 "'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' Trailer Review: Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor create old-world charm in a romance filed with passion and ache")
Vikrant Massey cannot see. Shanaya Kapoor doesn’t want to see. This is what one can gather from the trailer of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan. The title is not just an ode to the 1999 song, but today’s idea of love too. It’s a film that tries to make a space for itself in a landscape suffocated by gore.
Bringing a fresh wave of romantic musical is the dynamic actor Vikrant and debutant Shanaya, who weave a tale of emotions, and showcase the warmth of first chance encounters, the innocence of falling in love, facing betrayal and heartbreak, but overall, coming back to each other as a part of their destiny’s plan!

Vikrant surprises everyone by stepping into a whole new romantic territory by essaying a challenging role, and Shanaya looks equally confident despite making her Bollywood debut.
