Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan

Starting was so great, at all time it seemed everything perfect Vikrant's acting, Shanaya's emotions and the script the train journey which all of us imagines. After the interval, that after 3 years part it was hard to connect suddenly from that beautiful love journey. Seems like writer wasn't paid for after the interval script. It is a beautiful movie definetly that's why I've rated 8, but it deserved 10. No matter how it performed the box office, I rarely like movies even the so called blockbuster one's seems dull and unnecessary. But this is definitely a beautiful movie to watch, but hard to connect in the ending. So all could I say acting was fabulous, the ending script is also good, but it must match or be more than the beauty of the start.

"Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan" completely won my heart. Vikrant Massey was an absolute beast in this film - intense, powerful, and full of emotion. Every time he was on screen, he owned it. Shanaya Kapoor, on the other hand, was pure beauty - soft, charming, and full of grace. Together, they made a perfect pair. The story felt real, the emotions hit deep, and their chemistry was amazing. It truly felt like watching Beauty and the Beast - a mix of strength and softness, pain and love. I didn't want it to end. For me, this movie is a solid 10 out of 10!"

Great story and direction. The locations were great and it improved the watching experience. But the female lead actor needed to improve on her acting. Should have picked a different female lead actor. This Indian movie industry is turning out to be a family industry as lot of nepo kids are being hired without giving any chance to outsiders.

The film turned out to be a pleasant surprise. What I initially considered a casual time-pass viewing exceeded my expectations. With Vikrant Massey in the cast, one can usually trust the film to deliver quality, and he did not disappoint. However, the real surprise was Khushi Kapoor. At a time when many star kids are struggling to make a mark with unconvincing performances, Khushi stood out with a remarkably assured debut. She carried her role with sincerity and conviction, never once giving the impression that this was her first film. It's a one-time watch that manages to leave an impression, thanks to strong performances and moments that rise above the ordinary.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan offers a visually rich experience with soulful music, but falters where it matters most - emotional depth and storytelling finesse. Despite Vikrant Massey's impressive performance and Shanaya Kapoor's promising debut, the film never quite comes together as the emotionally stirring experience it wants to be.

Unfortunately, the screenplay becomes its biggest weakness. While the first half remains decent and watchable, the second half feels confusing and needlessly stretched. The cinematography is undeniably beautiful. Dialogues are generally well-written, often poetic, and resonate in quiet, reflective scenes.

Vikrant Massey, as expected, delivers a compelling performance. He grounds the film emotionally, even when the writing doesn't give him much to work with. Shanaya Kapoor makes a fair debut and there's an innocence and sincerity in her presence that holds promise. While the role doesn't challenge her much, she manages to leave an impression. Zain Khan Durrani and Saanand Verma were decent.
