A brand new Bollywood pairing is turning heads with their unexpected blend of charm and mystery. Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor have teamed up for Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, a musical romance that’s got everyone talking after the release of its first look poster. But this is no ordinary love story.

The poster shows Vikrant and Shanaya sharing a quiet moment at a carnival, but it is what they’re holding that has ignited conversations.

One might or might not have noticed that they are holding hands but they are also holding a pair of black glasses, the kind typically associated with the visually impaired. Their eyes are shut, and that detail has left fans wondering if this film hides more than it shows.

While the project marks Shanaya Kapoor’s debut, her appearance alongside Vikrant already looks like a well-balanced pairing. There’s a calm energy in the image, but the accessories and body language suggest there may be a twist to the tale. Is this a romance wrapped in silence? A story of love without sight? The clues are subtle, but they’re enough to raise intrigue.

Adding to the interest is the film’s title. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan – roughly translating to the mischief of eyes – takes on a layered meaning if the characters are blind. Is it poetic irony? Or is it part of a deeper narrative that explores perception, emotion and connection beyond the visual?

The music for the film is composed by Vishal Mishra, and if buzz is to be believed, the soundtrack will play a central role in the storytelling. With a storyline possibly touching themes of disability, emotional resilience and silent romance, the songs could act as the voices of the characters.

Directed by Santosh Singh, produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla and backed by Zee Studios, the film releases in theatres on July 11. Whether it’s a love story of the senses or a heart-tugging drama with unexpected turns, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is already stirring the pot.
