Sethu Deshmukh, a notorious thief, is looking for a big score. He needs Anson Rosario, an expert thief, to help him pull it off. Their target – a massive jewel heist worth 500 crores. The catch? They have to evade Amar Mehra, a sharp cop who’s hot on their trail.
The trailer for “Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins” is out now. At just over 2 minutes long, it gives viewers a glimpse into the high-stakes world of these characters. Saif Ali Khan plays Rehan Roy, while Jaydeep Ahlawat plays Rajan Aulakh, a well-connected crime lord. Kunal K Kapoor is Amar Mehra, the detective tasked with catching them.
A Classic Heist Flick With a Modern Twist
The film’s makers claim it’s a modern take on the heist genre, with plenty of action and suspense. Director Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal have built anticipation with this trailer release. Nikita Dutta also stars alongside the three male leads, and there’s even a steamy kiss between her and Jaydeep Ahlawat’s characters. Some viewers have compared the film to the “Dhoom” and “Race” franchises – classic heist flicks that have captivated Indian audiences. One viewer noted, “This feels like ‘Dhoom 2’ all over again.” Another said, “Saif in a turban gives me ‘Sacred Games’ vibes.” Opinions are mixed, though. Some think it’ll be a hit, while others predict it’ll flop.
