Abhishek Banerjee Starrer ‘Stolen’ to Release on Prime Video on June 4

The much-anticipated Hindi crime thriller Stolen, starring Abhishek Banerjee, is set to make its global debut on Amazon Prime Video on June 4, 2025. Directed by debutant Karan Tejpal and produced by Gaurav Dhingra under Jungle Book Studio, the film has already generated significant buzz in international film circuits.

Stolen presents a gripping narrative centered around a real and harrowing social issue—child abduction. The story follows two urban brothers who find themselves at the center of a traumatic event when a baby is kidnapped from its impoverished mother at a remote railway station in rural India. Instead of walking away, the brothers are driven by conscience and a deep sense of responsibility, deciding to help the devastated mother track down her missing child. This journey, fraught with emotional and moral challenges, forms the core of the film.

The film stars Abhishek Banerjee in a powerful role, supported by an ensemble cast including Harish Khanna, Mia Maelzer, Sahidur Rahaman, and Shubham. Each actor brings raw, emotional intensity to the screen, capturing the complexity of the characters and the urgency of the story.

Stolen has already received widespread acclaim across global film festivals. It had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, where it earned a standing ovation. The film continued its successful run by winning several accolades at the Beijing International Film Festival, including Best Director for Karan Tejpal, Best Cinematography, and Best Actress. Further honors came from Japan’s Skip City International D-Cinema Festival, where it won both Best Film and Best Director, and a Special Mention at the Zurich Film Festival. Back home, Stolen was featured at the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival and the 28th International Film Festival of Kerala, receiving praise for its bold storytelling and strong performances.

The executive producers, who include renowned filmmakers like Anurag Kashyap, Kiran Rao, and Nikkhil Advani, have expressed their admiration for the film. Kashyap described Stolen as “strong, unflinching, relentless, and emotionally raw,” applauding its fearless storytelling and intense narrative. Kiran Rao was particularly moved by the character of Jhumpa, played by Mia Maelzer, praising her vulnerability, strength, and dignity. Nikkhil Advani emphasized how the film challenges traditional storytelling norms and invites meaningful discussion on societal issues.

The teaser of Stolen, released on May 26, 2025, offers a tense and emotional preview of the film, hinting at its gritty realism and thought-provoking themes. The cinematography, sound design, and direction all point toward a deeply immersive viewing experience.

Stolen is not just a crime thriller—it’s a socially relevant film that raises important questions about poverty, justice, and moral duty. As it arrives on Prime Video, it promises to engage audiences both emotionally and intellectually, making it a must-watch film this June.
