Movie Review : Student Of The Year

Student Of The Year Raedita Tandan , Oct 19, 2012, 11:56 IST

Student of the year.

Director: Karan Johar Cast: Sidharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Rishi Kapoor, Ronit Roy, Ram Kapoor Think of a quintessential Karan Johar film and opulence, grandeur, style and candy floss emotions come to mind. Not to forget, the song-and-dance extravaganzas with a lavish sprinkling of stars. And Student Of The Year is just that albeit the stars. But that doesn’t seem to affect the film because Karan manages to engage you from the word go with the right dose of humour, emotions and drama. Student Of The Year (SOTY) traces the life of Abhimanyu Singh (Sidharth Malhotra), a small town boy with a big ambition, Rohan Nanda (Varun Dhawan) – a rich kid, who is emotionally messed up because of a complex relationship with his father (Ram Kapoor) and Shanaya Singhania (Alia Bhatt), the girl every boy is in love with and every girl aspires to be in high school – popular, rich and gorgeous. Rohan and Shanaya are childhood sweethearts in a tricky relationship (Rohan has quite the roving eye) and among the popular students of St. Teresa’s High School or St. T’s as it is fondly called. But things seem to go awry for all when Abhimanyu enters and ego clashes between the two boys play havoc. But after a series of verbal spats followed by a few practical jokes and some heartwarming moments, the two become thick as thieves. Amidst all this, the much coveted Student Of The Year competition, founded by gay Dean Yogendra Vashisth (Rishi Kapoor, who’s track with coach Ronit Roy is amongst the highlights of the film), keeps everyone busy. But things get messy when Abhimanyu falls for Shanaya and she reciprocates to his feelings. Healthy competition turns into revenge as Rohan and Abhimanyu grapple with their emotions. Even though SOTY is a high-school drama, at no point in the film does Karan offend the audiences intelligence. Every scene in the film engrosses you. While he takes familiar material, it’s his modern take that makes SOTY a special film. Among the performances, Sidharth, Varun and Alia do their best not to seem like newcomers and they emerge triumphant. Sidharth’s restraint is impressive. Varun is charming; his brilliant dancing skills deserve a special mention. And Alia definitely has what it takes to be a star. The three make confident debuts. Vishal-Shekhar’s foot-tapping compositions keep you in your seats. You’re not going to want to buy popcorn during these songs! Kajol’s cameo in Disco Deewane is sure to get the whistles. The cinematography and styling make this one helluva good-looking film. A few scenes deserve special mention – the nail-biting climax of the competition, a silent sequence with just music playing in the background, Rishi Kapoor drooling over John Abraham’s six-pack body and his fantasizing moments with Ronit Roy.  Karan deserves brownie points for a brilliant supporting cast. Kayoze Irani (Boman Irani’s son) stands out. Ram Kapoor does a fabulous job as the selfish businessman and bad father. His performance makes you feel sorry for Rohan, who subconsciously craves his dad’s approval through most of the film.  All in all, Karan’s SOTY world is surreal and spectacular yet it has moments that will bring you back to reality and warm the cockles of your heart. This is escapism at its best. Oh and girls, there’s enough brawn to keep you drooling!

Student of the Year Reviews

Not only is Student of the Year cinematically stale, but it's also politically dishonest.

If you have patience and a taste for the overblown, check it out...

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 10, 2019

Karan deserves brownie points for a brilliant supporting cast.

The trouble with Student Of The Year is that it doesn't even feel as if it is trying for novelty, despite the brand-new talent it showcases.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 22, 2019

Student of the Year is a merry jaunt that allows us brief respite from the rigours of daily life to take a fun frolic in Johar's rainbow-hued, Prada world, where the beautiful people reign.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2017

Not every film needs to have meaning, or a larger message, but it does need a story. Student of the Year is all about the clothes, the brawn and the glamour, but not much else.

