When they actually confront the boy, to Babuji he seems like a very nice person. This event radically changes his life amp he decides that he will believe only what he is able to see, hence the title of the film Ankhon Dekhi. Over a period of time he refuses to worship god amp treats prasad as just another sweet. He is working as a travel agent amp refuses to book tickets to Amsterdam since he has not seen Amsterdam. To uphold his ideals he quits his job. He resorts to a very idealistic mode amp takes things to extreme levels to explore his theory. At first his neighbours consider him a lunatic old man, but over a period of time they start admiring his logical reasoning amp start blindly following him.Once while intervening a petty loan issue with a loan shark he refuses to believe the bad reputation of the loan shark. He concludes that he is a good person, based on his observation. Over a period of time he forms a rapport with the loan shark amp is recruited by him in his illegal gambling den. His followers also start. He gives consent to his daughters marriage to the boy she loves amp almost sorts out all the emotional issues with his estranged brother. Now free from all responsibility, he leads a life where there are almost no blind spots and a lot of clarity in his life and he takes his wife for a vacation. While chatting he narrates to his wife that he feels very light, just like a bird flying in free skies. His wife jokes about his experience, inadvertently challenging his own theory that he doesnt know how a bird actually flies. In the middle of the night he walks towards the cliff amp we see Babuji narrating his dream which we had seen in the beginning. Now that he has experienced everything, he is yet to experience flying. As the film ends, Bauji can be seen flying down a cliff. ........
