🌸 Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (2025) Review: A Visual Poem That Speaks Through Silence
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (2025) isn’t your regular Bollywood love story. It's a gentle, poetic romance that flows more with feelings than flashy dialogues. Starring Vikrant Massey and debutante Shanaya Kapoor, this film dares to slow down and speak through glances, music, and misty silence — just like the eyes do.
🎠The Story Feels Like a Whisper
Inspired by Ruskin Bond’s short story The Eyes Have It, the film follows Jahaan, a visually impaired musician, and Saba, a theatre artist hiding her own truth. Their connection grows during a train journey — with no typical romantic drama, just soft moments and quiet understanding.
🌟 Vikrant Massey Shines Again
Once again, Vikrant Massey proves why he’s the master of soulful characters. His portrayal of Jahaan is deeply touching, subtle, and grounded. He doesn’t overact — he lets you feel his pain and charm through small gestures.
✨ Shanaya Kapoor's Debut: A Soft Start with Promise
All eyes were on Shanaya Kapoor, and while she's not perfect, she does surprise many. Her expressions, especially in the song “Nazara”, are being praised for their honesty. She brings a soft vulnerability that works well for the role — and that’s saying a lot for a debut.
🎵 Music & Vibes: A Dreamy Playlist in Motion
From Alvida to Nazara, the music in this film is its heartbeat. Vishal Mishra’s compositions are slow, haunting, and filled with longing. Combined with breathtaking visuals of train journeys and foggy hills, the film gives major Tum Mile x Lootera x Barfi vibes.
⚖️ Not for Everyone... And That’s Okay
Let’s be real — this film isn’t fast-paced or packed with drama. If you love slow-burn love stories, rich cinematography, and stories where silence says it all, you’ll connect deeply. But if you're expecting full-on Bollywood masala, this one might feel too slow or “arty.”
📱 Final Thoughts: Watch It With an Open Heart
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan may not be a blockbuster, but it’s one of those films that touches a quiet part of you — the part that believes in love without words. Vikrant is excellent, Shanaya is promising, and the film? It’s a visual poem you’ll remember… even if just for a moment.
