Aankhen
Aankhen is a 2002 Indian Hindi-language heist thriller film directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah, starring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Sushmita Sen, Paresh Rawal and Aditya Pancholi. The film is an adaptation of Shah's own Gujarati stage play Andhalo Pato (Blindman's Buff).
Plot
Obsessive, temperamental, and schizophrenic bank manager Vijay Singh Rajput loses his job for badly beating up a bank clerk who tried to embezzle money. Enraged at losing his job, he plots revenge on the bank by intending to stage a heist. He employs three blind men. Vishwas, a person who, after becoming blind in an accident, gains a powerful sixth sense, and Ellyaas and Arjun when, after passing by school for the blind, he understands that blind people can be trained to do things like sighted people. He blackmails and enlists the help of Neha, who is a teacher at the school, to train the trio to do the seemingly impossible heist. He chooses blind people because they, as thieves, would never be suspected, as no one would believe blind people can rob a bank.
