The much-anticipated trailer of Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan, starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, has finally been released, offering a glimpse into a poignant love story filled with warmth, quirky moments, and emotional turmoil. Directed by Santosh Singh, the film is an adaptation of Ruskin Bond’s celebrated short story The Eyes Have It.
The trailer opens with an intriguing scene where Shanaya Kapoor’s character slaps Vikrant Massey, prompting a light-hearted exchange that sets the tone for their complex relationship. From there, viewers see the pair sharing joyful moments — traveling by train, singing together, and bonding over spontaneous adventures. The playful banter between them highlights their chemistry, as Vikrant questions, “What is madness, madam? The thing that people don’t understand is madness.”
A particularly charming scene shows Vikrant climbing stairs while Shanaya waits below. When Vikrant’s towel accidentally falls onto Shanaya, the ensuing dialogue captures the film’s blend of humor and subtle romance: Vikrant feigns innocence, and Shanaya teasingly retorts, “I can open my eyes if I want.” The exchange culminates in Shanaya’s confident declaration, “I don’t need excuses to come near. I take what I want.”
In the film, Shanaya Kapoor plays a spirited theater artist, while Vikrant Massey portrays a blind musician, a role that brings depth and sensitivity to the narrative. The story explores their journey from friendship to love and eventually, the bitterness that threatens to pull them apart.
Set against a backdrop of evocative emotions, Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan promises to be a heartfelt exploration of connection, vulnerability, and the complexities of human relationships.
The film is scheduled to release in theaters on July 11, 2025. Fans of Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, as well as admirers of Ruskin Bond’s storytelling, can look forward to this visually and emotionally compelling cinematic experience.
