A Teaser That Feels Like a Love Letter
The 58-second teaser of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is like flipping through the pages of a worn-out diary filled with poetry longing and raw emotion. Set against a dreamy monsoon backdrop it introduces us to a tender love story that blooms from a chance encounter. Shanaya playing a visually impaired theater artist and Vikrant as a blind musician weave a tale of connection that doesn’t rely on grand gestures but thrives in silent glances and soulful music. The teaser’s vibe? Think rainy evenings whispered promises and a love that feels both timeless and fragile.
From blindfolded dances to quiet strolls through misty hills every frame screams cinematic poetry. And that final line from Vikrant’s character—“Love is blind”—hits you right in the feels leaving you curious for more. It’s not just a teaser; it’s an invitation to fall in love with their story.
Shanaya Kapoor: A Star is Born
Shanaya Kapoor the daughter of Sanjay and Maheep Kapoor has been on Bollywood’s radar for a while but Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan marks her grand entry. And boy does she deliver! Her natural screen presence and raw understated charm shine through proving she’s more than just a star kid. Playing a character that’s vibrant yet vulnerable Shanaya brings a fresh energy that’s both relatable and captivating. Fans on social media are already raving with one calling her “a beautiful debutant” and another predicting she’s “going to kill it.”
Her journey to this moment wasn’t without hurdles. Initially set to debut with Karan Johar’s Bedhadak which got shelved, Shanaya faced delays but kept her focus. She even worked as an assistant director on Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl showing her dedication to the craft. Now with Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan she’s ready to carve her own path and the teaser is proof she’s here to stay.
Vikrant Massey: The Heartbeat of the Story
Let’s talk about Vikrant Massey who’s practically Bollywood’s secret weapon. Known for his ability to slip into any role with ease—whether it’s the soft-spoken Shutu in A Death in the Gunj or the chilling Prem Singh in Sector 36—Vikrant brings emotional depth to this romantic lead. His portrayal of a blind musician is layered with vulnerability and quiet strength making him the perfect foil to Shanaya’s spirited theater artist. Their chemistry? Electric. It’s like watching two souls find each other in a crowded world and fans are already calling it “magical.”
Vishal Mishra’s Music: The Soul of the Film
No romantic drama is complete without a killer soundtrack and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan delivers big time. Composed by Vishal Mishra (yes the genius behind Pehle Bhi Main from Animal) the music is already being hailed as the emotional backbone of the film. The teaser’s soulful score sets the mood perfectly blending romance with a hint of melancholy. Fans are buzzing about how the music elevates every scene making it “a treat for both the eyes and ears.”
Why the Internet is Obsessed
The teaser dropped on June 5 2025 and social media exploded with love. Shanaya’s family and friends including Navya Nanda (“Wohoooo Shan!!!”) and her dad Sanjay Kapoor (“Jai Mata Di”) couldn’t contain their excitement. Fans are equally hyped with comments like “This teaser is gorgeous” and “Vikrant and Shanaya’s charm is unreal.” Some even speculated about the blindfold motif wondering if it’s a nod to the film’s title or a deeper metaphor for love’s unpredictability.
The first poster featuring Shanaya in a striking red dress and Vikrant in a rugged jacket set the tone for a carnival-like romance that’s both whimsical and heartfelt. Shot in stunning locations like Mumbai Mussoorie and Azerbaijan the film’s visual palette is as captivating as its story.
