Ladrão de Joias: Começa o Assalto

I have no words, utter waste of time. What a brain dead movie. So disappointing that a veteran actor could be a part of such a lame script.

Every once in a while, a film comes along that reminds you just how valuable your time really is-mainly because you spend two hours regretting every minute lost. This movie, whatever it was trying to be, fails on nearly every conceivable level. From the moment the opening credits rolled to the merciful arrival of the end, it was an exhausting journey through incoherence, bad acting, and even worse writing.

Such a disappointment. Expected more depth and story line.

How can someone write such lame script , outdated storyline rotten hero/heroine drama and create such hype !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

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.

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.

The premise? As basic as it gets. A heist. A villain. A hero who conveniently knows everything in advance. It promises thrill, tension, and clever twists but delivers none.

Visually, the film tries hard to look slick, but the cinematography is painfully average. Several shots feel purposeless, transitions jarring, and key scenes lack any visual tension. There's a strange mismatch between the high-stakes setting and the dull, uninspired camera work.

The plot itself feels like a second-hand copy of every generic Hollywood heist movie ever made. You've seen it before, just with more gloss and less soul. There's zero originality in the scripting. It almost feels like someone binge-watched Now You See Me, Red Notice, and The Italian Job and mashed up the weakest parts.

And then, of course, comes the obligatory love angle. Because god forbid Bollywood lets the hero focus on, well, anything else. The romantic subplot is so forced, it feels like it was written just to pad the runtime or tick a checkbox.

Saif Ali Khan, despite trying to bring back his smooth-talking conman energy from Race and Race 2, ends up trapped in a half-baked script. It's a shadow of Abbas-Mastan's stylish chaos, but without any of the fun or flair. The attempt to inject Agent Vinod-style humor with comic punchlines falls flat every single time. It neither lands the laughs nor builds character charm.

In short, Jewel Thief is a hollow, stylized mess that mistakes costume changes and slo-mo shots for cleverness. Skip it. You're better off rewatching Race 1 with popcorn and nostalgia.
