 "The Heist Movie Review: Nad Sham, Suman Rao starrer is a high-stakes game of twists & turns")
Star Cast: Nad Sham, Suman Rao, Siddhant Kapoor, Jagat Rawat & Tasneem Khan
Director: Aditya Aawaandhe
In recent times, we have seen films impressing the audience with their strong content despite featuring less or no popular faces and The Heist is the latest example of it.
Directed by Aditya Aawaandhe and penned by Nikita Chaturvedi, the film brings to life a story teeming with intrigue, cunning, and deception.
At the heart of The Heist is an electrifying story: former FATF (Financial Action Task Force) agent Ananya crosses paths with Neel, a master con artist, through the shadowy corners of the Dark Web. Together, they form an unlikely alliance to execute an audacious plan – looting a billionaire fugitive’s ill-gotten wealth and dismantling his vast smuggling network. This setup promises and delivers a high-octane journey filled with twists, turns, and suspense.
Nad Sham, who makes a promising debut, delivers a performance worth remembering. His portrayal of the cunning and charismatic con artist is both convincing and compelling, making him a standout in this film. Alongside him, Suman Rao and Nandini Gupta, Miss India World 2023, bring depth and nuance to their characters, adding to the film’s overall appeal.
Siddhanth Kapoor, taking on the role of the main villain, channels his inner Shakti Kapoor with an intensity that brings the antagonist to life. Pratyaksh Rajbhatt, known for his work in “ _Aranyak_ ,” adds another layer of menace to the villainous ensemble, making the stakes even higher for our protagonists.
The direction, screenplay, and cinematography work in perfect harmony to create a thrilling and immersive experience for the audience.
On the whole, The Heist is more than just a ‘heist’ film and is a well-crafted narrative thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
Rating: 3 (out of 5 stars)
The Heist will release on 19th July
