Technical Review : Though the movie is stylized and picturisecd at picturesz locations with glamrous looks and vibes but the story itself lacks body , Jewel Thief’ doesn’t only lack a good climax, but also a decent beginning and a gripping middle. It defies all logic in all senses .The cinematography is good but the screenplay lacks Lustre.
It’s is fast paced and entertaining but with no logic whatsoever
Performances :Saif looks stylish, throws his usual I-know-what-I-am-doing swag around, and gets the work done. Even Jaideep Ahlawat is fantastic as this rogue, ruthless businessman; the highlight being His dance moves at the closing credits Nikita Dutta has nothing much to do
Final Words :The scale of the movie is grand as partially set in Budapest so can be watched to enjoy good locations forgetting about logic
