Hai Junoon X Review: Is Neil Nitin Mukesh's College Drama 

Hai Junoon X, now streaming on JioHotstar, brings together music, competition, and emotion in a college drama that resonates with today’s youth. Set in the fictional Andersons College in Mumbai, the show revolves around two rival music clubs — the rule-following SuperSonics, led by the intense Gagan Ahuja (Neil Nitin Mukesh), and the rebellious Misfits, guided by the passionate Pearl Saldhana (Jacqueline Fernandez).

Storyline

At the heart of the story is Sebi (Sumedh Mudgalkar), a talented and determined dancer who joins the Misfits. As he challenges the existing norms of the campus and dares to dream big, the series explores how heart, grit, and individuality can sometimes outshine raw talent and tradition.

Performance & Direction

Neil Nitin Mukesh delivers a solid performance as a perfectionist torn between his past and present. Jacqueline brings a refreshing energy to her role as a mentor who believes in breaking stereotypes. The chemistry between the cast and their passion for music and dance make the show engaging throughout.

Director Abhishek Sharma manages to blend storytelling with over 40 original songs, all composed by Shankar Mahadevan. The music isn’t just background — it’s a driving force in the characters’ emotional journeys.

Verdict

While Hai Junoon X follows familiar themes like rivalry, youth struggle, and ambition, its musical soul and heartfelt performances make it stand out. It’s an ideal pick for viewers who enjoy vibrant college dramas with a rhythmic pulse.
