Ankhon dekhi movie review

Directed by Rajat Kapoor, 'Ankhon Dekhi' is the simple story of an ordinary man. Bauji (Sanjay Mishra) leads a monotonous life in his small house in old Delhi till he is struck by a 'unique' thought one day. His life takes a turn when his daughter (Maya Sarao) falls in love with Ajju (Namit Das) and his family decides to threaten the 'wayward' boy in a bid to get him to leave her. Bauji realises that the boy is just the opposite of what his terrible reputation has made him out to be. After this incident, he decides to believe only those things that he has actually seen or experienced himself. This strange obsession costs him his job and creates a rift between him and his brother Rishi (Rajat Kapoor).
What works for 'Ankhon Dekhi' is its unabashed simplicity with no attempt at being preachy at any given point during the film. Bauji's story is so realistic that you immediately connect with his rather mundane and unglamorous life.
