan

In a recent interview with Fever FM, Aamir Khan confessed that he was not satisfied with his own acting in the scene from Rang De Basanti where DJ and Sue come back after facing the wrath of the police during a peaceful protest.

Actor Kunal Kapoor, talks with Subhash K Jha, about his latest project Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, including delving into his role, what it was like working with Saif Ali Khan and what is coming up next!

Long time no see, Kunal; where have you been hiding your talented self? The last I saw you was in Ankahee Kahaniyan, why are you so picky?

Hiding? I’ve been standing in plain sight; it’s just that the spotlight hasn’t been on me. People assume that because you’re not seen, you’re not connected to the industry. But I always am. Constantly working on getting better at what I do. At the same time, I’ve got a writers’ room. We are creating scripts, some that I want to act in, some produce. The idea was that if you can’t find the scripts you have your heart in,...

When Saif Ali Khan Revealed Whether He Gets Jealous Of Kareena Kapoor’s Success (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are among the most influential and admired couples in the film industry, often setting relationship goals with their charm and grace. Given their shared careers in showbiz, they are no strangers to the highs and lows of success and failure. In an industry where insecurities can easily surface, especially when one partner enjoys a box office hit while the other faces a setback, ego clashes are not uncommon. Saif once opened up about handling such situations, particularly when he experiences failure while Kareena rides a wave of success. Keep scrolling for more.

They were both in serious relationships before choosing to spend their lives together. Kareena and Saif fell in love on the sets of Tashan. He was previously married to Amrita Singh and has two kids,...

From its first frames, Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins announces itself as an East-meets-West heist thriller, merging Bollywood’s flair for spectacle with the disciplined tempo of global caper films. Saif Ali Khan embodies Rehan Roy, a charismatic burglar who’s lived abroad under a cloud of family disgrace. When crime lord Rajan Aulakh (Jaideep Ahlawat) threatens Rehan’s kin to secure his expertise, the stage is set for a contest of wit, loyalty and high-stakes robbery.

The film’s energy hinges on the tension between Rehan and Vikram Patel (Kunal Kapoor), an upright investigator whose respect for his quarry hints at comradeship beneath rivalry. Nikita Dutta appears as Farah, Rajan’s spouse, whose shifting devotion becomes a key fault line in the plot. Striking cinematography —notably a sequence where Rehan scales a museum wall— a score that pulses with orchestral underscores, and crisp editing unite to sustain forward momentum.

Robbie Grewal and Kookie Gulati’s “Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins” is one of the most insufferable films to emerge in recent times. There are bad films, and then there’s something like this, which throws you into existential angst. Has Hindi cinema sunk this low that such capable actors have to do such films — joyless and overtly manufactured and deathly silly-to continue their careers. This film is one of those that everyone involved would likely distance themselves from just a few years down the line. Other than a great offer of money, no other reason justifies anyone choosing to star in this film, especially Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat.

One is an impossible-to-nab world-class thief, the other a dishonourable art collector with an appetite for grotesque violence and swindling. Khan’s Rehan Roy purports to give up on his thieving when he’s contacted by his helpless brother,...

Bollywood used to make fun crime movies. This is the country of “Don,” of “Bunty Aur Babli” of not one but three “Dhoom” movies. Heck, Netflix’s recent “Dhoom Dhaam” (unrelated to the aforementioned franchise) threw its hat in the ring to respectable results. And while those other examples may be from a bygone era of joyful abandon, the current moment leaves a lot to be desired.

In its defense, Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal’s “Jewel Thief” does not purport to be any kind of caper, but the self-serious wannabe action drama in its place leaves much to be desired. One can’t fault producer Siddharth Anand for committing to more of the same after the success of projects like “Pathaan,” “War,” and “Tiger” — but those were theatrical releases, unlike this one, and did not star Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat.

Khan plays Rehan Roy, a notorious jewel...

“Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins” arrives on Netflix led by established Bollywood stars Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, with support from Nikita Dutta and Kunal Kapoor. However, before landing on Netflix, the film faced a significant hurdle: film critics in India panned it, with some outlets giving it ratings as low as one out of five stars.

Was the criticism warranted? We’ll explore that shortly.

Produced by Marflix Pictures, founded by Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand, the company is known for delivering some of Bollywood’s biggest action blockbusters like War, Pathaan, and Fighter. Marflix’s involvement set expectations for a visually spectacular and thrilling experience, even on a streaming platform. Indeed, the producers explicitly stated their goal was to bring the “scale and thrill of big-screen action” to Netflix, marking Marflix’s streaming debut. The film was directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal.

For lead actor Saif Ali Khan,...

