IMDb saves a few people.

Warning: Spoilers
Usually, I can trust this website to have complete information on most things. In this case, however, IMDb seems to have nothing on this particular movie – which is a blessing in disguise for the makers of the movie, because it saves them some embarrassment. However, I am here to spoil all that.

About a month ago, my wife and I decided to boycott partying every weekend and made our way to the cinema to watch the latest Hindi release "Teesri Aankh – The Hidden Camera". Since then, we have continued our partying ways.

I visited this website the next morning to write my comments on the movie but could find no trace of this movie ever existing, until now, so I am here to write some comments.

Teesri Aankh is an absolutely pathetic venture by loser director HARRY BAWEJA, where he pretends to expose the horrible effects experienced by women that get trapped in the porn ring. That's just an excuse to make this movie a flesh-fest, with clichéd dialogs and situations. Our cast is headed by Mr. Beef himself, SUNNY DEOL and his two leading ladies are AMISHA PATEL and NEHA DHUPIA. The former, as we have seen time and again, most notably in Mangal Pandey, has run out of reasons to continue in this industry. Whats makes it worse is that she's actually given a meaty role of a mute. The silver lining is that you don't hear her voice at all. But even her sign language is so annoying, you just want to tie her arms up. Our second leading lady is more of an extended special appearance, and her character is too dumb to understand that her 2 male agents (she plays a model) that are continuously ogling at her and looking up her skirt and down her bra, are eventually going to want to rape her.

So she dies since her purity is so important to her, and her boyfriend Deol goes to London in search of her. He meets our mute friend who falls in love with him and helps him pursue his girlfriend's killers. So, most of the movie is shot in London, you would think. Ha! Every third scene takes the viewers to one of our characters (vile villains included) to a shot of them walking across Oxford street. And that's it. Even though the entire movie is supposedly taking place in London, the shooting isn't. Okay, maybe budgets were low, but could they have at least made the effort to make the place look like London.

There's a fight scene in the night on an empty road, where Deol is smashing one of the sidey's head on a bus, and not only did they have an old, beat-up, Indian brand bus parked there, but it actually has yellow chameli garlands hanging in the windshield! Viewing of this movie can result in serious mental doubts about the state of Indian Cinema, so my advice is avoid unless your life depends on it. If you do watch it, and do survive the first half, my guess is the second will kill you. There's actually a scene where a villain across the road is running towards Sunny with a gun, and Sunny, seeing a nearby 4WD parked, kicks the car (YES – like a football, causing it to fly), which hits the villain who goes flying away. Wow, that is how you must take care of villains!

You will have more fun tying and untying your shoe laces for 3 hours.
