The cinematography is initially impressive but falters in close scenes, offering little redemption.”
Another fan highlighted Saif Ali Khan’s performance, saying, “#SaifAliKhan plays the perfect mix of mystery and charm in #JewelThief. His portrayal of Rehan Roy is both sharp and compelling—undeniably one of his best performances to date.”
