Summary

Aankhen is a heist movie based on a Gujarati play by Andhalo Pato revolving around a bizarre premise of bank robbery committed by three blind men.

An obsessive temperamental bank manager loses his job after a shocking and brutal attack on a bank clerk who tried to embezzle money. Angered at losing his job he plots revenge on the bank by intending to stage a heist. He decides to employ three blind men after passing by a blind school and enlists the teacher of the blind school to teach the trio.

Reception

The movie was a commercial as well as a critical hit with Amitabh Bachchan's performance receiving particular praise. The movie was also something of a departure for him as he played a rare villainous role. The role of the supporting cast was also well received.

The movie however was criticized for its improbable premise and heavy plot holes. Ironically, two years after this movie a group of thieves staged a bank heist in the same way potrayed in the film.
