Mainine Pyar Kiya, Dilwale, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Mohabbatein and Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai have been abandoned by the heart sewing romantics. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is a refreshing change that brings back the charm of old school love stories.

The film begins with a train journey from Delhi to Mussoorie, where Jahaan (Vikrant Massey), a singer who is visually forced visually forced, hit Saba Shergill (Shanaya Kapoor), an eager actor to prepare for the dream project. Two strangers meet, and what emerges is a story that revives the spell of classical romanticism.

Directed by director Santosh Singh, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan opens an interesting note. The interesting, heartfelt conversations between Jahaan and Saba attract you instantly. As the story progresses, the duo caught an unexpected situation – they fight along the way, argue, empathize, and romance in somewhere. The film reaches a high point compared to the range, and leaves the audience willing to discover why Jahaan and Saba have separated their ways and whether they will reunite.

The second half sees Zain Khan Durrani’s entry as Saba’s boyfriend and adds a new layer of drama. The narrative receives a three -year leap and the missing love story passes to Europe as I find a new ground.

Film performances are developing. Vikrant Massey is reliable as expected and brings originality to its character from the first frame. Shanaya Kapoor offers a surprisingly mature performance that makes a brave choice by playing a blindly character for the first hour. It effectively transfers pain and longing effectively and effectively. His emotional scenes in the second half give him a solid platform to shine. Zain Khan Durrani proves that it is an amazing entity by adding a significant weight to drama after December.

As Santosh Singh director, he made an impressive output. Despite a few straight or predictable mains, the species manages with sincerity and ability. Vishal Mishra’s music completes the narrative in a beautiful way by developing emotional rhythms. The chemistry between Vikrant and Shanaya is natural and interesting, which makes them a pleasant screen pair.

The disadvantage is that the film feels slightly stretched in the second half and some land points become predictable. The love triangle may have been investigated with more depth and intensity. In general, Aankhon is a film that will be valued by Gustaakhiyan, timeless love stories by a warm, nostalgic regression-Non-death romantics.
