Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is a 2025 Hindi-language romantic drama directed by Santosh Singh and produced by Mansi and Varun Bagla under Zee Studios and Mini Films. Inspired by Ruskin Bond’s poignant short story The Eyes Have It, the film explores the delicate romance between two visually impaired individuals—Jahaan Bakshi, a passionate musician played by Vikrant Massey, and Saba Shergill, an aspiring theater artist portrayed by debutante Shanaya Kapoor.

Set against the scenic backdrops of Mussoorie and Mumbai, the story unfolds during a train journey where the protagonists’ lives intersect in unexpected ways. Their shared experiences of art, vulnerability, and perception form the emotional core of the narrative. The film delves into themes of inner vision, emotional connection, and the beauty of unseen bonds.

Cinematographer Tanveer Mir uses close-focus techniques to evoke sensory depth, while Vishal Mishra’s music adds a soulful layer to the storytelling. The film marks Massey’s return to romantic roles and introduces Shanaya Kapoor with a performance described as raw and fluid by the makers.

Scheduled for theatrical release on July 11, 2025, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan promises a tender, introspective love story that celebrates emotional resonance over spectacle.
