Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Suman Shakya Aditya Chopra made "Mohobbatein" after "DDLJ," which was much inspired by "Dead Poet's Society". Similarly, Karan Johar tries to bring a high school musical "Student of the Year" after the success of his romantic musicals like "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam" and "Kabhi Albida Na Kehna." But unfortunately, "Student of the Year" nowhere touches the feel of a high school drama. It just presents a very superficial story with very passable and unrealistic characters. They story hasn't succeeded to depict a high school story nor a good romantic story. The new actors fail to create a freshness due to the unnatural or the half baked story the film develops. Instead, they appear brash and annoying. You just wonder what the hell the central theme was and where the story is going. (Was it about the rivalry between students for a trophy, a love triangle, or sorting a family drama.) As a result, none of the stories gets to develop thoroughly. The hit songs and production values just coat the weak film as a thin layer of caramel which tries to grip you a bit though you won't love it much. Well, except for few foot tapping songs like "Disco Deewane" I won't remember the film for anything else.Rating: 1 star out of 4

Namra Syed Hussain Student of the Year- 2012 Director: Karan JoharOne film of 90's 'Kuch kuch hota hai' Directed by Karan Johar and now its Student of the year! Hell of a difference! I mean who makes a three hours movie on just playing games? The new comers Alia Siddharth and Varun were very Good but what was the story?? One can sleep while watching student of the year. When I was watching the movie I was wondering what struck Karan's mind that he decided to use his creativity this way? The songs were Good. Location was amazing but off course again what a stupid story line. At least I wont recommend anyone to watch this movie, instead I would suggest to have a Good sleep rather watching this. Three hours of Nonsense! KJ please make films like you used to.

vinny2601 i watched this film and i don't have words to.criticize such a terrible film characters are not understandable no acting skill same boring cast not even a single guy is worth watching. lead actors can only impress school going children one more thing ve u seen the actress i think the makeup artists have to work very hard just to make her look like actress don't understand the script what happened to director is he OK wonderful boring story&cast if IMDb ve something like to.rate 0then i ll give it 0rating the rating is only due to.locations Dir used a boring film maybe good for rookie audience i recommend not to watch movie if u haven't see it yet cuz after watching u will be criticizing this film like me.don't know why i m typing for such a creepy film cuz comments only occur for worse and for best.

Rehman Khilji Student of the year is purely in every way a KARAN JOHAR flick. Karan Johar yet again was the best as he is, however, there were few flaws in the movie. Karan Johar movies must have a rich family involved, otherwise most of the scenes would never make a sense. Similarly, this movie is about a Rich student, a poor student and their friendship. Typically again, the poor wants to be rich and rich kid is having an unsatisfied father. The characters have done great justice with their roles. Aliya Bhatt was looking amazing in the songs however, her acting skills were not that impressive. But since she is from the Bhatt Clan, much can be expected from her in future. (Bhatt family is keeping up with the kissing scene part ;). The main problem with the movie is that Abhimanyo is suppose to be a kid from a poor family background, making it to a high ranking school upon scholar ship. But through out the movie, his clothes, accessories and everything which revolves around his character does not portray anything which can display him as a person from a poor family. Big Blunder on Karan Johar's part. You have to show the poor kid poor dude, adding two scene's of his family having a regular dinner on a dinning table does not make him poor. Like the clothes he wear, the swim suit, his bicycle his clothes, Ray Ben glasses, like come on...!! show him a bit poor. Aliya Bhaat have done justice, she worked fine in role of a spoil depressed rich kid, but as stated she was giving fine looks in the songs but not otherwise. Dhawan, was the pick of the movie, although i am afraid non of these actors might have a very good run in Bollywood, but they are a good addition. All the songs are rocking, something like which you can hear over and over again. Karan Johar should also have a invited Shahrukh for an appearance with Kajol.!!! The songs have been very well choreographed and use of three/four choreographer have put a different spice to the movie, each one have their own different style. Rishi Kapoor in an a sort of GAY Principal is simply excellent, Rishi Sir hats of to you for choosing such role in this age...!! You have truly shown that after all you are Ranhbir's father..!! Nevertheless, a nice movie, a good choice to see over the weekend. Songs are brilliant. Rest in short a karan johar's richie rich movie. something not happening in real life. The biggest disagreement i had was with the ending of the movie. All the friends should have remained single and in the end they should have shown that friendship is much more greater then love. Shanaya marrying Abhi was not a good deal. Abhi role was of a selfish, cheap arrogant person. Rest of the supporting actors were good at their respective place.
