Aankhen (2002)

In the heart of India's bustling finance industry, Vijay Singh Rajput (Amitabh Bachchan), a stern and idiosyncratic bank manager at Vilasrao Jefferson Bank, has spent three decades building a reputation of unyielding integrity. Revered by his superiors for his unblemished track record, Rajput runs a tight ship, pushing his employees to their limits and ensuring the bank's vault remains impenetrable. However, Vijay's world is upended when he discovers one of his own employees swindling customers. Incensed, he lashes out physically, a response that sends shockwaves through the bank's hierarchy. This outburst, seen as a liability, leads to his dismissal, leaving him seething with a potent blend of disbelief and vengeance. Fuelled by indignation, Vijay concocts an audacious plan not just to exact revenge but to strike the bank at its most vulnerable point: its safe, brimming with wealth. In a twist of irony, the ousted manager decides to become the bank's most formidable adversary. He enlists the help of Neha (Sushmita Sen), a professional trainer for the visually impaired, blackmailing her into aiding his grand scheme. Three blind men, Vishwas Prajapati (Akshay Kumar), Arjun Verma (Arjun Rampal), and Ilias (Paresh Rawal), are chosen as the unlikely team to execute this daring heist. With Neha's expert guidance and Vijay's intimate knowledge of the bank's inner workings, the trio undergo rigorous training, transforming into the perfect covert operatives. Against all odds, they successfully rob the bank, but their victory spirals into chaos. As they navigate their newfound wealth and the aftermath of their audacious crime, the question remains: What happens next? This tale of vengeance, irony, and relentless determination promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
