The Netflix film Nadaaniyan, starring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor, premiered on Friday but has received widespread criticism from viewers, as reported by Indian media.
According to a report, many social media users have called the film “unbearable.” One X user commented, “If you go to Netflix to watch Nadaaniyan, you’ll cancel your subscription within the next 10 minutes.”
#nadaaniyaan was unbearable after just five minutes (or even less). No wonder why it released on OTT. Khushi kapoor needs to take some time out and learn acting in a acting school. Start doing theatre post that.

Another review labeled the film “a silly one,” criticizing its portrayal of class differences in Bollywood’s evolving narrative. Another viewer stated that the film became “unbearable” within the first five minutes, adding that its release on an OTT platform was unsurprising.
A user, disappointed with Khushi Kapoor’s performance in Nadaaniyaan, posted a humorous GIF of a cartoon character pouring bleach into his eyes, implying that the performance was unbearable.