Student Of The Year Review

Star Cast: Sidharth Malhotra , Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Rishi Kapoor, Sana Saeed, Ram Kapoor, Kajol (guest appearance).

What’s Good: The performances; the direction; the humour.

What’s Bad: The unbelievable portrayal of students; the hamming; the ridiculous explanations in the climax.

Loo break: None.

Watch or Not?: If you’re a fan of Karan Johar’s fare, you’ll definitely enjoy all the dance-drama. Otherwise it’s just like a re-hashed version of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai .

Student Of The Year makes no qualms about being an “escapist” movie. One of the characters introduces the school where all the action takes place – St Teresa – as “…not a normal school. A world in its own.”

This is Karan Johar’s fantasy land on his canvas, so you have the rich douchebag Rohan Nanda (Varun Dhawan) who (predictably) has daddy issues. With his father (Ram Kapoor) being one of the donors for the school, he has a posse of guys who hang on to his every word. While his rich, hot and spoilt girlfriend Shanaya (Alia Bhatt) hankers for his attention, he still keeps wandering to the other hottie Tanya (Sana Saeed).

When poor-orphan-with-a-scholarship, Abhimanyu (Sidharth Malhotra) joins the school, he threatens Rohan’s fiefdom. But soon the duo warm up to each other and become good friends. Heck, Abhimanyu even helps Rohan win back Shanaya after she throws a hissy fit, though Abhimanyu loves her!

Then dean Yogendra (Rishi Kapoor) announces the Student Of The Year competition and all hell breaks loose. Friendships are threatened, fistfights follow and there is lots of love lost.

Watch the movie to find out who wins.

Student Of The Year Review: Script Analysis

The story for the movie is very rudimentary: two guys in love with the same girl and the same trophy (note: aforementioned girl and trophy aren’t the same.) Even if you make many exceptions for the story – with all the repeated stereotypes – nothing disappoints you like the pathetic explanations in the end. The outburst at the climax deserved to be much stronger. Maybe St T’s (as we’re supposed to call this institution) is based in some wonderland where everyone comes to school in designer clothes (including Abhimanyu, whom we are led to believe belongs to the lower economic ‘Bata’ club) and Mercedes Benzs to school, but this la-la-land also doesn’t require a minimum age for a driving license or for drinking alcohol in clubs/discos. Then there are the parts which are just for the sake of making you go “Aww…” like Abhimanyu’s grandmother’s illness. But the humour quotient is bang on.

Rensil Dsilva’s screenplay is alright but Niranjan Iyengar’s dialogues are pretty good.

Student Of The Year Review: Star Performances

With three big debutantes in the movie, it is a bit difficult to pick and choose, but my vote goes for Sidharth Malhotra as Abhimanyu. He’s the sweet charming boy who steals your heart with his sighs. Varun Dhawan does very well as the spoilt brat but there are a few places where he needs to buck up. Alia Bhatt ends up with a very dumb-blonde role who has to do standard ramp poses for the camera but she performs ably. Undoubtedly, Varun is the best dancer among all three.

Rishi Kapoor is perfect as the closet-gay dean. Sana Saeed only gets to pout and flaunt her body as Tanya. Ram Kapoor is very good as the latent villain. Kajol’s guest appearance is a pleasant surprise (though I would have loved it if Shah Rukh Khan had a special act as a guest teacher or something).

Student Of The Year Review: Direction, Music & Technical Aspects

Karan Johar’s direction is very good but flounders with the script. Cinematography by Ayananka Bose is sleek. Deepa Bhatia’s editing is very good. The lyrics are pretty lazy; Ishq Wala Love   gives you an idea that there’s not much effort into it. Vishal-Shekhar’s music is very youthful, and sometimes nuanced.

Student Of The Year Review: The Last Word

Student Of The Year has some really earnest performances and entertaining comedy scenes. Other than that it’s a staple Karan Johar affair: ridiculous in parts and dramatic in others.

Student Of The Year Trailer

Student Of The Year released on 19th October, 2012.

