Ibrahim Ali Khan re-posts 4.5/10 Nadaaniyan IMDb rating after fan crops all the one-star reviews

The process that IMDb uses to calculate ratings is a tad bit complicated. The website does not use the method of arithmetic mean, which is the total number of votes divided by the number of people who voted. Instead, IMDb uses the method of weighted mean. In this process, the votes of certain users might be more valuable than those of others. IMDb’s website states, “To ensure that our rating mechanism remains effective, we do not disclose the exact method used to generate the rating.”

The weighted mean method is deployed when “unusual voting activity” is detected for certain titles.

This post found its way to Reddit, and many users wondered why Ibrahim had spotlighted his debut film’s poor score. One user wrote, “If 75% gave it 10, how is the rating 4.5?” Another user commented, “How did 4.5 become a high rating on that app”? Ibrahim is the son of actors Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh. His sister, Sara Ali Khan, is also an actor.
