Kunal Kapoor defends Jewel Thief after abysmal reviews: ‘It was never supposed to be this profound thing'
Fans were looking forward to Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Kunal Kapoor's film The Jewel Thief, which recently released on Netflix. However, the film failed to make a mark and received negative reviews from both critics and audiences alike. Now, Kunal Kapoor has come to the defense of the film, claiming that it fulfilled its primary motive — to entertain. Speaking to The Hindustan Times, Kunal said,, 'You would obviously want the film to land 100%. That is the most important thing, of course, because if people enjoy the film, they enjoy your work.' The actor claimed that the film's aim was to entertain the audience and not be 'profound' cinema. He said, 'Having said that, the reactions that I have gotten from people have shown that it did what it was supposed to do, which was entertain. It was supposed to be fun and have enough surprises to keep you engaged. That, it has done. It was never supposed to be this profound thing that changes your opinion about the world. It was supposed to be a fun ride and it has delivered on that.' The Indian Express's Shubhra Gupta gave the film one star and called it 'lazy and banal.' The film currently holds a 4.1 out of 10 rating on IMDb and a disappointing 6 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The Jewel Thief also marked the return of Saif Ali Khan to the screen after he suffered a knife attack at his home in Mumbai. The film was seen as a comeback of sorts for Saif, who underwent two surgeries following the attack. The film also starred Jaideep Ahlawat, whose dance moves on the song 'Jaadu' went viral. For Kunal, too, it marked a return to the screen after four years. He was last seen in the Netflix film Ankahi Kahaniya. During the same interaction, Kunal admitted that he agreed to do The Jewel Thief because the film offered him a fresh character — an Indian Secret Service officer — something he had never played before. He said, 'It was multiple things starting with a chance to do something I haven't done before. That's the most important thing for an actor.' He added, 'This kind of character has always been my favourite. It's just unfortunate I have never had the chance to be part of one of these films.'

Saif Ali Khans Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins Breaks Streaming Records, Tops Global Charts
New Delhi: Marflix Pictures' latest film Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins has quickly become a global streaming sensation, breaking records on Netflix since its release. The film has set a new benchmark by registering the biggest 3-day launch for any Indian Netflix title since June 2021, becoming the most-watched Indian film on the platform in that period. Beyond India, Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins also made a splash internationally, reaching #3 on Netflix's Global Top 10 Non-English Films list and securing a spot in the Top 10 Movies Worldwide. The film offers a lighthearted, breezy escape from the more intense, crime-driven content often dominating OTT platforms. Produced by Siddharth Anand's Marflix Pictures, it stands out for its impressive production value, a refreshing contrast to darker narratives. The initial buzz was sparked by the film's teaser in February, which generated considerable excitement. This was followed by the release of the film's hit single "Jaadu," which soared to the top of music charts, amplifying the anticipation even further. With a plot full of unexpected twists, romance, high-octane action, and comic moments, Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins has all the hallmarks of a classic Bollywood masala film. Viewers have responded positively to its entertaining blend of elements, which include song and dance routines and gripping action. The film features an ensemble cast including Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Nikita Dutta, and Kunal K Kapoor, all of whom have drawn praise for their performances. The high production values and Marflix's commitment to quality were evident throughout the film, adding to its appeal. A key element in the film's success was its effective marketing strategy, including a trailer that trended on YouTube India within hours of its release, helping to build massive anticipation ahead of the launch. Upon release, Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins shot to the top of Netflix's India watch list, a clear reflection of the significant pre-release buzz. Its success marks a significant milestone in the growing influence of Indian cinema on international streaming platforms and highlights the potential for well-crafted films to break boundaries and capture global audiences.
