Reddit slams the dialogues in Nadaaniyan

A Reddit user shared a screenshot from the film featuring Khushi Kapoor telling Ibrahim Ali Khan, “I feel a lot of things, Arjun. I am not an AI robot, you know!” and captioned the post, “The dialogue writers can’t be serious right now.” This post sparked hilarious reactions from users.

One Reddit user wrote, “If you’re making a movie for a Gen Z audience, you should hire a Gen Z dialogue writer.” Another commented, “In an attempt to connect with Gen Z, they have used the word ‘AI’ multiple times in the film… can’t get cringier than this.”

Criticising the writers, another user wrote, “It’s so annoying how filmmakers and writers keep pushing this fake, over-the-top version of Gen Z. Every time they try to represent us, it’s just a cringe fest of luxury brand worship. Compare this trash to the deep, poetic dialogues of the ’70s—it’s such a downgrade. Give us something real, not this fake, surface-level crap.”

One person called the dialogues “torture” and wrote, “This is like me trying to learn Gen Z skibidi slang and use it in the office to show I get it. This is torture.” Some even criticised Khushi and Ibrahim’s acting skills, with one saying, “Hate-watched this movie today, and OMG, Khushi is so cringe T_T it physically hurts. Loved her outfits, though. It was a complete influencer fest. And Saif’s son is hot, but I’m sure he can’t act either.”

The dialogues of the film were written by Ishita Moitra, best known for her work on Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, Call Me Bae, Half Girlfriend, and more. She was joined by Jehan Handa, who previously wrote dialogues for Showtime.