Four movies and 14 OTT releases lined up for this week

HYDERABAD: For the last couple of weeks, several small-budget films were released at the theatres. The trend continues this week too but a few films have actors acquainted to the audience already.

BIG SCREEN RELEASES

Let us take a sneak peek into what is in store at theatres this week.

Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam

A young government official tries to prove that one who confronts injustice is much stronger than a hooligan threatening others. The story of "Itlu Maredumilli Prajaneekam" revolves around an election officer posted in a tribal area and what he does for their upliftment. Allari Naresh, under the direction of A.R. Mohan, essayed the role of the protagonist in this film. The film is scheduled for release on November 25.

Bhediya (Thodelu)

How would it be if a man accidentally turns into a wolf? Will he regain his old form? What sort of troubles would he face due the change in his form? With an interesting story that can keep you glued to the screen, Bhediya features Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles and is ready for release on November 25. In Telugu, the movie is being released as 'Thodelu' helmed by ace producer Allu Aravind. Amar Kaushik is the director of the film.

Tamil movie 'Love Today', a superhit in Kollywood, was readied for the Telugu audience by ace producer Dil Raju and will be released on November 25 with the same title. Pradeep Ranganathan acted in the film under his own direction and it was a blockbuster in Tamil. Ivana is the female lead in the film and music was scored by Yuvan Shankaraja.

With Dharma and Chandini Rao as the lead pair, Ranasthali is scheduled for release on November 26. Parasuram Srinivas, the writer of Ashwadhama, made his debut as the director for this movie produced by Anupama Sureddy. The film will give a totally new experience to the audience and the violence shown in the movie would give a new perspective to the viewers. The director exhibited his skills in transforming the story into an engaging movie on the celluloid, say the film's team. Do watch the movie to know about those involved in the war (ranam) and for what they waged it.

Student Of The Year Movie Review

• Times Of India

Story: The tracks are ready and the race is on. What’s at stake? Love, friendship and the coveted ‘Student of the Year’ trophy. Movie Review: It’s KJo-Wala Love! Served fresh and piping hot from the Dharma college canteen of romance. And it’s a high (class) school that you’d never want to miss a lecture of, ever. Except that it has its own set of Karan rules. Read the prospectus: 1. Leave your text-books at home but ensure you’re carrying your designer bags and heels. 2. Drive a Ferrari to school, or if you’re poorer, take a bike. 3. Dating, mating, separating and love lessons shall be part of the syllabus. 4. Girls, don your shortest minis, and guys, rip off the shirts. Welcome to St. Teresa’s. Rest assured, it’ll be a well-rounded entertainment experience. movie ST is run by a happy and ‘gay’ Dean - Yogendra Vashisth (Rishi), who drools over John Abraham, and when he sees the much-married hot coach (Ronit Roy) usko ‘coach coach’ hota hai!. The hotshot student of the school is rich brat Rohan Nanda (welcoming Varun Dhawan), who zips around in his hot-wheels, flirts, and dreams of being a Rockstar. His childhood sweetheart, another super rich kid, Shanaya (super filmy intro, Alia! Alia! Alia!), is Ms. Popularity and Drama Queen (don’t miss the red pout) known for her brands and beauty. Enter (grandly) Abhimanyu (Sidharth), a middle-class boy with mega dreams, a chalta-phirta KBC (Mr Know-it-all), and the in-house Milkha Singh. There’s a typical rich-poor division in school, the Richie Rich Tatas v/s the bechara gareeb Batas. But with Abhimanyu’s entry the competition heats up - With both boys showing ample abs & attitude (teeny-weeny trunks, for all you drooling women!), chasing the same gal (Shanaya), and aiming for the same trophy – Student of the Year! Their equations from friends-to-foes changing quicker than their school grades. Their muscles rippling more than their egos; the competition gets tougher and the boys - leaner and meaner. Their loyal friends adding chaos to campus – Eg. Tanya who tries everything in the ‘date- bait-book’ to seduce Rohan (including push-up bras); the Parsi ‘Pseudo’ - the ‘minority report’-card in this bunch; Jeetu - Rohan’s chamcha ; tomboy Shruti - Shanaya’s other half (minus her designer do). This is what we call grandiose debut(s)!!! Karan’s definitely swooshed his cane for this one. The trio has done him proud and has set a high ‘bench-mark’. Varun expresses and emotes with superb confidence and storms the dance floor with swag. Sidharth stands equally tall, has amazing screen presence and is man of few words and many smouldering emotions. Alia wins your heart with her cuteness, effervescence and naivete. Yes, she reminds you of Kareena’s Poo days (with all that oomph), but she comes into her own. The chemistry between the three (even outside the lab) grows on you. Shabhash! SOTY’s supporting cast is brilliant, each have favourite subjects and score high in those areas. But the star who scores a straight A-Plus is undoubtedly Rishi Kapoor – simply superb. The other guy who can take a bow is the director. The film is full of KJo-isms – it’s larger-than-life, colourful, lavish, beautifully shot and directed. With medleys, dance, drama and everything good-looking (from cast to couches, dorms to discos). Vishal-Shekhar have caught the right beat with this high-school musical, and the songs are as fresh as the leads. The story is simple and entertains throughout, though it’s not the first time this marathon of an idea has run past the screen. ‘SOTY’ takes you back to your books and sinks you in true-blue Bollywood syllabus, following the ‘formula’ - Two boys, one girl, one glorious trophy and lots of testosterone. If this one doesn’t pump you up with nostalgia, it’s time for you to go back to school already!

