07-Mar-2025 Nadaaniyan Movie Review: Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor Shine in Nadaaniyan on Netflix

If you’re a fan of Bollywood’s signature blend of romance, drama, and comedy, then Nadaaniyan is the perfect addition to your weekend watchlist. Released on Netflix on March 7, this film marks the much-anticipated debut of Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, and it’s already creating quite a buzz.

 

The story revolves around Pia Jai Singh, a privileged South Delhi schoolgirl, who ropes in Arjun Mehta (played by Ibrahim Ali Khan) to pretend to be her boyfriend. What follows is a heartwarming tale of youthful innocence, self-discovery, and the complexities of modern relationships. The chemistry between Ibrahim and Khushi is refreshing, making their on-screen pairing a treat to watch.

 

Directed by Shauna Gautam, Nadaaniyan takes viewers on a delightful journey that beautifully merges the charm of classic Bollywood with a modern-day love story. One of the film’s highlights is its nostalgic nod to the iconic character Ms. Briganza from the 1998 blockbuster Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Archana Puran Singh reprises her role as the unforgettable Briganza, delivering yet another memorable lecture on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet—27 years later!

 

But that’s not all—Nadaaniyan also packs in a surprise for Shah Rukh Khan fans. The film cleverly incorporates a time-travel element that takes viewers back to the era of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, blending the old-school Bollywood magic with contemporary storytelling.

 

The supporting cast, including seasoned actors like Suneil Shetty, Mahima Chaudhary, Dia Mirza, and Jugal Hansraj, adds depth and charm to the narrative. Produced by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Misra under Dharmatic Entertainment, the film is a visual and emotional treat.

To celebrate Ibrahim Ali Khan’s 24th birthday, the filmmakers hosted a special screening in Mumbai on March 5, giving audiences a sneak peek into this cinematic gem. With its mix of nostalgia, humor, and romance, Nadaaniyan is a must-watch this weekend. 

 

So, grab your popcorn, settle in, and let this film take you on a rollercoaster of emotions!
