This is a wonderful movie i have ever seen since years idk why but its not much popular when it have such a good story and emotional ,drama and romance. Its just the best i have seen idk why people ain't likes it maybe due to some of their doubtful thoughts about the movie but let me tell you its the best and the only best movie came after many years. Just see once you'll never forget it.

I love this movie and the actress Shanaya kapoor such a beautiful actress and our one and only Vikrant sir beautiful acting .

I hope so i would get a chance to meet the cast once my dream probably after watching the movie lol ig.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan offers a visually rich experience with soulful music, but falters where it matters most - emotional depth and storytelling finesse. Despite Vikrant Massey's impressive performance and Shanaya Kapoor's promising debut, the film never quite comes together as the emotionally stirring experience it wants to be.

Unfortunately, the screenplay becomes its biggest weakness. While the first half remains decent and watchable, the second half feels confusing and needlessly stretched. The cinematography is undeniably beautiful. Dialogues are generally well-written, often poetic, and resonate in quiet, reflective scenes.

Vikrant Massey, as expected, delivers a compelling performance. He grounds the film emotionally, even when the writing doesn't give him much to work with. Shanaya Kapoor makes a fair debut and there's an innocence and sincerity in her presence that holds promise. While the role doesn't challenge her much, she manages to leave an impression. Zain Khan Durrani and Saanand Verma were decent.

"Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan" completely won my heart. Vikrant Massey was an absolute beast in this film - intense, powerful, and full of emotion. Every time he was on screen, he owned it. Shanaya Kapoor, on the other hand, was pure beauty - soft, charming, and full of grace. Together, they made a perfect pair. The story felt real, the emotions hit deep, and their chemistry was amazing. It truly felt like watching Beauty and the Beast - a mix of strength and softness, pain and love. I didn't want it to end. For me, this movie is a solid 10 out of 10!"

Rarely does a film come along that not only disappoints but actively challenges your patience and basic faith in storytelling. This movie-whose name is not even worth repeating-manages to do just that. It is, quite frankly, a disaster from the opening frame to the final, painfully prolonged credits. What could have been a compelling narrative about ambition, relationships, or social struggle instead spirals into a nonsensical slog with characters so poorly written, you almost wish they'd vanish halfway just to end the suffering.

Let's begin with the writing, because that's where the rot truly starts. The script is not merely bad-it's offensively lazy. Characters are one-dimensional, motivations are either non-existent or completely inconsistent, and the dialogue feels like it was copy-pasted from a WhatsApp forward. There is zero nuance. Scenes that are supposed to be emotionally resonant are rendered laughable by the sheer artificiality of the writing. You're never invited to feel anything for the characters because they're not people-they're cardboard cutouts acting out the most generic, overdone clichés imaginable.

The writers seem to have no concept of structure, pacing, or emotional progression. Plot twists arrive not because they make sense, but because the script desperately wants to appear clever. There are jarring tonal shifts that leave you wondering whether you're watching a drama, a comedy, or an unintentional parody. The narrative doesn't evolve; it meanders. Long, meaningless sequences fill time, and by the end, you realize that nothing of substance has occurred. It's like watching a train headed nowhere slowly unravel on rusty tracks.

The direction doesn't help matters. If anything, it makes the situation worse. The director seems to have approached the material with all the enthusiasm of someone forced to fulfill a contractual obligation. There is no visual style, no narrative tension, and no rhythm to the film. Scenes are stitched together with all the grace of a school project edited on Windows Movie Maker. Moments that should be powerful land flat, not because they lack potential, but because the direction is so utterly tone-deaf to what the story demands.

Let's talk about the performances-or rather, the complete lack of them. Vikrant Massey, often praised for his restrained acting and subtlety in past projects, is utterly unwatchable here. It's not entirely his fault-the writing gives him nothing to work with-but even then, his performance feels phoned-in, flat, and frustratingly devoid of any emotional range. You spend most of the film watching him drift through scenes with the blankness of someone who clearly knows this ship is sinking and just wants to get through the shoot.

His dialogue delivery lacks conviction, his expressions are robotic, and his emotional moments are so unconvincing they verge on comical. It's hard to believe this is the same actor who once showed promise in earlier films and web series. Here, he appears either miscast or completely uninterested-possibly both.

Supporting characters fare no better, though it's debatable whether the actors are at fault or the laughably shallow script. Everyone is reduced to archetypes, reacting to events like they've never met another human being in their lives. At no point do you feel like these are real people in real situations. The emotional beats are so contrived, they feel like a parody of better films that handled similar themes with actual skill.

The music is forgettable, the cinematography uninspired, and even the production design looks cheap and inconsistent. Every technical department seems to have phoned it in.

Ultimately, this movie is not just a waste of time-it's a waste of talent, money, and attention. It's the kind of film that makes you question whether the people behind it actually watched what they created. There's nothing here to recommend, not even in a "so bad it's good" kind of way. It is pure delusion dressed up as cinema, and it doesn't deserve a single star.

Avoid at all costs.

The film turned out to be a pleasant surprise. What I initially considered a casual time-pass viewing exceeded my expectations. With Vikrant Massey in the cast, one can usually trust the film to deliver quality, and he did not disappoint. However, the real surprise was Khushi Kapoor. At a time when many star kids are struggling to make a mark with unconvincing performances, Khushi stood out with a remarkably assured debut. She carried her role with sincerity and conviction, never once giving the impression that this was her first film. It's a one-time watch that manages to leave an impression, thanks to strong performances and moments that rise above the ordinary.
