Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor‘s Nadaaniyan is being panned on social media, with the film’s dialogue getting mercilessly roasted by social media users. It seems the movie’s attempts at witty banter have fallen flat, instead making the audience brand them “stupid”, “dumb”, and – the ultimate insult – “cringe”.

Here are some of the dialogues from Nadaaniyan, which according to the social media users are cringe-worthy.
‘I’m not an AI robot’
One particular scene has left viewers rolling their eyes. The moment when Khushi Kapoor tells Ibrahim Ali Khan, “I feel a lot of things, Arjun. I am not an AI robot, you know!” The moment was meant to be a heartfelt declaration, but instead, it has become a laughingstock online.
This insufferable flirting
In a moment that’s being dubbed as one of the most cringe-worthy by social media users, Ibrahim Ali Khan’s character in Nadaaniyan utters the jaw-dropping phrase: “Tum itni hot ho, ki shayad tum global warming ki wajah ho”. Translated to English, this line reads: “You’re so hot that you’re the reason for global warming”.
This love declaration for Greater Noida
In a scene that’s being widely ridiculed, a character in the film attempts to mock Ibrahim Ali Khan’s character by sneering, “You’re from Greater Noida”. However, instead of delivering a witty comeback, Ibrahim’s character responds with a cringe-worthy retort: “I am from the greatest Noida”.
Sharma-sharma confusion
A particularly silly moment in the film has left social media users aghast. When Khushi Kapoor’s character notices Ibrahim Ali Khan’s hesitation to hold her waist, she shoots back with a question: if his surname is Sharma instead of Mehta. She says, “Tumhara surname Sharma hai kya…nahi na, toh sharma kyun rahe ho waist pakadne mein (Are you a Sharma? No? Then why are you so shy about holding my waist)”.
