Ibrahim Ali Khan's Debut Film 'Nadaaniyan' Faces Harsh Criticism and Poor IMDb Rating

The Netflix romantic drama, produced by Karan Johar, has been widely panned for its dialogue, acting, and storyline, earning a 4.5/10 IMDb rating despite fan efforts to boost its score.

Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor's debut film, 'Nadaaniyan,' has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and audiences alike since its release on Netflix on March 7, 2025.
The film's IMDb rating stands at 4.5/10, with social media users mocking the acting, dialogue, and storyline; some fans attempted to highlight a high percentage of 10-star ratings on the platform.
Key scenes and dialogues from the film, such as references to 'AI robots' and 'global warming,' have gone viral for being labeled as 'cringe' and poorly written.
Produced by Karan Johar and directed by Shauna Gautam in her debut, the film has been criticized for its lack of originality, drawing comparisons to older romantic dramas like 'Student of the Year.'
Despite the backlash, some individuals, including Ibrahim's sister Sara Ali Khan, have shown support for his performance, while others, like Hrithik Roshan's mother, have echoed the 'mindless' critique.
