What do you get when Ramanand Sagar fly on James Bond? A 007 that does not smoke, is not disturbed about martinis – shaken, shaken or spoiled; And runs away from the grand women who killed it. In short, a Culture Detective – A Satyugi Incarnation of Kalyagi The secret agent of drinks, dames, temptations and destruction.
In ‘Ankhen’, the man who gave us two decades later after two decades, gives us Sunil (Dharmendra), who is a globe-trotting detective, who will not just cross Laxman Rekha dignityTwo beautiful women really stung her. But every time they nap with him, Culture Sunil gives them lectures CountryDuty and religion. No wonder that one of them prefers death for a detective company, who would not just shake a leg, unlike the bond avatar of the Mike Myers.
The ‘Ankhen’ is opposed to the Bond’s nocturnal Games. But not their diadent gadgets. Like arrows that kiss each other for the sound of snakes before falling into the ‘Ramayana’, the ocean actually added some tackle gadgets. One of them, like a compass, whenever around Sunil, is tu-tu-tu-tu. Another, a stethoscope clone, in Lebanon Hotel (above) removes bugs in liquor bottles. In a scene, the ocean defeats the future Tom Cruise with a mask that changes one Patriot In a traitor. Sadly that he did not apply for a patent – the revenue from the ‘Mission Impossible’ would have widen the ‘Ankhen’ of the ocean.
Ankhen’s script is both pretense and prediction. It has networks like a Kingsman of Saviers – retired INA officers in this case – are ready to get rid of their enemies.
The enemy is a curious herd. Head Dr. X is, life, which orders through the clande teeth and implicates a voice on the edges, suggests that he can benefit from a recipe of laxatives. Dr. X, who wear clothes like Hitler in Khaki and respond to Napoleon’s call sign, run a den in the north -east of India. Their goal: destabilize India for the benefit of you. (Indication: not Pakistan).
His most inauspicious assets are ‘Madam’, Lalita Pawar. In a scene, less pawar slices through a group of men, killing them with karate chops. For this run alone, ‘Anakhen’ deserves a rewind.
Culture Sunil is sent to Lebanon to find out who this mysterious doctor is X.
Work is a cinch. Everyone in Lebanon speaks Hindi, and two women, who are ready to help, to help the sweet knot in their disposal ears.
An irrational thing goes to another. And Culture Sunil completed his mission.
Hot Dharam serves cold
Through the halfway, you wonder why Dharmendra signed up. His Sunil enters a Jodhpuri coat, which looks like a groom PavilionNot a good detective. No Da-kilo Dialogue, no steam filled – just a yawning -utterance Sanskritism He leaves the hot dharam snow-tangle.
But Penny Drops: ‘Anakhen’ is not his film. This is Mala Sinha’s show. A box-office Titan in the late 60s, Sinha owns every frame.
He fits with the same nature of hairstyles, kimonos, sarees, skirts and Arab clothes. He stares Sunil through Japan to become one-his introduction, removes Ravi-Sahir’s songs in a dramatic plate of emotions, and guns the villains in the climax.
This is not just a detective saga – it is a feminist festival in which Sinha cleverly kicked conservatism because she does the villain.
Dharmendra gets his moment, though. In a scene made for him. Closed in a cage with a tiger, he does not just survive – – he is coming through bars and wrestling the animals, setting up templates for Bollywood’s Macho Shodown in the 70s, when there was heavy demand for tigers.
With your wild gagty Jugad‘Ankhen’ is a time journey for Bollywood of the 1960s – derogatory, earnest and irrationally entertaining. Rewind it for nostalgia, stay for one of the adventurers of one Culture The detective that makes 007 looks like a rebel without a reason, and women.
No alcohol, no woman, only CountryThis is ‘Ankhen’ for you.
