नादानियाँ

Nadaaniyan (2025) is a Netflix teen romantic comedy directed by Shauna Gautam and produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment — the digital content arm of Dharma Productions. Ibrahim Ali Khan (son of Saif Ali Khan) and Khushi Kapoor (daughter of Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi) both make their Netflix debut in the film. The plot follows two South Delhi teenagers — Arjun and Pia — who enter a fake-dating arrangement that predictably becomes real. The film received a 12% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes but found a streaming audience among teenage viewers. At least one song, 'Galatfehmi,' charted on Rolling Stone India's Top 25 Bollywood Songs of 2025.

Sachin-Jigar compose all eight tracks of the Nadaaniyan album with Amitabh Bhattacharya writing all lyrics — one of the most cohesive composer-lyricist pairings in 2025 Bollywood. The album's highlights are 'Galatfehmi' (Rolling Stone India Top 25 Bollywood Songs of 2025) and 'Ishq Mein' (six-voice ensemble lead single). The album demonstrates Sachin-Jigar's evolution toward a ukulele-piano indie-pop aesthetic that differentiates their 2025 work from the louder, faster productions of their Fukrey-era output.

Nadaaniyan is significant as the Netflix debut of two second-generation star children from major Bollywood families — Ibrahim Ali Khan (son of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh) and Khushi Kapoor (daughter of Boney Kapoor and the late Sridevi) — in a period when the 'nepo baby' debate in Indian cinema was at peak public attention. Musically, Sachin-Jigar's authorship of all eight songs with Amitabh Bhattacharya writing all lyrics represents one of the cleanest composer-lyricist collaborations in 2025 streaming cinema. 'Galatfehmi' charted on Rolling Stone India's Top 25 Bollywood Songs of 2025 — a notable achievement for an OTT-only teen film.

Released on Netflix on 7 March 2025, Nadaaniyan received only 12% critical approval on Rotten Tomatoes but found a streaming audience among teenage viewers. The soundtrack outlasted the film's poor critical reception: 'Galatfehmi' charted nationally, and Sachin-Jigar's shift toward a ukulele-piano indie-pop aesthetic was noted by music critics as a distinctive artistic evolution from their louder Fukrey-era output.
