Teesri Aankh directed by Harry Baweja, is a thriller, but the film does not have ample thrilling moments to keep you glued to the screen.
Sapna (Neha Dhupia) is an ambitious young girl, engaged to super cop ACP Arjun Singh (Sunny Deol), who takes off to participate in a beauty contest but is also naïve enough to fall prey to Sadanadh Pandey, the guy who controls the blue film racket in India from London.
Playing supporting villains are small-timers Danish and Danish, who while playing second fiddle to Pandey, also dream of ruling the racket themselves.
The duo convinces Sapna to accumulate recorded proof against Pandey in return for her own film.
Though Sapna’s clever enough to manage that, all she gets as a reward is death.
The witness to all this is Ammu (Ameesha Patel) who is speech-impaired. Here begins Ammu’s struggle for survival, as everybody assumes she’s got proof against Pandey. Then arrives ACP Arjun Singh, the saviour. Arjun’s search for his fiancée lead him to Ammu.
Teesri Aankh suffers largely due to a weak screenplay. Although the film had the potential to be a taut thriller, the 2nd half of the film ruins the impact of an interesting plot.From the script point of view, there are many loopholes.
In the pre-climax, the focus shifts to the London and the goings-on get interesting. . But the finale is an absolute letdown. The ending not only looks amateurish, but also abrupt.
On the +ve side, director has handled a few sequences with finesse. The sequences between Amisha and villians are noteworthy. Music is plain mediocre. Cinematography is of standard. Dialogues are alright.
Sunny is mediocre, mainly because the role doesn’t offer him ample scope to prove his mettle.Amisha is plain average. Neha is passable. Mukesh Rishi tends to go overboard. Arti doesn’t get much scope Ashish provides some light moments with natural ease. Murli Sharma is first-rate. Ayub Khan and Mukesh Tiwari are as usual.To sum up Teesri Aankh lacks in merits to leave an impression.
