Is love actually blind? – Firstpost

Language: Hindi

Director: Santosh Singh

Forged: Vikrant Massey & Shanaya Kapoor

Although Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan lacks the type of depth we count on to see in a Vikrant Massey movie, it’s a nice one-time watch.  For the primary time, Vikrant’s followers will see him in a very totally different avatar. In a panorama suffocated by gore, it’s a welcome break to see one romantic film after one other.

Debutant Shanaya Kapoor has positively put in lots of onerous work, figuring out very properly that the strain is double on her for being an insider from the trade. She little doubt is promising. However I’ve seen a greater film up to now a few blind lady falling in love with a person who just isn’t handsome and he fears what if one days she rejects him after gaining her imaginative and prescient.

The film is known as Dekha (2001), directed by Gautam Ghose. I bear in mind watching this movie as a child.  Dekha tells the story of a blind poet who turns into the thing of affection for a lady who can not see him. He struggles along with his emotions and worries about her response when she finally regains her sight. The movie explores the theme of the strain society places on us to look good and the complexities of relationships. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan doesn’t have these complexities and layers of mature storytelling, although the preliminary thought of the movie is nice.

Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan begins with a prepare journey to the hill station when a visually impaired musician, Jahaan (Vikrant Massey) and a theater artiste, Saba (Shanaya Kapoor) meet.  Written by Mansi Bagla, initially the movie appears promising, however because it progresses, it loses the zing.

Not denying that 
_Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan_ does have lots of freshness, however what we actually needed was the stable execution of the story to do justice to a superb craftsman like Vikrant Massey. For the primary time, you’ll be stunned to see
Vikrant Massey kissing so passionately on display. In any other case we’ve all the time seen him carry out passionately whether or not it was Mirzapur, twelfth Fail or The Sabarmati Report. As for Shanaya Kapoor, it was a wise selection for her to start out her profession with a movie like Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan which isn’t going to typecast her. She the truth is superbly weaves a story of feelings, and showcases the heat of first likelihood encounters, the innocence of falling in love, dealing with betrayal and heartbreak.

However the two of them collectively, Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, that mad and passionate chemistry was lacking. And you retain ready for it all through the movie to listen to the pitter patter of coronary heart beat, similar to the rain on the window pane, however that simply doesn’t occur.

Not utterly working down the hassle of the filmmaker and the solid, however what I genuinely consider is that Shanaya Kapoor actually has the potential and she or he has achieved greater than an honest job as a newcomer. Vikrant Massey’s efficiency is simply high-quality, however positively not his greatest. However the actual hero of the movie is the dreamy music.

All the things mentioned and achieved, director Santosh Singh’s cinematic adaptation of Ruskin Bond’s brief story ‘The Eyes Have It_’_, will certainly carry again fond reminiscences of your first flame solely via the look of the film and the music, however not via the performances or the best way it was executed.
