The wait is finally over! The trailer of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, starring Vikrant Massey and debutante Shanaya Kapoor, has officially dropped—and it’s already tugging at heartstrings.
A Unique Love Story Unfolds
Directed by Santosh Singh, the film introduces a tender romance between two visually impaired artists. Shanaya plays Saba, a passionate theatre performer, while Vikrant steps into the shoes of Jahaan, a soulful blind musician. Their paths cross unexpectedly, and what begins as a chance encounter soon blossoms into a deep emotional connection.
Inspired by Ruskin Bond’s short story The Eyes Have It, the film explores love through a lens rarely seen in mainstream cinema. The trailer beautifully captures the vulnerability and strength of its characters, ending on a suspenseful note that leaves viewers yearning for more.
Shanaya’s Emotional Debut
Marking her silver screen debut, Shanaya Kapoor delivers a performance that’s both delicate and determined. In her own words, the experience was “the most beautiful and challenging” of her life. She expressed immense gratitude for working alongside Vikrant Massey, calling him a “supportive co-star” and praising director Santosh Singh for his clarity and compassion on set.
Moreover, Shanaya described the film as an “emotional journey,” one that will always remain close to her heart. Her parents, Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor, were visibly emotional at the trailer launch, beaming with pride as they witnessed her big moment.
Vikrant Massey Shines Again
Vikrant Massey, known for his nuanced performances, brings quiet intensity to the role of Jahaan. His chemistry with Shanaya is palpable, and together they create a world that feels both intimate and immersive. With Vishal Mishra’s hauntingly beautiful score in the background, the trailer evokes a sense of longing that lingers long after it ends.
Produced by Mansi Bagla, Varun Bagla, and Open Window Films, the film also features Zain Khan Durrani in a pivotal role. The music, composed and sung by Vishal Mishra, adds emotional depth to the narrative, enhancing every frame with lyrical grace. Zee Studios, while sharing the trailer, aptly wrote: “In a world full of perfect love stories, @shanayakapoor02 and @vikrantmassey are bringing you one filled with Gustaakhiyan.”
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is set to release in theatres on July 11, just in time to stir hearts this monsoon. With its fresh pairing, emotional storytelling, and soulful music, the film promises to be a memorable cinematic experience.
