Mumbai, June 9

Actor Abhishek Banerjee is over-the-moon as his latest release “Stolen” is getting rave reviews. He says that at a time when the spotlight is largely on big-budget and high-concept films, it feels good to see a content-driven movie connect with the audiences globally.

Abhishek said: "At a time when the spotlight is largely on big-budget, high-concept films, it feels good to see a content-driven film like Stolen connect with audiences across geographies."

The actor said that he has "always believed" in the strength of the story.

Abhishek added: "It's encouraging not just for us, but for many other filmmakers who are trying to create work that's rooted and honest. The kind of response we're getting--across social media, in reviews, and through viewership--is proof that audiences are open to new narratives. This kind of momentum pushes all of us to keep taking creative risks and backing unique stories."

The film is a heart-wrenching story of a mother, whose baby is snatched from her as she sleeps at a desolate railway station.

What follows is a relentless pursuit, as brothers Raman and Gautam, who join Jhumpa as they navigate treacherous terrain while hunting for the missing child deep in India's remote hinterlands, with hostile locals threatening their lives, their search evolves into a desperate fight for survival.

Directed by Karan Tejpal and written by Tejpal alongside Dhingra and Swapnil Salkar - Agadbumb, Stolen also features Harish Khanna, Mia Maelzer, Sahidur Rahaman, and Shubham Vardhan.

Led by executive producers Anurag Kashyap, Kiran Rao, Nikkhil Advani, Vikramaditya Motwane, directed by Karan Tejpal and produced by Gaurav Dhingra, Stolen is a Jungle Book Studio production.

"Stolen" is streaming on Prime Video.

Abhishek has showcased his acting prowess in films such as Stree, Bhediya, Stree 2, Paatal Lok, Dream Girl, Dream Girl 2, Rashmi Rocket and Vedaa.

Finally some appreciation for content-driven cinema! Big budgets don't guarantee good stories. Abhishek has consistently chosen quality roles - from Stree to Paatal Lok. Will definitely watch Stolen this weekend. More power to such films! 🙌

Saw Stolen yesterday and it left me emotionally drained (in a good way). The railway station scenes felt so real - reminded me of my train journeys in North India. Mia Maelzer's performance was heartbreaking. Hope this opens doors for more such raw, realistic films.

While I appreciate the effort, the trailer seemed a bit too dark for my taste. Wish Indian filmmakers would balance serious themes with some moments of relief. That said, glad to see Anurag Kashyap supporting new talent. Might give it a try.

Abhishek Banerjee is that rare actor who shines in both commercial and content-driven cinema. His comic timing in Dream Girl was superb, and now this intense role! Shows his versatility. Bollywood needs more actors like him who don't get typecast.

The real win here is that such films are getting global recognition. For too long, foreign audiences only saw Bollywood as song-dance dramas. Now they're seeing the depth of Indian storytelling. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 Hope this encourages more OTT platforms to invest in regional stories too.
