NDTV reviews the film “Nibba Nibbi,” describing it as a muddled romance that nevertheless aligns with contemporary trends. The review notes that, despite character names evoking “Devdas,” the story does not function as a straightforward remake or adaptation. Instead, it is presented as part of the broader landscape of modern relationship narratives, framed in terms of how romance is portrayed.
In its commentary, NDTV characterizes the film’s tone and narrative approach as falling into “toxic romance” themes, while still being marketed and received through the lens of romantic storytelling. The outlet’s focus centers on how the film uses classic references and expectations around romance and tragedy, then diverges from them in execution. Overall, the review treats the “Devdas-coded” description as a starting point for audience comparison, but concludes that the film’s content and style are not equivalent to the original Devdas narrative framework.
