Naadaniyaan

Ah, Naadaaniyan. I walked in with the wide-eyed optimism of a cat chasing a laser pointer, especially with Ibrahim's debut and the faint hope that Khushi Kapoor had, like a software update, fixed some glitches since her last outing. Alas, the laser pointer led me straight into a brick wall.

Khushi, bless her heart, clearly tried. It was like watching someone assemble IKEA furniture without the instructions - some parts fit, others... well, let's just say they're now abstract art. The romantic and college scenes were flatter than a politician's apology. Her emotional scenes were a slight improvement, but still not enough to make me care.

Then there's Ibrahim. He's got the Saif Ali Khan starter pack, complete with the signature smolder and that 'I just woke up looking this good' vibe. But honestly, watching him was like looking at a vintage photo of Saif - nostalgic, but I was hoping for a fresh Polaroid, not a faded reprint. I wanted Ibrahim, not Saif 2.0.

The supporting cast? Suniel Shetty, Dia Mirza, Jugal Hansraj, and Archana Puran Singh were like reliable sidekicks, always there to pick up the slack. But Mahima Chaudhary... oh, Mahima. It was like she'd swapped her acting chops for a really good nap. A long, forgetful nap. I was rooting for her comeback, but it felt more like a "come-back-later-when-you-remember-your-lines" moment.

The music? It was so bland, it's made me question my entire understanding of melody. And the direction by debutant Shauna Gautam was mediocre at best. As the captain of the ship, she should have steered the film more carefully instead of heading straight for an iceberg. On the bright side, Anuj Samtani's cinematography was like the only lifeboat that worked - visually pleasing, but ultimately, it couldn't save the whole sinking experience.

Overall, a solid 3/10. I was truly naadaan to have such high hopes. I've learned my lesson, though. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go rewatch something with a plot that doesn't feel like it was written on a napkin during a bumpy bus ride.

As soon as the movie started, after 5-10 minutes I realized that it's going to be flop.

I am so bored after watching the movie ( i watched it , hopefully thinking it might pickup the pace after some time, which it didn't ) Writing a review for this movie feels like a tedious task . But want to save some time for other viewers, you won't enjoy it much unless you are locked in a room with nothing but except this movie on the TV.

However, personally I would prefer to not watch the movie in that scenario either and would like to spend my time thinking about genetically modifying the cows to fight the aliens . That will be more interesting and better use of my time than watching this movie. Thank you.

I rarely leave reviews, but Naadaniyaa was so unbearable that I had to warn others. From the very first scene, it was clear that this movie was going to be a disaster. The acting is not just bad (specially khushi kapoor) -it's over-the-top and cringe-worthy, making even the most basic dialogues feel forced and unnatural.

The storyline (if you can even call it that) is predictable and painfully slow. I gave it a fair chance, watching for about 30 minutes, but I just couldn't continue. There's no depth in the characters, the humor is flat, and the emotional scenes are laughably exaggerated.

Save your time and skip this one. There are plenty of better movies out there that won't make you regret pressing play.

Oh god the movie was so bad i couldn't wait for it to get over.the acting is horrendous and looks absolutely fake and cringe but ibrahim's acting is at least bearable (it's still bad), khushi kapoor's acting was UNBEARABLE, it was so fake and cringe that I wanted to puke The dialogues were bad but their dialogue delivery was worse....bollywood if you wanna make a movie about teenagers maybe let actual teenagers write or direct it...these 40 year old boomers have no idea what teenagers are or what goes through their minds and I think what they show in the movie is what they think our generation is🤡🤡🤡

Hats off to Dharma Productions for their guts to produce this movie, and further more for releasing it! Honestly, making a movie is one thing, but having the courage to release it knowing that it's a pathetic creation is another thing! I wish I could turn back time and recover my two hours, or if I could sue the production house for creating these kind of movies that damage the reputation of Indian Cinema.

Both, Khushi Kapoor and Ibrahim Ali, are at their natural worst, with terrible acting and horrible dialogue delivery. Not to forget other actors such as Sunil Shetty, Mahima Chaudhary, Dia Mirza, etc., all of whom look as if they were forced to act at gun point, with zero rupees on their pay check.

The only good point is that anyone who had concerns with nepotism doesn't need to be worried anymore. These horrible talents will only help us better appreciate those who are not from the Industry.
