's romantic drama Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan witnessed a slight uptick in collections on Day 2, earning an estimated Rs 43 lakh at the Indian box office. The film, which opened to Rs 35 lakh on Friday, has now amassed a total of Rs 73 crore in its first two days, according to early estimates by Sacnilk.
Despite the modest growth, the film's overall performance remains underwhelming. On its opening day, it recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of just 9.92%. When compared to Massey's previous outing The Sabarmati Report (2024), opened at an estiamted Rs 1.25 crore. According to sacnilk, the box office report places the film as Vikrant's current lowest earning film.
The film also faces stiff competition from Hollywood releases like Superman and Jurassic World Rebirth, both of which scored big over the weekend, raking in an estiamted Rs 9 crore and Rs 7 crore respectively on Saturday.
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, directed by Niranjan Iyengar and Mansi Bagla, is a romantic drama that explores themes of love, longing, and emotional vulnerability. The film marks the much-anticipated debut of Shanaya Kapoor, who stars opposite Massey in a story built on music by
Vishal Mishra
and heartfelt performances.
Shanaya, in a recent interview with PTI, expressed gratitude for her debut journey, saying, 'It's all come together and I'm happy with how the journey has been.
The ups and downs are meant to happen for me to be here today.'
At the film's trailer launch, her father, actor Sanjay, became visibly emotional, admitting, 'I have never been this nervous... Before I shed some tears, thank you.'
With its slow start at the box office, Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan now relies heavily on positive word-of-mouth to gain traction through the weekend.

Actor Vishal, who had collaborated with Raju on numerous action-heavy films, expressed his grief on social media. Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Vishal wrote, 'So difficult to digest the fact that stunt artist Raju passed away while doing a car toppling sequence for jammy @arya_offl and @beemji Ranjith's film this morning. Have known Raju for so many years and he has performed so many risky stunts in my films time and time again as he is such a brave person."

Rajeev Khandelwal reveals why he quit Kahiin Toh Hoga, talks about last meeting with show's producers: ‘I locked horns with Ekta Kapoor, many thought I was egoistic'
Actor Rajeev Khandelwal has seen a stardom that many cannot even imagine. Even Rajeev finds it hard to explain what it was like to witness the love he got for his role, Sujal Grewal, in Kahiin Toh Hoga. The Ekta Kapoor-produced show that was released in 2003 made Rajeev Khandelwal a household name. It catapulted him to superstardom on Indian television, but just when he reached the top, Rajeev decided to return to the ground equally soon. In the latest episode of SCREEN's 'Dear Me…' Rajeev Khandelwal recalled his memories with Kahiin Toh Hoga – from bagging the role and witnessing the popularity, to quitting it, he shared that he left the show because of the audience's love. Talking about landing the role, he said, 'I had done a few ads, and slowly I started doing a little better. Whenever I used to earn some money, I used to go back to Delhi. During one of those trips, I read an ad that said, Balaji Telefilms has an audition for a show in a college. I went there and it looked like the entire Delhi wanted to become an actor. The richest and poorest kids were all there. So I thought it was fake, and they must have finalised someone already. I was also very nervous. Then a guy named Vishal called me and asked me to audition. I auditioned for Sujal, but I was picked to play a role in Kya Hadsa Kya Haqeeqat. Within four days, I got a call from Balaji, and I came to Mumbai.' Also Read: Rajeev Khandelwal opens up about being an atheist, reveals how fans attempted to influence his beliefs Rajeev further shared, 'I took up the role, it was for 35-40 episodes, and by then I knew that another guy was already cast for Kahiin Toh Hoga. He had started playing that character, and by the time I wrapped up my show, I was told that they had shot for 15 episodes already. However, after shooting that much, they decided to replace Sujal, and I could hear the buzz in Balaji that I was going to be picked for a character that is very close to her heart. One day, Ekta called me and offered me the role.' 'I had no idea that this character would work because I was the opposite. I considered myself not good-looking, and I was known to be a good-looking man. At no point in time did I think this show would become so popular. The day I was told that it would be telecast at 11 pm, I told myself that this would be a long struggle. I thought I would need a few more shows to get recognition. But in 15 episodes, I started seeing this excitement around me. I would find girls around me blushing, looking at me, and smiling. I kept telling myself it was for the character,' Rajeev added. He also shared, 'It hit me the day one of the leading publications called me asking for an interview, which came on the front page. After 25 episodes, I started cutting ribbons, and I was everywhere, and then it went through the roof. I just couldn't handle it, felt very unreal. Nobody will understand that feeling other than me and Ekta. Once I went to my house and I could not even enter, I couldn't go on the terrace because they were filled with people. I would fly kites, and girls would drop kites with messages written for Sujal on them. A lot of things changed overnight. I was getting so many film offers.' A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment) Recalling the love he got from fans, Rajeev Khandelwal said, 'I was very truthful to myself, and I never took up the film offers because I wanted to prove to myself that I was much more than Sujal. A lot of people also kept telling me that this is what happens with serials that one gets popular, and you get stuck in that image. For me, the love was so overwhelming that I couldn't deal with it. People would wait outside my home, letters were slipped un from under the door, women would come and bless me, I would get weird calls now and then. I was inundated with gifts.' Sharing why he chose to quit the show, Rajeev added, 'When I quit the show, it was only because I couldn't handle it. People loved me so much, and I thought I was not giving them back in terms of quality. That thinking of me being that for them was not working with me. After the character, I did not pick up any character that was similar to Sujal. I didn't want to be known as this romantic guy who was brooding. So I picked up a series called Time Bomb. I was being offered romantic characters in bulk. My well-wishers were telling me to buy one more house, a few cars, by playing such roles. I did Time Bomb, and it did not work; the same people who wrote big stories about me also wrote about my mighty fall with the same gusto.' Don't Miss: Rajeev Khandelwal recalls casting couch experience during which he was serenaded with a song, sent away with icy warning A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment) Rajeev Khandelwal also shared, 'People wrote things like, 'he has become too big for his boots', but nobody knew the truth. What came across was that I locked horns with Ekta, that I am leaving her, and I must be thinking that I have arrived. I quit the show at its peak, refused the money, the popularity, so many thought I was egoistic. After I quit Left Right Left, I also knew I was not going to be offered much work in TV now. I realised no producer would give me work.' 'I had a lot of fights with the producers; nobody would be happy when you walk out of a show when it's doing well. When I was walking out of Kahiin toh Hoga, I went to Shobha (Kapoor) aunty, at that time, asking to leave the show was perceived as the actor wanted more money, which was also offered to me. They said they will increase my remuneration, and I said reduce it, but give me quality.' On the work front, Rajeev Khandelwal was last seen in the OTT shows – Secrets of Shiledaars and Showtime.
