Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

gurdeepmann59 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

G Singh When David Dhawan started his career, he had a few ups and downs...well mostly downs. His first 4 films bombed but he gave 2 hits in Shola Aur Shabnam and Bol Radha Bol. However, his first monster hit came in Aankhen.Hasmukh Rai is a very wealthy man but is always upset with his buffoon sons, Munnu and Bunnu. (Chunkey Pandey-Govinda) The boys are good hearted but big troublemakers. They are spoiled brats who see the dark side of life when they witness a shootout. A shootout they have nothing to do with but a shootout that changes their lives.Aankhen is a film that works with an interesting plot but scores due to other things working out more than the plot. The comedy in the first half and parts of the second half is still memorable to me. The chemistry of the two lead actors is first rate. Not to forget their chemistry with Kader Khan. There is even more comedy with a twist in the second half.Also, the sequences featuring a minor love triangle between Kader Khan, Bindu and Saadishiv (Pyare Mohan) is thoroughly enjoyable. Not to forget the double role portions.Flaws? The film does dip in pace a bit in the second half.Music is fantastic. Love all the songs.David Dhawan's direction is excellent. One of his best works.The film belongs to Govinda and Chunkey Pandey. Especially Govinda in the second half. They make Aankhen what it is. Kader Khan is as always, fab! The villains in the movie are awesome. Shakti Kapoor, Gulshan Grover and Raj Babbar are perfect.Rest of the cast is great.Overall - A film that never bores you when its on and one of the David Dhawan's most underrated flicks. Superb!

sharankandhai This movie has a lot of firsts. Although David Dhawan and Govinda had worked together before this was the first comedy the 2 made together which would be followed by all those hits. This was the first (and it happened only once more) that the competitors of those days Govinda and Chunky came together in a movie. Of course Govinda ate Chunky alive in his dual role. Finally this is one of the first times that a remake is actually better than the original which is a classic itself. AANKHEN is a remake of S. Raamanathan's DO PHOOL with Mahmood in Govinda's role and Vinod Mehra in Chunky's role. The heroine of the movie was Anjana Mumtaz, nowadays better known as the screenmother of Akshay Kumar. Kadar Khan in a dual role is also good as usual but (except for Govinda of course) the best in the movie is Sadashiv Amrapurkar in his FIRST comedy role. Raj Babbar is oke and Ritu Shivpuri (daughter of Om Shivpuri) is watchable. From the heroines Shilpa Shirodkar is the best. With the hitsongs LAL DUPATTE WALI AND ANGANA MEIN BABA

Vishal Agrawal 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.
