Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan’s review
HT reviewed Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan as a love story that can’t see beyond its flaws. An excerpt from the review read, “There’s a reason the Ruskin Bond story that inspired this, The Eyes Have It, was a short story: the longer the narrative stretches, the more it loses its grip. The film stumbles right at the start. A girl boards a train to an unknown place with a stranger and doesn’t take off her blindfold even once? Sure, let’s accept the suspension of disbelief. Move past that, and you’re treated to a few beautiful locations and pleasant music. Unfortunately, that’s about it.
