Jewel Thief trailer - Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat starrer fails to impress, fans call it too predictable

The trailer of Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins is out and as the name suggests the movie is all about the robbery of an important and famous diamond that is coming from Africa to India. Saif Ali Khan as the thief and Jaideep Ahlawat joining him as the mastermind is a perfect combination. However, what seems lacking in this Siddharth Anand-produced Netflix release is novelty and newness.

Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat’s Jewel Thief seems too predictable

The trailer of Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins is quite slick and stylish as is expected of any Siddharth Anand venture. However, as the trailer unravels the course of the story, it seems all too predictable. What’s more in a few shots you feel as if Saif Ali Khan from Race has made a comeback. But the heartening thing is that Jaideep lives up to the expectations and here is an actor who can very easily steal the thunder from the lead hero and divert all the public attention towards him.

Already the dance number of Jaideep, Nikita Dutta, and Saif has become such a big hit with Jaideep outshining the other two. Disappointed fans could not help but call it one of the dullest trailers ever released by Netflix. Also, there are no good dialogues or punchlines that are so essential in a crime thriller.

The story of Jewel Thief revolves around Rehan Roy played by Saif Ali Khan . He is the usual cunning but charming thief with sharp wits and is quick with his movements. He is hired by a calculated and cool mafia don called Rajan Aulakh played by Jaideep Ahlawat. The other members of the team include Kunal Kapoor as Vikram Patel, a unrelenting detective who intends to catch the jewel thief red handed.

Nikita Dutta plays the role of Farah who is the love of Rehan. But as the tussle to grab the African Red Sun jewel begins, loyalties shift and the characters and their moralities become blur.
