I dozed off after just 20 minutes while watching this movie. I'll probably give it another shot when I'm struggling to sleep, but honestly, it didn't grab my attention at all. Khushi Kapoor's acting felt more like overacting than anything else. She really needs to stop taking acting lessons from Arjun Kapoor-his style isn't helping her at all. The story itself is also the same old, repetitive tale about high school kids. It was just another cliched, stupid love story that added nothing new to the genre.
Writers really need to come up with something fresh and original because this movie felt like the same old stuff we've seen a million times before. It's just another recycled high school love story with nothing new to offer. But honestly, even though the plot was predictable and the acting wasn't great, it ended up working out for me. I had a really good nap during the movie! It was almost like the perfect sleep aid, so I guess that's one positive thing I can say about it. But still, a new story would have been nice.

From the very first frame, Nadaanian sets the tone-and unfortunately, it's downhill from there. The film's lackluster start, accompanied by an unimpressive background score, does little to reel you in. Within the first five minutes, we're introduced to a so-called rebellious character, whose acting chops seem to rely more on their Instagram follower count than actual talent. It's a textbook case of style over substance.
If that weren't enough, the dubbing in Hindi raises an eyebrow. Why bother making a movie if it isn't rooted in an original language? The lack of authenticity feels like a disservice to both the story and the audience. Perhaps it's an ambitious attempt to reach wider audiences, but the execution leaves much to be desired.
In a world where cinema is celebrated as an art form, Nadaanian feels like a missed opportunity to truly shine.

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.

Another banger of a movie from the Alumni of the Karan Johar College of Nepotism and Shifaaras, this movie is inspiring.
I was comatose for 6 months in a hospital when my wife switched this on on Netflix to fall asleep to, suddenly it was so cringe and tryhard that it made my come out of my coma and get up to get the remote and exit out of the Netflix App and put something else on!
A must watch for comatose patients and dead people as it will definitely bring you back from the death and change the channel or app.
Saif Ali Khans kid tries too hard while Sridevis kid has no talent. Amazing!!!

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.
