Ibrahim Ali Khan, Khushi Kapoor in ‘Nadaniyan’
A Gosmar-Patli romantic comedy that comes out as Karan Johar’s latest home assignment for Star Kids to pass the Bollywood entrance test, Nadaniyana The muster does not pass. The love story tests reliability and testing patience, reflecting the armchair sensitivity of Bandra School of Filmmaking. Its vague views on education are disturbing, and the cultural reference of Delhi-NCR is deeply annoying. In addition, when a dated plot is pledged by stock characters, it gives major returns as usual.

Under the leadership of debut director Shuna Gautam, a troca of authors promises to provide insight into adults. Set in an elite school, the film Piya Jayasih (Khushi Kapoor) follows as she hits a middle class student, Arjun Mehta (Ibrahim Ali Khan) to secure her lover’s trust as her lover. As they get closer, pretense gives way to an forecasted relationship, causing cosmetic complications that weigh some Instagram-worthy reels.
While Piya gets trapped between his parents’s sharp relationships, which was played by Mahima Chaudhary and Sunil Shetty, Arjun finds his people to his people (Dia Mirza and Jugal Hansraj) while infiltrating their lives.

Story: A girl from a prosperous family attachs a middle-class boy as her lover to maintain her social status, but as her extreme turns into a real relationship, complications arise.
As the surface of stress and insecurity climbs, the screenplay turns into a paragraph-writing exercise on parenting and emotional disturbance that cures adolescents on the tail of adulthood. The comment on patriarchal fairs in rich families remains superficial, and the references of Ivy colleges are repeatedly dropped without doing basic research. Wisecracks are not land. Even seeing the role of Archana Purana Singh, Miss Briganza again Kuch kuch hai haiThe proceedings fail to activate. To find true love, attention is attracted from a distracted manner that the result of a love story is never in doubt.
Nadaniyan is Kamashi’s third film, and anyone can see an aging growth in his performance. The quality of her voice is similar to Janhvi, and like her sister, happiness may not be able to shine a weak character, but she is honest for the part.

It goes without saying that Ibrahim is a true copy of his father, Saif Ali Khan. An aqueline nose, a firm join, and innocence in his eyes is to notice everyone, but the boy has so far befriended the camera and seems to have been reading his lines instead of rendering them. The authors and technical teams have done their work to hide the boundaries behind the organizations of ABS and Manish Malhotra, but it does not work. There is an X factor that is hidden somewhere in this festival of fopuries, but, for now, it is not a healthy.
Nadaniyan is currently streaming on Netflix
