Reviews

Critical reception to Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins has been mixed to negative. On IMDb, the film holds a relatively low rating of 4.1/10, indicating lukewarm audience reactions. Reviewers have often praised Saif Ali Khan’s charismatic presence and the film’s stylish cinematography, with one IMDb user remarking, "Saif’s performance shines even when the plot falters." However, many critics point out that the screenplay lacks originality and that the pacing suffers due to predictable plot elements. Rotten Tomatoes does not currently list an official score, but several critics have noted the film's failure to build sufficient suspense, with some commenting that the heist sequences, though visually appealing, don’t deliver the expected adrenaline rush. Metacritic scores also reflect mixed reviews, averaging around 45/100, with critiques focusing on underdeveloped characters and a convoluted storyline. Overall, while fans of Saif Ali Khan may find moments to enjoy, the film falls short of the thrilling experience that its premise promises.
