Anupama Chopra The Hollywood Reporter Will keep you hooked and horrified Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express ...Bannerjee is most effective when playing vile or silly; here his character finding redemption becomes the lens through which the larger societal injustice is viewed, making it narrower and not as impactful. Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International Running the gamut from faintly flustered loftiness to all-out desperation, tempered by new empathy, Banerjee’s performance helps shift Stolen into an altogether more compelling gear than it might otherwise have reached. Nov 4, 2023 Full Review Ishita Sengupta OTTplay Karan Tejpal's Stolen is a rare film about class that unfolds with its ear close to the ground. One that resists making empty statements by checking its privilege as part of the critique. Aug 18, 2025 Full Review Sucharita Tyagi Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Stolen is a study of a new kind of angry young man in India, with directionless anger. Like a firecracker that’s gone off in the wrong direction, the film is interested in people beginning to implode on their way to burning the whole system down. Jul 29, 2025 Full Review Dipankar Sarkar Upper Stall Stolen resists easy moral binaries, choosing instead to confront the murky terrain of complicity, where good intentions are no shield against systemic rot.

Sayan C If you haven't watch this plz watch it we need more movies like this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Yash B "Stolen" is not your conventional Hindi movie in any way, but that is why it shines. It is a tense 90-minute thriller that kept me engaged and interested to see what would happen next. The mystery element of the movie is intriguing at first, but the big revelations were not as exciting as I was anticipating. Still, the movie kept me guessing, and some of the shots were really incredible and creative. The main actors in this do a really good job, and the movie mostly feels realistic and often unnerving. Overall, I would really like to see more creative and unique films that go against expectations come out of India in the years to come. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Lucky01 A tense, 90-minute Hindi thriller rooted in real events. Gripping from the first scene, it builds suspense with every moment. The performances by the three leads are powerful, making this a sharp, unsettling watch that stays with you. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/25 Full Review Shailendra K My one word review - Phenomenal. Now let me tell you why? Stolen is a one of the most gripping, realistic, socially aware, adrenaline infused roller coaster ride brought to screen in recent times. A simple story based on real life events about an infant kidnapping that snowballs into a complex fight for survival because of how society operates in the current age of viral (mis) information. Abhishek Banerjee is outstanding in his role of the business minded elder brother who simply wants to stay out of trouble and get to a family wedding. His physical, emotional and psychological transformation is beautifully captured and exceptionally performed. Shubham Vardhan as his empathetic younger brother also does a terrific job. Mia Maelzer as the frantic mother gives an intricate heart touching performance. The actors who play the cops are very believable and relatable and along with the remaining supporting cast make this movie absolutely fantastic. The movie wastes no time and gets straight to the point with its first scene and then stays on track with no detours till its end credits roll giving its viewers hardly anytime to breath a sigh of relief. Kudos to the writer director Karan Tejpal for making such an intense thriller and at the same time provide such powerful underlying commentary on social issues, the inadvertent effects of social media and the blind nature of mob mentality. This is exactly the kind of movies that Bollywood has to make but it is also the kind of movies that fans and audiences have to support. A truly mind blowing experience. One of the best movies of the year. 9/10 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/25 Full Review Dinesh J Stolen is a gripping thriller that masterfully uses its suspenseful plot and strong performances to explore themes of abduction and the desperate search for truth. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/25 Full Review Sameir A 200/2025 Stolen (2023) #IMDb : 7.5/10 #KiduMovie : 85% A great thriller keeps you hooked without unnecessary distractions, and this movie does exactly that. Every scene unfolds in its own unique setting, keeping things fresh and engaging. The story moves smoothly from one moment to the next, making it a gripping watch. Definitely worth checking out! #thriller #anuragkashyap #hindi #movie #cinema #review Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
