Watch Aankhen For Free

The Worst Film Ever

Just perfect...

Best movie ever!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I really enjoyed this. I had come to watch it not knowing what to expect. I had heard the part about all the characters being blind but not much else. What i discovered was an excellent bank heist thriller with great turns from Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar (who i normally don't like, in fact i thought he was very good in this).Even arjun rampal, who is a very dull screen personality, came across well. I always find he is better playing blind guys (see also VAADA) or villains (see Om Shanti Om). Sushmita Sen was great, she is very pretty, i wish the romance between her and arjun could have been developed a little more (or maybe they should do another film together as they make a nice pair)but it probably would have spolied the tone of Aankhen.Overall it was a film that really draws you in. The plot was good and the ending made me wish for a sequel!

Vipul Shah inspired from a Gujarati play made this film The story was quite novel and looked nice on paper This was something quite novel in 2002 when most filmmakers went through the safe formulaThe film starts brilliantly with Amitabh's character shown as a mental character and then the entire decision to plant a robbery is fantastic The flashbacks of the other 3 characters are well handled the training sessions start well but then the writer goes slow and start showing romance, comedy more But Akki's sixth sense scenes are well handled The entire bank robbery is too childish though, the handling is damn weak The script has some flaws like the romance between Arjun and Sushmita, Sushmita forgetting her brother and also Bachchan's track gets sidelined too often The second half gets too slow paced too but then towards the climax things get better like Amitabh confronting Akshay and Arjun and then the entire Amitabh- Arjun- Akshay clash towards the climax But the climax in Hindi version is too lame and childishVipul Shah makes a nice debut and handles several scenes well but his screenplay lets him down at places Music seems forced, but some songs are nice like Phatela JebAmitabh steals the show, Having played negative roles in PARWANA, DON.etc Here the actor seems totally charged and gives one of the best performances of his career His expressions, evil look all are fantastic Akshay too seems great in his role and his sixth sense scenes are wonderful Arjun seems too uncomfortable in his role though Sushmita Sen is excellent, Paresh Rawal entertains but does overact at places and get too loud Aditya Panscholi is alright in his part

this movie is indeed a movie that isn't quite a regular bollywood fare. It is a very well made movie with EXCELLENT performances from each of the cast.the only place the movie lacked was in certain applications of scenes where much more care was needed,....also where in the world does a bank have a skateboard left in the middle of its hall?.....but apart from few glitches and certain lapses that occurred to indianize the movie.....the rest was impressively done. the previous reviewer certainly was out of his mind when he said that making top stories and screenplays was beyond bollywood writes/directors......bollywood has churned out the best of the movies ......its just that the western audience cannot connect to certain things which they don't see in their society.our dear friend seems to childishly adore their out of the world,out of the mind movies. anyways, AANKHEN has been inspired by an English movie but still has its original values....specially the drama scenes where the 3 protagonists connect with each other. This movie has been highly underrated,and deserves a viewing at least to appreciate its plot and performances..... P.S:- Paresh rawal was at his very best and his performance is a major thing to watch in this movie.

A surprisingly good offering from Bollywood. A bank robbery is planned by a disgruntled ex-employee who is upset because he was fired. The plan involves recruiting 3 blind people, training them, etc. The goal, of course, is to rob the bank while making all the witnesses believe that the perpetrators were not blind. If they are caught, who would believe that they were the thieves, right ? But, twists, double crosses and love-twists abound. Understandably, filming such an intricate plot elegantly is beyond Bollywood writers/directors. The plot gets somewhat flimsy at places, where the director tries to forcibly insert some bollywood-ese sections. On the whole, a worthwhile film to watch. Amitabh shines. Paresh Rawal's melodrama is painful to watch. One gets the idea that this was an attempted copy of some Hollywood film.
