Student of the year



Something about the way love is depicted in the trailers of Student Of The Year says ‘old school’ (all pun intended). The love triangle, the songs, the overall look and feel is extremely mid-90s. The dances from the IT’S THE TIME TO DISCO -ish DISCO DEWANE to MAHI VE-ish RADHA, only with worse music, lyrics and choreography makes you feel Bollywood has gone two steps behind in using music in their films. I thought we had grown past the structured, lip-synced songs. I guess not.
The only ‘new generation’ element then that Student Of The Year can truly boast of is the fact that all characters seems to be smart alecs and they inhabit a cut-throat world. A lot needs to be said about the new age romance portrayed in the trailers though. Doesn’t look like Generation Next has moved on from the mush of Karan Johar films, except for using lousy language, I guess. ‘Ishq wala love’? Really?
And what’s old is being weaned out of its charm. Somehow, the bit you can see of Rishi Kapoor seems like a huge let down and a step back to him big a caricature.
Let’s hope there are some moments that will make sitting through what looks like puppy love worth it. Unlike what you’d expect from a Karan Johar film, the music doesn’t seem to the cut the bill though.

  2. none could portray better romance then Yash Raj in Bollywood industry moreover i don't know what made karan johar think that every slow song can be made a romantic song. With lyrics like ishq wala love, he was going nowhere so he need to get back to basics..!

  3. Knowing it was Karan Johar and 'Dharma Productions' one could expect the sappy, sweet, boy-meets-girl kind of Romance. Definitely Reminiscent of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai although revamped for today's 90210/GossipGirl loving youth.
    I liked the music, though: upbeat and fun - expectant for a romantic bollywood flick.
    The Movie, however, was mediocre and this is coming from someone who adored DDLG and KKHH.
    7/10.
