The film leading up to the end credits isn’t half as sparkling.

This is a film which has been created by-and-for hashtags, with zero insights into the demographic it represents.

Rated: 1/5

A gossamer-thin romantic comedy that comes across as Karan Johar’s latest home assignment for star kids to pass the Bollywood entrance test, Nadaaniyan doesn’t pass muster.

Funny how the paparazzi regularly haunting Ibrahim's gym trips capture a far more relaxed and disarming side to his persona than the film.

Rated: 2/5

This Gen-Z rom-com feels out of touch and superficial.

NDTV

The film juggles sundry ideas from Karan Johar's early blockbusters (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, K3G, et al) and updates them, without much originality, for the consumption of Gen Z social media addicts who would rather die than go off the grid.

Rated: 2/5

A quirky and fun young rom-com! I really enjoyed it. A lot of the negative reviews seem to focus on nepotism, which I think takes away from simply appreciating the film for what it is. Personally, I found it enjoyable, and it was nostalgic to see some familiar faces on screen again. Definitely worth a watch!

It is important to emphasize the significance of genuine acting talent in the film industry. Rather than prioritizing physical appearance, such as six-pack abs, excessive makeup, or cosmetic procedures, the focus should remain on mastering the craft of acting. This particular actress is now in her third film, yet her performances continue to lack depth and authenticity. Coming from a family with a strong background in cinema, one would expect acting to come naturally — a skill honed through experience and exposure. This highlights how nepotism can sometimes provide undue advantage. To filmmakers and producers, I would urge you to consider giving opportunities to talented outsiders who possess true acting potential. The industry thrives when fresh, capable talent is given the chance to shine.

Loved the actors!! Ibrahim Ali Khan is a better looking version of his father and Khushi kapoor totally fits well with Sridevi and Jhanvi Kapoor’s talent !! Applaud to the director to make the movie heartfelt . Was lovely to see Mahima Chaudary, Sunil Shetty , Diya Mirza , Jugal Hansraj , Riya Sen … enjoyed the casting ! Best part was to see the pictures of staff in the end - so so cool to recognize behind the scenes crew !
