Synopsis : First time director Vipul
Shah’s action thriller “Aankhen” is a gritty flick starring Amitabh
Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal and the multi-faceted Paresh
Rawal. The film, produced by Gaurang Doshi has the dusky Sushmita
Sen playing the female lead and the sultry siren Bipasha Basu in a
special appearance.
“Aankhen” has Big B playing the role of a
bank manager Vijay Singh Rajput. Rajput is very punctilious about
his work and is held in high esteem by his superiors for his
impeccable record and his unfailing honesty. But, sometimes too much
loyalty could mean trouble.
Vijay Singh Rajput gets into
unwanted trouble when he discovers one of the bank employees duping
the clients and embezzling money. Infuriated Rajput goes a little
too berserk in teaching his corrupt colleague a lesson or two. And
he faces the music too. So much that his loose temper gets on his
superior’s nerves and he is sacked from his job.
Rajput
can’t believe that the Bank can treat him like trash in spite of his
years of service and excellent track record. In order to avenge the
board of directors he hatches an intelligent plan to rob the bank.
Having been a part of the bank for so long he knows well the
loopholes and the pitfalls.
To break into the bank, to rob
it and getaway with the loot he teams up with three men Vishwas
Prajapati (Akshay Kumar), Arjun Verma (Arjun Rampal) and Ilias
(Paresh Rawal). But there is an interesting twist here. These three
men are blind!
The eldest of the three is Ilias, who apart
from being their leader is also a jovial character and seems to have
flair for some spine-tickling humor. Vishwas, on the other hand, is
shapely youth with nimble command over Ju- Jitsu. And Arjun is a
typical cool dude. It’s an ideal team. Also part of this gang is the
suave Neha (Sushmita Sen) who is a teacher by profession.
Now the question is – Is Rajput’s decision to choose the
visually impaired people as his accomplices in robbing the bank a
wise one? Will he succeed or will he be caught? The consequences
could be as severe as great the reward could be! But Rajput is
willing to walk the tight
rope. |
