Truth- it may mean something for me, while for you it could be totally something else. It is like one man’s freedom fighter is other man’s terrorist. We all have our bias, prejudices and our truth is based on the prism of our experiences. Ankhon Dekhi is one such film, which explores the travails of a man who has to unlearn and look at his ideology towards end of his life.

As he lapses into silence, the whole scene empties out of sound. There’s a silence which is both dramatic and beautiful. Rajat Kapoor’s “Ankhon Dekhi” is like that moment of silence; poignant, deep and astonishingly beautiful.Continue reading “Ankhon Dekhi (2014) Movie Review: A Poignant Flight”
