Siddharth Anand, who made big budget films like Pathan, War and Bang-Bang, did not have as much confidence in the script of ‘Jewel Thef’ himself as the mosquito is confident on bite even after the mosquito. Perhaps this was the reason why they slammed it directly on OTT. He knew that people would leave popcorn to see it in the theater. He lifted Saif Ali Khan in place of Dhakad stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan, became a producer himself and left the responsibility of directing Kuki Gulati and Robbie Grewal, that is, he himself gave up all hope.
It was felt by the name that a huge theft would be shown in this film. 500 crore diamonds named ‘Red Sun’ had to be stealed, shooting abroad, hero-heroin was to be bathed in five star life, to impress the audience with expensive liquor, gleaming clothes and swags. That is, the full dose of the show was thought, the idea of writing the story was probably somewhere on the way.
There are big things in the security system in the story, but it has been made as easy as stealing chocolate for the child. Hero knows everything in advance, when the building cameras will fail, when the British had created a drain, how to spoil the plane, and how to hide the diamond in the ambassador’s bag.
The hero steals the password as if he has lifted the pencil lying on the way. A 10 -letter password, which is formed millions of combinations, opens it as if the mobile pattern lock is opening. Mathematicians and AI will be shocked at this!
Every location from Istanbul to Mumbai is so much fame for him like the street of the locality. The police inspector is also lagging behind, but he too gets all the information with the help of fat brother, the script writer has given ‘blessings’ in the name of writing.
As the film moves forward, the level of stupidity also increases at the speed of the escalator. The extent is when the aircraft is taken directly in the middle of the city instead of the runway of Istanbul. Wow brother.
Hero is flirting in his bungalow with Villain’s wife and Villain and his spoon are sitting blind. The owner of 500 crore diamonds is also such a tapori type, which revolves around the diamond as if there is a stone purchased from the roadside.
All the work in the story is done without any bottleneck, no fear of security, nor fear of police, nor fear of logic. Thrill and tension, which is the real spice of such heest films, is absent here. That is, without salt, khichdi.
The directors take full hard work to show the film to show the rich, but do not give water to the content. That is, the film is hollow from inside even by offering gold cover.
Seeing Saif Ali Khan, it seems that he himself had done ‘Hi Ram’ after seeing the condition of the script. His look was not paid much attention. Jaideep Ahlawat has definitely reduced weight, but could not increase the weight of the character on the screen.
Overall, ‘Jewel Thef – The Hest Beins’ is the film that you can also shout, “Brother, return my time.”
Rating: 1/5
