And he gets it, with Anjali sticking to him like a leech. At her birthday party, a gorgeous stranger Shalini (Vyjayantimala), clings to him, and calls him Amar and claims that he is her fiancé. Vinay disproves that, but cannot escape the feeling that this Amar needs to be found out. A number of daring jewelry heists have taken place and Vinay is the suspect. Who is the real jewel thief? Is it Vinay the police commissioners son? Is it the ever, elusive Amar? Or is someone cleverly masterminding the whole charade from the background? About the Actor Dev was born Dharam Dev Anand in Gurdaspur district of Punjab India in undivided Punjab to well-to-do advocate Kishorimal Anand. He graduated in English literature from the Government College, Lahore,(now in Pakistan).His love for acting made him leave his hometown for the centre of the Hindi film industry, Mumbai. Dev began his career in the military censor office at Churchgate, Mumbai, for a salary of Rs.160.He was soon offered a break as an actor by Prabhat Talkies to star in their film Hum Ek Hain(1946). While shooting for the film in Pune, Dev struck a friendship with another fellow legendary actor Guru Dutt.Dev was offered his first big break by Ashok Kumar. He spotted Dev hanging around in the studios and picked him as the hero for the Bombay Talkies production, Ziddi, costarring Kamini Kaushal (1948) which became a success. In 1949, Dev turned producer and launched his own company Navketan, which continues to produces movies.Dev chose to rely on Guru Dutt as director for the crime thriller, Baazi (1951). The collaboration was a success at the box office. He also played a few characters with a negative shade, like in Jaal(1952). His films Rahee and Aandhiyan, were screened there along with Raj Kapoor's Awaara. In the same year, Taxi Driver was declared a hit. Dev's heroine was Kalpana Kartik aka Mona Singha again, and the two decided to marry in a quiet ceremony. The couple had a son, Suneil Anand in 1956.A rapid-fire style of dialogue delivery and a penchant for nodding while speaking became Dev's style in films like Munimji, C.I.D. and Paying Guest. His style was lapped up by the audience and was widely imitated. He starred in a string of box office successes for the remainder of the 1950s. In 1955 he also co-starred with Dilip Kumar in Insaniyat. With his acting in Kala Pani (1958), as the son who is willing to go to any lengths to clear his framed father's name, he won the Best Actor Award for the film.His first film in colour, Guide with Waheeda Rehman was based on the novel of the same name by R. K. Narayan.His maiden attempt at direction, the espionage drama Prem Pujari, flopped, but he tasted success with his 1971 directorial effort, Hare Rama Hare Krishna which talked about the prevalent hippie culture. His find Zeenat Aman, who played the mini-skirt sporting, pot-smoking Janice, became an overnight sensation. Dev also became known as a filmmaker of trenchantly topical themes. This same year, he starred with Mumtaz in Tere Mere Sapne.In September 2007, Dev's own autobiography ""Romancing with Life"" was released at a birthday party with the Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.

As a movie, it will keep you guessing till the end as to who is Jewel Thief. Powerful star cast of the era that we grew to respect- Late Ashok Kumar, Late Dev Anand and top star Vayjanti Mala. ### ⭐ so disappointed. *by A***L on March 21, 2018* i orderd this dvd but when i opened the pakage one dvd was missing out of two,so disappointed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five stars for the movie; three stars for the DVD *by S***H on July 24, 2015* Five stars for the movie itself. It is a wonderful and thrilling roller-coaster ride with amazing scenery, music, dancing and costumes.Unfortunately, while the Amazon description clearly states that the DVD features English subtitles, the copy I received had no such functionality. Since I do not speak Hindi, this DVD is useless for viewing by myself and my family. We had seen Jewel Thief several years ago (on a DVD that actually had English subtitles, that I had borrowed from a friend), and had thoroughly enjoyed it. I had ordered this on Amazon hoping to obtain a copy of my own for our home library. Guess I'll have to keep looking!BTW - I have tried contacting the vendor through Amazon, but have not as yet received any response. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/22584870-jewel-thief](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/22584870-jewel-thief) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
