Avoidable!!!. Review on Teesri Aankh - The Hidden Camera

ACP Arjun Singh (Sunny Deol) is cracking down on a pornographic racket run by Sudama Pandey (Mukesh Rishi) from London. On the other hand, Sudama’s henchmen Dinesh (Mukesh Tiwari) and Dinesh (Murli Sharma) trap Arjun’s fiancé Sapna (Neha Dhupia) into their net.

Sapna wants to break free but is subsequently killed. Ammu (Amisha Patel), a mute girl, witnesses the murder and becomes the next target of the villains. Just in the nick of time, Ammu’s sister comes to her rescue.

In the meantime Sunny Deol, who is searching for a lead to bust the porn racket, miraculously discovers Ammu’s whereabouts. What happens thereafter is pretty predictable. Arjun Singh breathes fire, bays for the baddies’ blood and obviously emerges triumphant in the end.

Although Teesri Aankh has an interesting storyline, it suffers on account of a hackneyed screenplay. In fact, a similar story was witnessed in kalyug not too long ago. A story like this may've worked a few years ago, but it holds minimal appeal in the current scenario.The film starts off pretty well, but runs out of steam in the second half. That's mainly because too many songs have been incorporated in this half, which also come in very quick succession and seem forced in the goings-on.

From the script point of view, Amisha's role is under-developed. The presence of Ashish-Arti in her life does not come across effectively.Right through the second half, the film does not strike a chord. Even the climax is long-drawn and not half as impactful as one would've expected it to be.

Director has handled a few sequences with flourish. But he is letdown by a script that looks implausible and far-fetched at most times. Moreover, due to the sluggish pace the film moves at, boredom sets in after a point of time.

The biggest culprit is its screenplay, which does not boast of moments that would keep the audience interest alive. In fact, it's a screenplay of convenience.

Music is quite okay, although the placement of songs is improper. In fact, the film can easily do without a couple of songs in the second half. However, 'Titliyan' is the pick of the lot. Cinematography is fair. The outdoor locales of London appeal in tit and bits.

Although it is meant to be a special appearance, Sunny is present throughout the film.Amisha does her part efficiently.The remaining cast has been used as mere props.

On the whole, Teesri Aankh is too ordinary a product that doesn't have much to offer in terms of content.
