Vikrant Massey is such an underrated actor! Perfect choice to pair with a newcomer. Hope this film gives him the recognition he deserves. The story sounds beautiful - blind musician and visually impaired artist? Already emotional just thinking about it!

Another star kid launch...but at least this one seems to have some substance with the Ruskin Bond connection. Let's see if she can act or if it's just hype. The teaser looks decent though.

The chemistry between Shanaya and Vikrant looks so pure in the teaser! 😍 And what a beautiful concept - adapting 'The Eyes Have It'. Santosh Singh's direction plus Vikrant's acting - this could be a sleeper hit. Counting days till July 11!

Hope they don't ruin Ruskin Bond's beautiful story with unnecessary Bollywood drama. The original is so subtle and poignant. But with Vikrant involved, I have some faith. Fingers crossed!

So refreshing to see a debut that's not just about glamour and dance numbers. Playing a visually impaired character requires real acting chops. All the best to Shanaya - hope she does justice to this challenging role.