Director Trivikram Srinivas had officially announced it in May 2021 under the tentative title SSMB28. It also marks the third collaboration between Trivikram and Mahesh Babu, after Athadu and Khaleja.

Middle Class Love movie review: Student of the Year, with a desi touch

Middle class love movie review: like in most bollywood movies set in these kinds of ‘schools’, no studying is done, instead the setting is just an excuse for good-looking teenagers to learn life lessons..

Middle Class Love movie cast: Prit Kamani, Kavya Thapar, Eisha Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Sapna Sand, Sanjay Bishnoi Middle Class Love movie director: Ratnaa Sinha Middle Class Love movie rating: 2 stars

Mussoorie-based middle-class boy Yudi (Prit Kamani) wants the world on a platter: fancy school, smart togs, an out-of-his-league-gal as his girlfriend. Above all, he wants to be cool. Unlike his family, where everyone counts their pennies – mum (Sapna Sand) makes tiffin to order, older brother (Sanjay Bishnoi) gives tuitions, and daddy-o (Manoj Pahwa) gets off from a rickshaw much ahead of his destination, while lecturing sonny boy on the virtues of saving.

The very exclusive Oakwood High is Yudi’s destination, where he sets his eyes on It Girl Saisha (Kavya Thapar), who floats about in expensive cars, and co-ordinated sets. The third angle of this triangle is the stand-offish Aish (Eisha Singh) who starts to thaw when Yudi trains a calculated charm offensive on her. Meanwhile, like in most Bollywood movies set in these kinds of ‘schools’, no studying is done, and no assignments are worked at, because the setting is just an excuse for good-looking teenagers to learn life lessons, when they are not doing Zumba.

Watch  Middle Class Love movie trailer:

The predictable plot drives all its points home in pretty much the way we expect it to. It’s all very ‘Student Of The Year’ with a desi touch, lent by Yudi’s rooted-in-its-values family. Being cool is highly overrated. Being a good son who knows where he is coming from is really where it’s at. Nothing wrong with these beats, but you wish the execution would be fresh: Yudi has a best friend who wants to be a rapper, but who gets screen time only when he has to prop up the protagonist’s arc. The girls, who have known each other much before Yudi came into their lives, need him to fix things. Clearly Yudi is just like the hero of yore who drives the film.

