It’s cuckoo on many levels, but the film will have you believe that Everything Is Planned.

The film tragically underuses Ahlawat, who chews scenery impressively as a villain but lacks any real depth or motivation.

Rated: C

... this film is so lazily constructed that it doesn’t even bother thinking of a new or even a new-ish title...and then proceeds to cobble together a plot in which every scene and sequence has been done to death...

Rated: 1/5

For Netflix to produce a movie like Jewel Thief with our subscription money isn't all that different from taxpayer funds being used to erect public Wi-Fi towers that'll never work.

It’s a bad cartoon. And it goes on for nearly two hours.

Common Sense Media

While the performances themselves are good, committed. and appropriate for what the film wants, all the non-progressive representations of masculinity, men, and women make for an underwhelming and unintentionally hilarious experience.

Ok, that's a one and a half hour of my life I will never get back. The story superficially seems alright, but when you start using three braincells instead of two it becomes clear there are many, many loose ends to it. Why on earth would Rajan need to call Moosa to ask if he wants to buy the Red Sun before actually stealing it, and then to become death threatened by him? He doesn't owe Moosa anything yet at that point if he steals it on his own accord. I would get it if Moosa had any stake in the game, but he just needs to sit back and relax. It just doesn't make sense on so many levels, and a lot of the violence feels overdone because there is no real stake in the game. One thing that is the most important in moviemaking, is storytelling and the script in this movie just downright sucks.

Bollywood really cannot make a decent heist movie and it still refuses to give up. Jewel Thief, with its unoriginal title, was nothing but an attempt again. Jaideep Ahlawat and Saif Ali Khan are better actors and both seem to like to experiment. But I hope before they do so, they also read the script with more scrutiny.

I found it really good, it was nice to see Saif Ali Khan back on screen. Sure it has some flaws but it’s a re-watchable movie, not like what has been recently coming out from Bollywood.
