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. All set to be available globally across 190+ countries on the world’s leading streaming platform for South Asian content, the film brings its story of love, laughter, and serendipity to audiences everywhere.
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 Global 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.
