Nadaaniyan (Netflix) Review :-

What stands out the most in Netflix’s Nadaaniyan, produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, is the cringeworthy dialogue and its awkward delivery. From the very first minute, it recalls Karan Johar’s Student of the Year, another of his productions, with its exaggerated characters and an outdated storyline that felt out of place for its time. Add a touch of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and you get Nadaaniyan—a film that evokes memories of beloved classics but falls short of capturing their charm.

The issue with Nadaaniyan lies in the fact that its actors don’t seem to believe in the lines they’re delivering. Every dialogue feels forced and unnatural, almost like nails on a chalkboard. The film is also bogged down by heavy-handed exposition that disrupts the flow of the story. While the plot is clichéd and easily forgettable, it does have some charm as a light, disposable watch. It revolves around rich teenagers acting like, well, rich teenagers—something no middle-class kid would do to maintain their social status.

What’s most disappointing, though, is how much the film resembles a remake of SOTY, with Khushi Kapoor sadly not measuring up to Alia Bhatt’s performance. The film attempts to present Pia as a relatable millionaire with family issues, but honestly, taking the Shanaya Singhania approach might have worked better than expected. Pia’s character feels inauthentic, trying too hard to pass off her privileged lifestyle and designer wardrobe while whining about not being the center of attention. At least Shanaya knew who she was when she cried out for her parents’ attention—Pia, on the other hand, just comes across as shallow and disconnected.

This is Ibrahim Ali Khan’s debut film, and while he’s certainly easy on the eyes, he comes across as awkward and uncertain in his role, as if he’s been pushed into the film against his will. There’s zero chemistry between him and Khushi Kapoor, who hasn’t improved since The Archies and still feels stiff in her performance. The film tries to show their relationship evolving from a joke to something real, but as a viewer, that transition never truly hits. Even when their bond is meant to feel more genuine, it still feels half-baked and awkward, much like when it first started. Neither Khan nor Kapoor seems ready to carry the weight of an entire feature film, and their characters lack the spark needed to evoke any real emotion.

The parts I actually enjoyed in Nadaaniyan were the parents and their relationships. While they aren’t the film’s focus, seeing Mahima Chaudhry, Dia Mirza, Suniel Shetty, and Jugal Hansraj added a fun dynamic, and their family conflicts—though fairly predictable—were a nice touch. Ultimately, the film wraps up with an expected ending that feels just as inauthentic as the rest of the story. You’re left waiting for that spark, the butterflies, and the shy smile, but no matter how hard the protagonists try, it never truly lands.

Final Thought

Nadaaniyan on Netflix isn’t even worth a casual watch. The acting is poor, and the dialogue feels cheap, with the delivery making it seem like the actors are being forced into their roles. There’s zero chemistry between Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, and their supposed transition from fake to real love never feels authentic. The only redeeming feature is the costumes—everyone looks absolutely stunning—but that’s about it. It does, however, leave you with a strong urge to rewatch Student of the Year, so there’s that.
