Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan Moves to OTT: Shanaya Kapoor’s Debut Reaches Wider Audience
Shanaya Kapoor’s first Bollywood film is now streaming on ZEE5, giving more viewers a chance to see her in a touching romantic drama.
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan, which marked Shanaya Kapoor’s Bollywood debut alongside Vikrant Massey, has begun streaming on ZEE5. The film originally released in theaters back in July, and its digital release this September is giving it a second life with audiences who missed it on the big screen.
The romantic drama revolves around a visually impaired woman navigating love, dreams, and personal independence—offering moments of heartbreak, hope, and emotional strength. Critics praised Shanaya’s performance as sensitive and assured, noting that she managed to hold her own opposite Massey without relying on spectacle. The movie has warmed up to digital audiences, especially through word-of-mouth recommendation and viewer discussions on social media.
The move to OTT highlights the growing pattern of films finding new life online—especially those that may not have had massive theatrical success, but offer deeply human stories. For Shanaya Kapoor, this release could help her reach audiences beyond theaters, giving her more visibility as a rising actor in Hindi cinema. It also raises questions about how romantic dramas are being rediscovered in the OTT era—where timing, pacing, and emotional subtlety often find a more appreciative audience.
