Movie Watch from the Archive: Return of Jewel Thief (Bollywood: 1996)

Tweet

I watched a Movie specially for Netflix titled "Jewel Thief: The Heist begins" starring a famous Bollywood star : Saif Ali Khan and another emerging star Jaideep Ahlawat. Seeing that, my mind flashed to a similarly named movie of 1960s and its part 2 almost 30 years later. I had seen the part 1. It was well made and appreciated. Part 2 did not prove much successful. This part named as "Return of Jewel Thief" had big stars: Dharmendra, Jackie Shroff, Ashok Kumar and Dev Anand(These 2 from part 1, reprising their roles), Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Prem Chopra and more. The movie had suspense, twists and turns, actions and certain amount of madness. One down point was too many songs. With less of them, the movie could have been better. Anyways, if you want to catch the action, check this out :
