    What happens when a bank manager, pushed to the edge, decides he is going to rob his own bank using blind men as the thieves? Aankhen (2002) is exactly that kind of twisted, clever thriller. In this episode of The Watchlist with Jyotika, we dig into how Amitabh Bachchan, an obsessive, short-tempered manager, Vijay Singh Rajput, turns from keeper of order to mastermind of a heist.We’ll explore the unlikely team he assembles, three blind men trained to carry off the impossible and the moral chaos that follows. Add Sushmita Sen’s teacher torn between duty & desperation, and twists that lead to open vs. closed endings depending on where you watched the film. Based on the Gujarati play Andhalo Pato, Aankhen pushed boundaries in Bollywood’s heist genre. It’s suspense, betrayal, sympathy, and shock all rolled into one. Loved by many, debated by more, it’s a story that stays with you. Tune in as we unspool Aankhen’s secrets, the brilliant, the messy, and the moments you probably missed.

    Before Marvel, there was Ajooba! This week on The Watchlist with Jyotika, we’re diving into one of Amitabh Bachchan’s most ambitious and underrated roles, a fantasy adventure straight out of a desi fairy tale. Directed by Shashi Kapoor, Ajooba takes you to the mythical kingdom of Baharistan, where a masked hero fights evil, saves his people, and redefines what it means to be a legend. With capes, genies, magic carpets, and underwater kingdoms, Ajooba was Bollywood’s bold attempt to dream big, way before special effects caught up. And while it didn’t strike gold at the box office, it remains a cult gem for fans who love their cinema grand, experimental, and a little bit wild. So tune in as Jyotika unpacks the charm, chaos, and pure imagination of Ajooba, a reminder that even legends like Amitabh Bachchan have a few forgotten adventures worth rediscovering.
