Movie Review: Student of the Year (2012) by Hanaa Haleem
Ever walked into the study hall and saw everybody looking “runway ready” despite it being exam season? Well, this is how characters appear in the bollywood movie, Student of the Year, featuring the well known actors Varun Dhawan (Rohan), Sidharth Malhotra (Abhimanyu) and Ali Bhatt (Shanaya).
The story revolves around the three main characters above who all compete for the “Student of the Year” trophy. As easy as it may seem for Rohan, the son of a rich business tycoon, things do not go as planned as he does not use it to his best advantage. In competitions like this, friendships break, relationships get complicated, and jealousy gets intense. As it may not seem like a deep moral, I honestly felt quite motivated after watching this as I was alert to never take my resources for granted, especially if put under low expectations.
If you think quite deep into small things, this movie may be emotional for you, but it is mainly filled by its entertaining, humor-filled, unserious scenes, and ties back into its main themes of competition and friendship. If you are a big fan of early 2000s movies like Mean Girls or High School Musical, then definitely give this movie a try as you get a taste into the lives of rich school kids in Bollywood competing like there is a never-ending reward.
