Parduman Randhawa (son of Dara Singh).Akram.The question remains what will happen to Babloo, Diwan, and the rest of the concerned citizens, especially when they have become vulnerable due to Madame's presence in their very household. Then Diwan's world is shattered when Meenakshi telephonically informs him that Sunil has been killed. Soon Syed and his associates, including Doctor X and Captain, find out all secrets of Mehra, as a result of which Sunil is trapped and held by Syed. The terrorists are headed by a man named Syed, who deputes one of his assistants, Madame, to spy on Sunil's dad, Diwan Chand Mehra, by posing as Mehra's daughter's aunt, forcing her to obey by abducting her son, Babloo, and holding him captive. Once there, he meets a former flame, Meenakshi Mehta, and a female admirer by the name of Zenab. Now Sunil Mehra( Dharmendra) must travel to Beirut and take over. While Salim is already at work in Beirut, his cover is blown, and he is shot dead. A group of concerned citizens, who are not connected with the government, decide to do something to stop this carnage.
Shortly after independence, India faces terrorists attacks in Assam, resulting in many deaths and casualties. This film won Ramanand Sagar his only Filmfare award for Best Director.
With the success of Phool Aur Paththar, Sagar decided to increase his budget and finalize Dharmendra as the leading man. But the director Ramanand Sagar had apprehensions of casting him since he was considered raw and was not yet a star therefore, he recruited a huge star of the period, Mala Sinha, opposite him for marketing considerations. It was initially planned to be shot when Dharmendra had just one film. Īnkhen is considered to be a pioneer in Hindi spy films. It was estimated to be the most profitable Indian film of 1968 in India. The film stars Mala Sinha, Dharmendra, Mehmood, Lalita Pawar, Jeevan and Madan Puri. This was the first Hindi film shot in Beirut. After the surprise big hit of Farz as a spy thriller, Sagar came out with a bigger budget film in the same genre, shot in many international locations. The saving graces were performances by Tarun Khanna who plays Vikram (appealing), Badrul Islam who plays Betaal (excellent) and Vishnu Sharma who plays Bhadrakaal (just right) and the less frequent ads in between the show.Ankhen ( The Eyes) is a 1968 Hindi spy thriller produced and directed by Ramanand Sagar. For instance in a scene in which a sangeet sabha is on, the jaltarang wasn’t visible but one could hear it with the tabla and the tabla players who were on the screen. Even the make-up for the characters can be worked upon a little bit.įiner details need to be checked. Words like apitu, adbhut and sahayata may not register in a young mind. The chastity of the language is a little high for a Gen Next audience. the vultures seem too animated to digest. The VFX is jarring in a lot of places like the scene in which the papayas gifted to Vikram by Bhadrakaal start shining and also in the scene where Vikramaditya enters the cave where Betaal lives. needless to say that it already is much better than the 24-year-old original but there’s a long way to go. The visual effects can be notches better than this. Maybe the idea was to go slow on the story telling but it doesn’t appeal to a young and restless viewer who wants everything fast-paced. something that could be packed in half an hour or less. The episode dragged for an hour on creating the backdrops for Vikram and Betaal. The first episode of the new and improved Kahaniyaan Vikram aur Betaal Ki could easily have been a little more racy. So maybe, even the style of story telling has to change.
