Awesome Movie

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Aankhen features Hasmukh Rai (Kader Khan), who sons Munnu (Chunkey Pandey) and Bunnu (Govinda) are spoilt, irresponsible youngsters whose only aim in life is to have fun at all costs. In the meanwhile Natwar Shah (Gulshan Grover) is a share broker who is behind bars for masterminding a massive stock market scam. Natwar's brother (the late Mahavir Shah) hires a gangster called Tejeshwar Singh (Shakti Kapoor) to help remove Natwar from jail and smuggle him abroad.Munnu and Bunnu inadvertently find themselves entangled in the crosshairs of a diabolical conspiracy to replace the existing state chief minister (Raj Babbar) with his lookalike, who happens to be a member of Tejeshwar's gang. Their misadventure ends with Bunnu gone missing and all evidence pointing towards Munnu, even as the plan to replace the chief minister comes off.Can the brother get to the bottom of it? Will they manage to thwart Tejeshwar and co? Will Natwar manage to escape the long arm of the law, or will justice catch up with him?Unlike what the synopsis above might suggest, Aankhen is a comedy movie that never takes itself seriously. The performances are brilliant across the board, not least those of Govinda and veteran actor Sasadhiv Amrapurkar. There's also the small matter of 3 different characters having a doppelgänger- highly unusual even in a David Dhawan movie.The highest grosser of 1993, Aankhen is a brainless caper which keeps you entertained from the first scene to the last. Leave your brains behind and watch this movie- its a hilarious little caper.

This film is a remake of DO PHOOL (1973)Hasmukh Rai has two buffoon sons named Munnu and Bunnu The sons discover a plot to replace the Chief Minister with a fake one Govinda's comedy is awesome which is what dominates the second half of the film The first half of the film is pure comedy with Govinda and Chunky but a twist in the angle is what makes the film goodGovinda and Chunky Pandey are brilliant and their chemistry is what makes Aankhen what it is Their chemistry with Kader Khan is amazing The villains are good Shakti Kapoor, Gulshan Grover and Raj Babbar are brilliant

1993's Biggest Box Office Hit, 'Aankhen' is a Superb film! Though I had seen it ages back, but, even today, the film manages to hold my attention. David Dhawan directs this Out-And-Out Time-Pass fare nicely, while the performances are memorable.'Aankhen' tells the story of Two wealthy good-for-nothing kids, Munnu and Bunnu, played by Govinda & Chunky Pandey, who, get involved in a conspiracy to replace a Chief Minister with a lookalike by some corrupt government officials.It's an entertaining film. In fact, the first hour is full of hilarious moments. The second hour becomes intense, but the interest remains alive in it's viewer. David Dhawan knows his job, and he proves it once again. Music by the legendary Bappi Lahiri, is foot-tapping.Performance-Wise: Govinda is absolutely fantastic. He plays both the roles with unseen ease. Chunky Pandey does a good job. Raj Babbar is excellent. Kader Khan, Bindu & Sadashiv Amrapurkar, stand out. Shakti Kapoor shines. Gulshan Grover leaves a mark. Shilpa Shirodkar, Raageshwari & Ritu Shivpuri are passable.On the whole, A Must Watch for those who enjoy Entertaining Cinema, where anything can happen. Two Thumbs Up!

This is the best David Dhawan film. There are various reason but the best of course is the speed of the film. It just starts and ends. No breaks, no jerks, nothing. A total roller-coaster. A bank robbery, to Desh-Bhakti, to cheap pelvic motions, to high class editing, to great acting, to interesting twists and turns filled with loud laughters. It has everything. For those who came in late 'Ankhein' is still in the top 10 biggest grocers Indian film Indutry ever made.Although every one has performed really well including Chunky Pandey but this is a David Dhawan film. I saw 'Shola or Shabnam' and liked it but 'Ankhein' established David Dhawan as a director with peculiar sense of humor for me. Which again became evident in another fantastic film 'Coolie no 1'. Scene where villager Govinda meets urban Kader Khan is a class of its own. The way Kader Khan says "Handiya Main Kya Pak Raha Tha Gadhey?". Its damn funny.Repeat value of the film is not very high because its very long but I watched many scenes fast forwarding here and there for a long time. my favorite scene is 'Kaun Dega Qurbani' and college principal scene. Govinda is unbeatable and undoubtedly better than Bachchan in some ways. 9/10.