The newcomers bring in welcome freshness. Kamani reigns in cutesiness to stay real, and uses his cheesy dialogues well; and Thapar and Singh do their job. But, as always, it is the veterans (Pahwa, Sand) who hold things together, beaming through The Big Speech where hard-working dads and mums are declared the real superheroes.

Bollywood star hero Varun Dhawan has now come up with a unique concept film Bhediya. The film is dubbed and released in Telugu as Thodelu by Geetha Arts. Kriti Sanon is the female lead. The film hit the screens today, and let’s see how it is.

Bhaskar (Varun Dhawan), a civil engineer and a road contractor, gets a road project in the interior forest area of Arunachal Pradesh by convincing his boss. He pledges his assets as a guarantee and moves to Arunachal Pradesh along with his cousin JD (Abhishek Banerjee). After reaching there, Bhaskar gets bitten by a wolf which makes him evolve into the creature gradually. He is taken to the veterinary doctor Anika (Kriti Sanon) for treatment. Did Bhaskar become normal? What sort of challenges did he face due to this? Were JD and Anika able to save Bhaskar? Watch the movie to know the answers.

Plus Points:

The film’s concept is unique, making it the first creature-comedy film in India. The makers need special applause for trying something different. An even more good thing is roping in a star hero for this subject which surely boosts the range of the film, and thus the casting was spot on. A good number of thrilling moments and sequences have been conceived with perfection.

Varun Dhawan gave an award-worthy performance by portraying the Bhaskar role to perfection. As a person bitten by a wolf, he gave a fantastic performance and beautifully emoted the pain inside him. There was a lot of physical transformation needed for the role, and one can easily notice the efforts put in by the actor for the film. Kriti Sanon, as Anika, got a nice role and gave a good performance as well.

The story is set nicely from the starting scene without wasting much time. One more biggest advantage of the film is its entertainment quotient. We get a fair amount of comedy portions in both halves that will tickle our bones. The entertainment was carried throughout, and whenever the film went off track, the makers tried to balance it with humor.

Abhishek Banerjee, who did some serious roles in the past, got a chance to show his comedy angle here. As Varun’s cousin, he is superb, and the actor evoked good laughs with his expressions and dialogues. The actor’s capability is nicely used by the makers here in terms of humor. Others also were good in their respective roles.

Minus Points:

The film has its share of flaws too. The movie gets slow in a few places, and there are also a few boring scenes that could have been trimmed down. Especially in the second half, the tempo comes down, and then the momentum picks up only from the pre-climax.

One would expect more depth in the proceedings after a good first half, but that wasn’t maintained after the interval. The key twist of the movie could have been executed in an even better fashion, and it becomes easily predictable due to the addition of a couple of scenes. The makers could have omitted these scenes for the surprise element to strike a chord.

Also, the movie becomes a bit routine toward the end, and hence the overall feel of the film comes down a bit. The violence portions were heavy, and a scene, particularly in the first half, was irritating to see.

Technical Aspects:

The movie’s VFX is nicely done, and the 3D effects were also exquisite. The 3D effects were stunning in a few scenes, enhancing the viewing experience. These scenes were nicely supported by the background score of the Sachin-Jigar duo. The songs were fine. The Telugu dubbing was nicely done.

The cinematography by Jishu was good in capturing the forest and lovely locations of Arunachal Pradesh. The editing is just about okay. The production values are fine. Coming to director Amar Kaushik, he did a decent job with Thodelu (Bhediya). The way he mixed the entertainment angle into this story was nice, and the way he incorporated a social message in the film seemed good. However, he could have been careful regarding the vital twist and the second half, which restricted the film’s overall range.

On the whole, Thodelu is a one-time watchable film backed by a social message. Varun Dhawan’s spectacular performance, comedy scenes, and supporting cast are the main advantages. But, on the flip side, slowness in places, a bit of predictability, and a below-par second hour are its flaws. Regardless, the fun and message portions make the film a decent watch this weekend.