Saif Ali Khan has always taken on myriad of characters that challenge him and let him experiment with his craft. The actor has created many iconic characters and has been seen in outstanding films and series in his storied career. Khan has successfully starred in projects both on the big screen and on Ott, and what is cool is that he says he never saw the projects differently be it for the big or small screen.

Talking about working on the different platforms, Saif Ali Khan said, “There were one or two people who asked my manager if I was doing TV now. There is nothing against TV; it’s a great medium. But I don’t think the Netflix Series is like TV at all; there are differences. Being in front of the camera is a privilege; the older I get, the more I understand that. You have to be great,...

Jewel Thief Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Nikita Dutta, Kunal Kapoor

Director: Kookie Gulati And Robbie Grewal

Jewel Thief Movie Review (Photo Credit – Instagram)

What’s Good: Jaideep Ahlawat’s performance, the picturesque locations, and the cinematography.

What’s Bad: The movie is filled with illogical subplots, absurdities, and idiosyncrasies. The dialogues are extremely stereotypical, and except for Jaideep Ahlawat, none of the cast members manage to make an impact. Some of the sub-plots and twists are laughable and cannot even be watched as a guilty pleasure.

Loo Break: You can actually take one during the songs or otherwise, too, because this one does not require you to rake your brain.

Watch or Not?: If you cannot find any worthwhile content on Ott this week, this one can be a last resort.

Subhash K Jha revisits Milan Luthria’s slice of life with a touch of cricket movie, Hat Trick as it completes 18 years.

Hat Trick has been wrongly projected as a cricket film. The truth is that it’s as much about cricket as about hats. But honestly, hats off to producer Utv, director Milan Luthria, and writer Rajat Aroraa for displaying such an enormously enterprising spirit. Unlike some other films that push the envelope, Hat Trick doesn’t get self-indulgently, didactic, or ham-handed. The narrative, segregated into three nimble and endearing slices of life, never fails to entertain.

Hat Trick doesn’t flounder even once in telling its story of lives that barely crisscross and yet come together in celebrating life at its most elemental level. The homilies spill out from Rajat Aroraa’s energetic words, which often say a lot more than they seem to.

The film has three stories interwoven into it.

His daughter Pia Benegal confirmed the news to India Today. He had recently celebrated his 90th birthday with friends, family and the likes of Shashi Kapoor’s son Kunal Kapoor, according to the local outlet.

Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor shared personal memories and professional insights about his grandfather, pioneering Indian filmmaker Raj Kapoor, during a discussion with director Rahul Rawail at the International Film Festival of India (Iffi) in Goa, where Kapoor’s centenary is being celebrated.

“My memories of him are very personal,” said Kapoor, recalling his grandfather who passed away when he was six. “He used to take us to his room, and he used to hide these caramel toffees in his fridge. He used to make us stand in a line – all the cousins, Kareena, Karishma, my sister, myself – and ask us to do ‘Salaam’ and to sing ‘Awaara Hoon’ [from “Awaara,” 1951].”

Discussing Raj Kapoor’s filmmaking, the younger Kapoor noted his grandfather’s ability to tackle varied social themes throughout his career. “If you see ‘Awaara,’ it was based on casteism. ‘Shree 420’ [1955] spoke about greed and the underprivileged. In his latter films,...

Will Chiranjeevi’s Delay Significantly Impact Viswambhara’s Box Office Performance? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

Megastar Chiranjeevi‘s upcoming movie Viswambhara was initially slated for a Sankranthi release but has now been postponed to the summer. With the teaser already out, many fans question whether delaying the film was the right decision, especially considering the competitive Sankranthi season.

The film teaser received mixed responses, and social media was flooded with criticism of the visual effects (VFX). This troll from the movie buffs has raised doubts about the film’s overall production quality. Typically, movies released during the Sankranthi season enjoy excellent box office success even if they aren’t technically perfect. The festive crowd often supports films with flaws, which Viswambhara could have benefited if they had stuck to their original release date.

Releasing during the Sankranthi season allowed Viswambhara to draw in large holiday audiences, potentially making up for the...

The actor said, “Non-negotiable fitness thing is the diet. I’m really sort of particular about what I eat. I do have a few cheat days and stuff and I do enjoy those of course. But there are some things I don’t want to eat like fried food and stuff, it is not something that I’m big on”.

Review‘The Empire’, streaming on Disney+Hotstar, is a grand retelling of how Mughal king Babur came to rule India. Saraswati DatarDisney+HotstarWhen the promos of The Empire, now streaming on Disney+Hotstar, were released, there were strong reactions.
