This is the first film that Karan Johar has stepped out of his comfort zone and worked with new actors, Siddarth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan.

Every element here from the story and the setting to the music and the packaging is an acknowledged not to mothballed Hindi Cinema conventions.

 Student of the Year, pretty much depends on what perfection you view from, or perhaps how old are you. If nothing else, the director has his target audience set-YOUTH, as it were.

Student of the Year is an updated rehash of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the mushy love triangle that KJo made is directional debut with a decade and a half ago. To tailor if for the times, he throws in mild twist (including stale gay gags may be borrowed from Dostana) for good measure.

All three new comers show ample promise as they play their parts with loudable confidence. At a young age of 19, Alia Bhutt marks a crockling debut. Not only does she look very fresh and beautiful but also acts well. Both Varun and Siddarth too do a marvelous job in looking their parts and playing the awesome.

Rensil D’Silva’s screen play appears to be focused on creating individual scene that let the young stars act cutesy cool, never mind what high-school emotions are being played out. The campus that is as rooted in reality as snowfall would be in the Sahara, their high-school musical, sports, film candy floss, love story rolled into one is about two buddies whose ties of friendship are stretched to snapping point by the small matter of a shot at the Student of the Year trophy and wavering affection. A functional plot gets going with typical adolescent emotions. Love, heartbreak, peer pressure, classroom stress and buddy bonding are given token space as much as is needed to keep the feel good tempo up and running.
