New Delhi: Saif Ali Khan continues to prove that great storytelling knows no boundaries—be it the big screen or OTT. Known for his versatility and refined choices, Saif’s latest outing, Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, is making serious waves on Netflix. Since its release, the high-octane thriller has climbed straight to the #1 spot in India, earning praise for its gripping narrative and standout performances.

Directed by Kookie Gulati and Robbie Grewal, and produced by Siddharth Anand, Jewel Thief is more than just a crime caper—it’s another bold step in Saif’s ongoing OTT journey. Having redefined streaming content with his game-changing role in Sacred Games back in 2018, Saif once again raises the bar with this slick, action-packed thriller.

With its fast-paced plot, layered characters, and stylish execution, Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins is a must-watch for your weekend binge list.
