The recent premiere of the film “Nadaaniyan” starring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor has left critics and audiences alike underwhelmed. Now, Hrithik Roshan’s mother, Pinkie Roshan, has also joined the chorus of disappointment. It all started when Freddy Birdy shared his review of the film, stating, “Two things disqualify me from reviewing Nadaaniyan immediately. Firstly, I’m not in my twenties, and secondly, I have a brain.”
Birdy went on to express his observations about the film, noting that it seems to be heading in the direction of mindless romantic comedies, where the focus is on being mindless. He drew parallels between the film and “Student of the Year Part Three,” and also pointed out the stark contrast between the rich and the poor in the movie. According to Birdy, the rich people have money but no happiness, while the poor have a Noida address but a beautiful mother like Dia Mirza and are happy. The rich characters, Birdy said, wear black suits from floor to ceiling like Suniel Shetty and desire male heirs, whereas the poor characters are doctors living in Noida.
Birdy jokingly stated that if he were to show him a poor doctor, he would watch “Nadaaniyan” three times. In his scathing review, Birdy also criticized Netflix, saying, “The most beautiful part of ‘Nadaaniyan’ is that it stays far away from any originality… I liked Ibrahim Ali Khan because you get two actors in one – Saif Ali Khan’s scenes and Sanjay Dutt’s voice… Finally, I appreciate Netflix. When you can give the audience things like ‘Nadaaniyan’, why make great content like ‘Sacred Games’, ‘Jamtara’, ‘Darlings’, and ‘Delhi Crime’… Watch it at your own risk.”
Pinkie Roshan responded to the review, stating that she completely agrees with Birdy’s assessment. The film “Nadaaniyan” is directed by Shashank Ghosh and produced by Karan Johar, featuring Jugal Hansraj, Dia Mirz, Mahima Chaudhry, and Suniel Shetty in lead roles. The movie has been criticized for its lack of originality and poor portrayal of characters, with many calling it a disappointing watch.
