      Two stars only for setup

      How can someone write such lame script , outdated storyline rotten hero/heroine drama and create such hype !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

      Giving 1 just because hardwork of behind the camera people.

      Giving 1 just because hardwork of behind the camera people. Same movie will flop if it was release in 2000.

      Censor board should have blocked the title of a great movie

      Direction - 1 looks like some director who got it as first project to prove himself Animation - 1 20 year back they use to do same thing still those were better movies Editing -1 the work is done by freshers and no second cut was done Acting - 1 just because they dare to acted for such ridiculous script Climax - 2 - A film which should not have made. Ahlawat did just to get some movie and keep rolling his house , bread and butter.

      The only thing this film managed to steal was 2 hours of my life-and a nap.

      I had high hopes going into Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins. With a cast like Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, I expected a gripping, stylish thriller. What I got instead was a painfully slow, painfully predictable, and painfully hollow film that couldn't hold my attention beyond the first half hour.

      Midway through, I actually fell asleep. And not in the metaphorical "this is boring" way-I mean I genuinely nodded off. That's how low-energy and uninspired the film felt. The twists are obvious, the writing is lazy, and the pacing drags like it's in denial about being a thriller.

      I'm just relieved this was an OTT release-because if I'd watched this in a theatre, I would've absolutely asked for my money (and two hours) back.

      Skip it. Rewatch Special 26 or Ocean's Eleven instead. At least those knew what they were doing.

      Garbage

      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.

      Disaster

      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.
