Review of Aankhen

Aankhen (2002)
9/10
Dangerously Dark- Aankhen is brilliant!
16 October 2006
What happens when a psychopathic Bank Manager is expelled from the Bank for having beaten up an accountant almost to death for stealing 1000 bucks? Revenge is the answer... when all the man has done his entire life is look after the Bank, like his baby.... day and night... not even getting married for that sake... However, when he gets expelled... not seeing his own faults... he feels cheated and betrayed! He promises himself that he will take his revenge...

Then comes the twist. The man plans a bank robbery where three blind men will be used by him for his purpose... to train these men, Sushmita Sen is employed and does she have a choice when he little brother has been kidnapped by this man? A dangerous game is about to begin! Aankhen is truly a masterpiece... The direction is almost flawless and the thrill of the movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. Bachchan shines as the evil man... Sushmita Sen gives a very mature performance... Akshay gives one of his career best.... Rampal looks good and Rawal gives one of his career best too! Aditya Pancholi is competent.

The music by Jatin Lalit is great with "Aankhen", "Kuch Kasmein Hain Jawaan", "Phatela Jeb" and "Challka Challka" all being great numbers.

The ending did get a bit confusing but now that they've announced there'll be a sequel, I guess its started to make sense... Here's looking forward to Aankhen 2!
