Ibrahim Ali Khan, son of Saif Ali Khan from ‘Nadaniyan’, has made her Bollywood debut. Like Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor, another Bollywood’s ‘Star Kid’ has started her film journey with an international OTT platform like Netflix instead of theater. Seeing ‘Nadaniya’, it seems that his decision is absolutely correct. Because ‘Nadaniyan’ is a film made by Dharma Production, which is perfect for Netflix. There is a separate audience watching love stories on Netflix and ‘Nadaniyan’ is a right film for him. Yes, if this film had been released in the theater, then perhaps this matter would have been different. But Karan Johar has taken a right decision for his ‘Iggi’.
Story
This is the story of Piya Jaisingh (Khushi Kapoor) and Arjun Mehta (Ibrahim Ali Khan). Piya belongs to a rich family and has only two friends. One day something happens among these friends, where Piya lies to her friends that she has a boyfriend. Arjun Mehta becomes Piya’s boyfriend, which she hits on rent. How does Piya and Arjun’s story move forward? To know this, you have to go to Netflix and watch Khushi Kapoor and Ibrahim Ali Khan’s film ‘Nadaniyan’.

Learn how the film is
Many high schools made in Hindi, English, Spanish language such as ‘Mismamach’, ‘Kissing Booth’, ‘The Perfect Date’, ‘Watch Through My Window’ have been part of the Most Watch Global List of Rawcom Netflix. Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Archiz’ was also one of those films. Now Khushi Kapoor and Ibrahim Ali Khan’s ‘Nadaniya’ is also one such ‘feel good’, where there is not much drama. Seeing this, ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ or ‘Student of the Year’ is missed and whenever Karan Johar makes a film with his ‘feel good formula’, the film becomes a hit. Shona Gautam has also used the same formula in his film and this formula will attract not only Indian youth but also international youth.
‘Nadaniyan’ moves forward with a freshness from the beginning. But the treatment given to this film is completely Western, such as Zoya Akhtar’s film ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’. Just as celebrating the wedding anniversary of parents in international water in a large cruise, is beyond the thinking of many like me, in the same way an IV League school seen in the nadanis, we can also see only in the cinema. But sometimes it is nice to see the world outside our access for some time except your probalames. Something like this has also happened with ‘Nadaniyan’.
Directing and story of the film
There is no newness in the story of the film and hence the screenplay looks a bit weak. However, Shona Gautam tries our best with his direction not to feel this deficiency. The dialogues of the film add to the story, ‘Smart to so much that KBC can win’, ‘Ye Nawab Nahin Servant Nickel’ do not let us get bored. It is about 2 hours of film. It could be crushed on a little editing table. Some scenes between Piya and her friends could be easily avoided, making the film and fun.

Acting
Seeing Ibrahim Ali Khan, not only his acting, it seems that we are looking at the young AI version of Saif Ali Khan today. (Because the old Saif Ali Khan had long hair.) His screen presence is good. The expression is also fine. Looking at them, it does not seem that this is their debut. This year, Rasha Thadani, Aman Devgan, Veer Pahadia have also made their Bollywood debut with Ibrahham Ali Khan, but Ibrahim looks a bit more talented than these three. Khushi Kapoor’s acting is now confident in his first film. He also did a good job in ‘Lavayapa’. In this film too, he has given full justice to his character.
In ‘Nadaniyan’, Sunil Shetty and Mahima Chaudhary have played Khushi Kapoor’s parents. At the same time, Junaid Khan and Dia Mirza are playing the character of Ibrahim Ali Khan’s parents. The chemistry of both couples is different from each other, but entertaining. It is fun to see Archana Puran Singh once again in the role of Miss Bigranja.
See or not see
If you are expecting action or drama from this film, then this film is not for you. But you like to watch Christmas movies and high school drama on Netflix, so this film is made for you. Supply has been supplied here according to the demand. You can definitely watch this film for a new pair and refreshing treatment. Anyway, a new trend of judging star kids has started on social media today. Whether Ibrahim Ali Khan or Junaid Khan, both of them have proved in their debut film that they can become a good actor in the future. But giving them a chance is in the hands of the audience. Even before the release of this film, Khushi and Ibrahim started trolling, but to prove these trollers wrong, both of them have an extra star for this film.
