Fresh On Netflix: How Saif Ali Khan’s Jewel Thief Fared?

The OTT space has been running high and dry with lack of adequate options with regard to fresh options and superstar driven films. However, we have a new film in the form of Jewel Thief which has Bollywood superstar Saif Ali Khan in the lead role. Here is allocate the kind of public talk that has been generated by this film shortly after its debut on Netflix.

Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, Saif Ali Khan’s latest Netflix release, has sparked mixed reactions among audiences and critics alike. Directed by Robbie Grewal and produced by Siddharth Anand, the film casts Saif as Rehan Roy, a charming conman hired to steal the elusive African Red Sun diamond.

The film costars Jaideep Ahlawat who delivers a powerful performance as Rajan Aulakh, creating a gripping face-off. While the film boasts slick visuals and an exciting premise, it struggled to meet expectations.

Critics from leading national media outlets like Hindustan Times and The Indian Express gave it just 1 out of 5 stars, citing a lack of originality and a weak storyline. However, Saif’s screen presence and chemistry with Ahlawat were appreciated. The film also gained attention as it marked Saif’s first public appearance following a knife attack earlier this year.

The early reaction for the film has been very submissive and regressive, as it could not generate any sort of unanimous positive momentum. It has to be seen if it would actually be able to generate any further noise on Netflix from now on.
