User Reviews

An exciting movie filled with many twists and turns.

Aankhen is an Indian movie, the story tells of how three blind men rob a bank.The movie was absolutely fantastic.It had a lot of twists and turns along the way, and kept viewers on the edge of their seat never knowing what was going to occur next.

Vipal Shah did a great job directing this movie.The story was simple, yet how it was told was nicely done.Each character had an interesting story of how he lost his sight.

Great music, an exciting story, and great acting makes this a must see for people who understand Hindi and foreign movie lovers alike.
