‘Stolen' Movie Review: Backed by Anurag Kashyap & Kiran Rao, Abhishek Banerjee's film is engaging, immersive and has a message
Amazon Prime Video's 'Stolen' movie starring Abhishek Banerjee is a thriller but has a very restrained way of telling the story. read more No unnecessary melodrama. There is a constant conflict between two urban brothers who love each other dearly, but they think differently. Stolen will steal your heart to see the plight of a mother in search of her baby Champa. This crime thriller tells the story of two brothers who are entangled in a scary search for a baby that has been kidnapped. Despite their differences, both the brothers come together to find the child. Directed by Karan Tejpal and produced by Anurag Kashyap and Kiran Rao , the movie begins with Gautam ( Abhishek Banerjee ) waiting to pick up his brother, Raman (Shubham Vardhan) from the railway station. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Raman (Shubham Vardhan) comes across a woman fanatically looking for her daughter. The baby is abducted from Jhumpa's arms, (Mia Maelzer), as she sleeps at a desolate railway station. What follows is a relentless search of the two brothers to find the child who unknowingly gets entangled in this case. A still from Stolen has already made waves at multiple national and international film festivals for its brilliant, yet simple storyline and equally brilliant performances by the entire cast of the film. There is more to this thriller and it also touches upon the misuse of surrogacy rights and the incompetence of the cops. The film moves at a pace where there is no moment to question the drawbacks of filmmaking. But the one who steals the show is definitely Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer) with her expressive eyes doing all the talking. She is terrified yet determined to find her daughter. And nothing can stop her from this. The way Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) transforms her chracter from not so interested in helping Jhumpa, to be the man who actually found the baby and handed it over to her mother is what brings a smile. The earnest performances are the selling points of Karan Tejpal's Stolen. Stolen though is filled with action, but not an edge-of-the-seat thriller and that's what makes it different from other films. The movie makes us believe that there are selfless people in this world and that human goodness still exists. Rating: 4 out of 5 WATCH the trailer of Stolen movie here:
