Shanaya Kapoor's debut film, Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan, released its song "Nazara," which received praise from Suhana and Ananya. The film is slated for release on July 11th.
Bollywood is witnessing a new and heartwarming entry, from a name already buzzing in the glamour world – Shanaya Kapoor. The newly released song "Nazara" from her debut film, Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan, has sparked significant social media discussion about her acting and on-screen chemistry.
"Nazara" Showcases Innocent Love
Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan stars Shanaya Kapoor and Vikrant Massey in lead roles. The film's sensitive storyline portrays the love story of two visually impaired individuals. "Nazara" beautifully captures this tender romance.
The song's depiction of Vikrant and Shanaya's unspoken communication through glances, subtle smiles, and gestures resonates deeply with the audience. Expressing romance without words is challenging, but both actors portray it with ease.
Support from Best Friends Generates Buzz
As Shanaya Kapoor embarks on her film career, she enjoys the full support of her close friends, Suhana Khan (Shah Rukh Khan's daughter) and Ananya Panday (Chunky Panday's daughter). Both lauded the song on their Instagram stories.
- Suhana wrote – "Loved it."
- Ananya commented – "Beautiful 'Nazara' on loop."
These reactions highlight the enduring strength of friendships in Bollywood, mirroring the genuine connections often portrayed on screen.
Vishal Mishra's Composition: Depth and Emotion
"Nazara" is composed and sung by Vishal Mishra, who describes it as "the most personal journey."
According to Vishal,
"I wanted to create a timeless melody, something that originates from the heart and touches the heart. This song reflects the emotions experienced when falling in love for the first time – innocent, tender, and enduring."
This vision has resulted in an intensely emotional and romantic track.
Blindness and Emotional Depth in the Storyline
Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan is based on Ruskin Bond's popular short story, "The Eyes Have It." The story follows two visually impaired individuals unaware of each other's condition. The film emphasizes that humans see not only with their eyes but also with their hearts and emotions. Vikrant Massey's character hides his blindness, adding a poignant layer to the narrative.
Why This Film Could Be a Standout Offering of 2025?
- The direction and screenplay focus on emotions, setting it apart from today's fast-paced films.
- The film's lead pairing – an experienced actor like Vikrant alongside a fresh face like Shanaya – offers a unique experience.
- The soundtrack, especially "Nazara," perfectly complements the sensitive love story and sets the mood.
- The plot incorporates romance, mystery, and emotional depth.
Fan Response and Social Media Frenzy
Following the song's release, hashtags like #NazaraOnLoop and #ShanayaKapoorsDebut trended. Fans on Twitter and Instagram praised Shanaya's simplicity and Vikrant's mature performance. Some users commented that "this is Bollywood's comeback, where emotion and true love return to cinema." The film is set to release in theaters on July 11th, 2025.
