Student of the year - Glossy

What do you expect in Karan Johar film - Swanky cars, Uber rich lads, designer wears ranging from Savile row, Prada, Gucci, Armani, and Louis vitton, stilletto heeled ladies, english speaking parents, picturesque locations, words like Khaandaan, farz, Mohabbat, Ishq, Dosti etc etc. All these items were present in Student of the Year, the latest offering from Dharma Productions. His first film without SRK and no leading lady or gentleman from Bollywood Khandaan for that matter save that 5 seconds appearance of Kajol. Never look at a serious plot like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, or Tear jerker like kabhi kushi kabhi gham, or enthralling Kuch Kuch Hota Hai in Student of the Year. It is just a campus story and what a campus it was..Girls with tanker tops, shortest of the shorts, Micro minis, Boys with well chiseled body wearing designer wear from Scarves, Jackets, trunks, drive in Ferraris and Audis. The set up a magnificent looking campus where from Auditorium to Classrooms and Swimming pools to Stadium provides a stamp of class. The story is about a contest about winning the title student of the year from the school St Theresas winning various competitions. The love, friendships, betrayals, disappointments, sacrifices, back biting all explained by friends of the leading cast Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt. Karan Johar himself has not taken this film a serious one directed it sportively. Whatelse he can do if the films premise itself based on various sports. The students play volleyball, Basket Ball, and a Triathlon and what else is left with a liberal dosage of dancing and prancing strewn all over. Go with an empty mind for some un adulterated school boyish entertainment you will not be disappointed and will cheer a lot. Parents just for once let the kids do the watching you do the act which you are naturally designed for...care taking...its meant ONLY for them...For the elders await the announcement from Karan Johar with next Shah Rukh Khan movie. A bright debut for the three lead actors with Alia shows much promise for a future heartthrob, with a bikini act and a liplock in the very first movie..Her height may be an obstacle. The other two guys shows promise will go some heights with proper selection of movies. Afterall all movies could not be directed by the man with a midas touch Karan Johar.
