Starring Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat, Jewel Thief premiered on Netflix on April 25 and you best believe the Janta had a lot to say about the film!
Jewel Thief is a 2025 Hindi-language heist thriller directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal and produced by Siddharth Anand and Mamta Anand under Marflix Pictures. The story centers on Rehan Roy (Saif Ali Khan), a sophisticated jewel thief recruited by crime lord Rajan Aulakh (Jaideep Ahlawat) to steal a priceless African ruby.As Rehan devises an elaborate plan involving multiple disguises and high-stakes maneuvers, he encounters Farah (Nikita Dutta), Rajan's wife, who becomes an unexpected ally.The heist unfolds across international locations, including Mumbai and Istanbul, leading to a series of betrayals and twists.The cast also includesKunal Kapoor who portrays Vikram Patel, an Indian Secret Service officer determined to apprehend Rehan.
According to audience reactions, Jewel Thief seems to be a major disappointment. Many viewers felt that while the concept had potential, the execution was weak, with a dull screenplay, predictable twists, and too many unnecessary subplots dragged the story down. The acting, though decent, couldn't save a film weighed down by confusing editing, random song placements, and noticeable continuity issues. Despite having a strong cast, particularly Jaideep Ahlawat, the film failed to utilize their talent effectively. The overall experience left audiences feeling underwhelmed, with many criticizing the film for lacking suspense and excitement, and questioning the decision to set up a sequel when the first part itself struggled to keep viewers engaged.
Jewel Thief is one of the worst things I've ever watched. It's unbelievable how low effort Bwood has gotten. First thought scripts, bad dubbing, bad makeup, shooting actors at unflattering angles. Awful background actors, the same 90s gags. ZERO thought into anything
Aaj maine socha ki kuch no-brainer type ka dekh leti hoon, so I picked up "Jewel Thief". Movie is like phata hua pyjama with plot holes galore. Many good talents wasted.
Some movies promise a lot but don’t deliver, and #JewelThiefOnNetflix is like that! 💎💥 The story had a good idea, but it feels boring. Acting is okay, and the twists are too simple to guess. #NetflixIndia should have made it better! Rating: ⭐⭐ Not so good from #SidharthAnand,… pic.twitter.com/lwF5zUgeMJ
#JewelThiefOnNetflix: FINALLY I FINISHED IT!! What a Mess🤨 Race, Dhoom, Luck sabko mix kr dia with too many subplots, outdated & predictable twists, illogical story, random songs & continuity errors This was a THIRST TRAP only due to #SaifAliKhan#JaideepAhlawat who were wasted pic.twitter.com/nM2GxdhZGR
Jewel Theif is a 2G con story in the era of 5G. One of those films made to loot Neflix by bollywood. Still u can give it a try mainly due to Jaideep Ahlawat. 2.5/5 #JewelThiefpic.twitter.com/BN4KQnHaKb
Watched Jewel Thief because clearly I don’t respect my time. Terrible writing, butchered editing, wasted Jaideep. And the ending? “The heist continues.” Part 2?? Bold and delusional.
Biggest snoozefest since fighter. Man the screenplay is so dull that it almost makes you stop watching movies for a while. And it gets on the nerves when you see actors are doing their work brilliantly. Dunno when I will be able to finish the film. pic.twitter.com/mRJANLt40x
Jewel Thief is a major letdown. Saif and Jaideep Ahlawat deliver solid performances, but the weak storyline and poor direction fall flat. Attempting to mimic Dhoom 2, it lacks both style and grandeur. pic.twitter.com/mys6OpbYzx
