Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan box office collection day 1: The Santosh Singh film didn't perform very well on Friday. As per the film, which marks the Bollywood debut of Shanaya Kapoor, couldn't even earn ₹50 lakh in India. The film also stars Vikrant Massey alongside Shanaya. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan box office collection day 1: Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor in a still from the film. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan domestic box office collection As per the report, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan opened in theatres at just ₹35 lakh. The film had an overall 9.92% Hindi occupancy on Friday. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan also earned lower than Vikrant's last film, The Sabarmati Report (2024). It had opened in theatres at ₹1.25 crore, as per Shanaya was supposed to make her debut with Bedhadak, but the film was shelved. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan review The Hindustan Times review of the film read, "Shanaya Kapoor makes a confident debut, even if her character (or the story) doesn't give her much to work with. Vikrant Massey, usually reliable, is decent but not at his best. His role as a visually-challenged man had the potential for nuance, but he doesn't quite land it. Zain Khan Durrani, as Shanaya's other love interest Abhinav, is adequate." "Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyaan feels like a love letter that never reached its destination. It tries to tug at your heartstrings but ends up playing out of tune. You're left wishing the film had seen its own potential more clearly — instead, it stumbles blindly in search of a spark that never quite ignites," it also read. About Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan revolves around emotions, romance, and the connection between its lead characters. The film, which released in theatres on Friday, was produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla. The film is written by Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla. The music has been composed by Vishal Mishra. Aankhon ki Gustaakhiyan" is presented by Zee Studios and Mini Films.

Anurag Kashyap says Siddhant Chaturvedi's comment changed Ananya Panday
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap recently opened up about actor Ananya Panday, calling her his favourite "nepo baby". Recalling Siddhant Chaturvedi's viral "struggle" remark directed at her, Kashyap praised Panday's growth and the evolving choices she's made in her a conversation with The Juggernaut, Kashyap said, 'I think she has figured it out,' he said, referring to the shift in her approach to acting. Kashyap recalled Siddhant Chaturvedi's viral remark - 'Our struggles end where yours begin' - from a past interview, noting that Ananya took it personally. 'That really hit her, and I think it changed something in her,' he pointed to her performances in 'CTRL', 'Kho Gaye Hum Kahan', and 'Gehraiyaan' as examples of her artistic evolution. 'She is doing great stuff. She is taking risks, and she is quite mature. She experiments,' he added. The filmmaker also addressed the larger conversation around nepotism, offering a layered view. 'More than the kids, I think the problem is that the parents are not letting them make their own choices. For safety, the parental instinct kicks in,' he too, has previously reflected on the assumptions that follow star kids. Responding to industry bias due to her father Chunky Panday, she had said, 'Just because I'm an actor's daughter, I'm not going to say no to an opportunity. My dad has not been in a Dharma film, he's never been on 'Koffee With Karan'. It's not as easy as people think.'Siddhant's earlier comment continues to resonate in this discourse. 'Everybody has their own struggles. The only difference is, where our dreams get fulfilled, their struggle begins,' he had said, capturing the dualities of privilege and pressure within the Ananya Panday is shooting for 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri', co-starring Kartik Aaryan, scheduled to release in 2026.
