Student of the Year (2012)

The movie stars Siddharth Milhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt as the main characters, these three are newbies in the acting industry. This movie is directed by the amazing and marvelous director Karan Johar, who also directed and produced the classics KKHH and K3G. The story of this film involves the tragic start of Dean Yoginder Vashisht (Rishi Kapoor) fallen ill, this brings together few students from his final year at St. Theresa's College and they all come to his side during this tragedy. During this time, they all reminisce and remember all the memories from their final year at St. Theresa's. One major event was the 'Student of the Year' competition, which created problems within this friend circle which included the three main characters listed above. Also, this movie shows how it somehow has a similar story to KKHH, since two guys fall for the same girl and in KKHH, it was the same but two girls fell for one guy. In this movie, one of the lovers and the girl do not realize they have feelings for one another. This movie may seem similar to KKHH, but there are many differences and this movie did not live up to the acting and movie altogether since that movie is a classic which cannot be replaced.

This movie, in my opinion had a lot going for itself, since it had new comers like Alia, Siddharth and Varun, good story, not bad music but some things in this movie did seem to be lacking. The music was a hit especially the song titled 'Disco Deewane' and another song titled 'Ishq Wala Love' sung by few singers like Neeti Mohan, it captured the romance between the two couples. The few genres in this movie would be; comedy, romance and drama as well. It had a good ending but once again I think it could have had some better scenes and more could have been added to the story itself of the movie. In my opinion, this movie can be watched only twice maybe more, if it pleases you but I really do think more could have been added to add more like a bit more comedy and another twist to the plot would have helped. Overall, I would give this movie a 6.5/10, since the ups of this movie were; the music, acting by the new actors/actresses, comedy and the dialogue as well.
