MUMBAI: Produced by Mini Films and directed by Santosh Singh, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is a heartwarming romantic comedy that blends soulful emotion with playful charm. Inspired by Ruskin Bond’s The Eyes Have It, the film follows the tender and often humorous journey of Jahaan (Vikrant Massey), a gifted blind musician, and Saba (Shanaya Kapoor, in her debut), a spirited aspiring actress chasing her dreams. Their chance encounter on a train sparks an unexpected connection, one not built on sight, but on shared dreams, heartfelt moments, and a delightful push-and-pull chemistry that’s as funny as it is touching.
Set against a rich backdrop of music and ambition, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan explores how love transcends perception — celebrating the invisible bonds that tie us together. With Zain Khan Durrani in a pivotal supporting role, and a soul-stirring soundtrack by Vishal Mishra, featuring vocals by Vishal Mishra, Jubin Nautiyal and Asees Kaur, the film promises to resonate deeply with audiences. Set to premiere on ZEE5 on 5th September, this vibrant story invites you to experience love, laughter, and life’s surprises — all through the lens of its powerful message: Dil Se Dekho.
Kaveri Das, Business Head, Hindi ZEE5 said , “ At ZEE5, we’re committed to bringing emotionally rich and refreshingly unconventional stories to our audiences. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is a timely addition — a heartfelt rom-com that offers a fresh take on love and human connection. With Vikrant Massey’s sensitive performance and Shanaya Kapoor’s charming debut, the film delivers both depth and warmth. Their chemistry, paired with soulful music offers a story best experienced not just through the eyes, but through the heart — dil se dekho.”
Vikrant Massey said , “ Playing Jahaan in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan has been one of the most enriching experiences of my career. He may not see the world like others do, but he feels it with rare depth—and that really moved me. There’s a quiet strength and vulnerability in him that stayed with me. Working with Shanaya was effortless; our bond brought a natural honesty to Jahaan and Saba’s story. At its heart, this film is a reminder that love isn’t about appearances—it’s about connection, compassion, and courage. I’m truly excited for audiences to experience it on ZEE5 from 5th September.”
Shanaya Kapoor said, “When Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan came to me, it felt like the right story to begin my journey with. Playing Saba - an aspiring, fearless artist navigating her own path was both challenging and rewarding. I connected deeply with her passion and individuality. Vikrant Massey’s support and generosity on set made it easier to bring Saba to life. I’m really looking forward to audiences discovering this story when it begins streaming on ZEE5 from 5th September.”
