Scored from 62 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
Sumer Singh Dhillon and Tanie Brar meet as students and become inseparable best friends, until a kiss unsettles a bond neither of them is willing to rename and the friendship fractures. The ZEE5 series moves between their college years in London and the present day, when circumstances put them back in each other's lives and force both to account for what was left unsaid. Adapted from Sumrit Shahi's novel of the same name, the Hindi-language romantic drama stars Nakuul Mehta and Anya Singh.
Released in 2020, Never Kiss Your Best Friend is a romance television series. It was made in India. Its listed language is Hindi.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s television series — 3,070 of them. Only 62 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 207 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Never Kiss Your Best Friend lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2020s (3,070 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 62.
