What the critics say
Audience Score · not yet · appears once three readers have written a review
Most critics call Nadaaniyan a shallow, poorly acted teen romance with wooden leads and a thin, over-stretched script, though a few single out the music and one reviewer found the screenplay smarter than expected.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 10 readings; 4 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
