Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Box Office Day 2: Shanaya Kapoor's First Film Struggles, Earns Rs 43 Lakh
Shanaya Kapoor's debut film Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan collects Rs 43 lakh on Day 2, taking its total box office earnings in India to Rs 73 lakh. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan box office collection: Shanaya Kapoor's first big-screen outing Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, co-starring Vikrant Massey, is finding it difficult to connect with audiences. Despite pre-release curiosity, the romantic drama has seen a slow start at the box office. According to trade tracking portal the film collected an estimated Rs 43 lakh (net) on its second day. This comes after a modest opening of Rs 30 lakh on Friday. With that, the total India net collection stands at Rs 73 lakh after two days. The film's overall response remains muted, and it has yet to touch the Rs 1 crore mark. While Saturday showed a slight bump from Day 1, the numbers are still far from promising. Occupancy across theatres remained low. Morning shows recorded just 7.52%, followed by 15.60% in the afternoon. Evening shows saw 14.72%, and night shows performed a little better at 23.14%. The film's overall occupancy in Hindi was around 15.25%. Shanaya Kapoor, daughter of Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, was earlier set to make her debut with Bedhadak, but the project was shelved. Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan marks her official entry into Bollywood, though its box office journey so far has been underwhelming. News18 Showsha gave the film three stars. An excerpt from the review read, 'So, with a decent plot, sincere performances, and a soulful soundtrack by Vishal Mishra, where does Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan falter? In one word: execution. There are so many flaws that you can't overlook them all. Some dialogues had the audience chuckling, for all the wrong reasons. While there were a few hilarious, well-written scenes, the flawed execution has turned this into a half-baked cake: it looks tempting but isn't palatable." Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan tells a story centered on love, emotions, and human connection through its lead characters. The film, directed by Santosh Singh, is based on Ruskin Bond's short story The Eyes Have It. It follows the romantic journey of a visually impaired musician and a theatre artist. Produced by Mansi Bagla and Varun Bagla, the film was released on Friday. First Published: July 13, 2025, 08:22 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
