Student of the Year 2 Reviews

First love works the first time. Pehla Nasha was the loveliest song of the smitten — at least for those among my generation — and it worked because of its wistfulness, where the idea of falling for someone felt as special as your…

Stupidity of the year!...'Student of the Year 2 has no spunk, no plot and zero charisma

In my review of Student of the Year, I had said that Karans films work as both designer porn and soap opera. Punit gets the designer porn bang on but the drama and emotion is sorely missing.

The problem with the film is that it seems confused – should it be a candyfloss campus flick with hot chicks and hunky dudes or should it be a candyfloss campus flick with sports and tense moments? It ends up being neither.

The dialogues sound like group chats where everyone tries to be the smartest. The songs and dances are unbearably campy.

Student Of The Year 2 is an unbelievably shallow mix of Karan Johar's Student Of The Year and Mansoor Khan's Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, with shaky performances and forgettable songs in an ultra-glamorous setting.

Tiger's acting or plot clichés — what's the worst part of this film?

This is brainlessly breezy fare wrapped in gloss that wears off quickly. It is sad to see such silly stuff being palmed off as teen entertainment.

The Student of the Year franchise is to film-goers what iOS updates are to Apple users the latest one doesnt seem like a big improvement on the last, and nobody asked for a new one yet they keep putting out more.

It follows the traditional format of casting beautiful characters, give them no strong content, make sure they are pleasing to your eyes & pain to your a**.

SOTY 2 doesn’t have that Ishq wala love, but there is ample dosti, high school drama and cool stuff to keep you going.

Overall SOTY2 works because of the earnest performances from all four lead actors who are ably supported by some excellent actors in other side roles -specially Rohan’s Pishori friends.

The piece de resistance of the film is a 60-second appearance by Hollywood superstar Will Smith. Honestly, when he shows up to shake a leg, he dwarfs everyone including apna Tiger.

On the whole, Student Of The Year 2 is not a worthy sequel to SOTY. Yet, it will do fair business at the box-office due to great action, some interesting twists in the plot, and lovely dances.

The running time is too long for what is, essentially, yet-another-buffed-up-version of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander crossed with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
