Recycle.
I watched Student Of the Year
I saw the three lead actors and thought to myself,'Who are these people?'
This highlights the fact that I am growing old. I can't keep up with the trends of the youth. Things change too fast. Excuse my midlife crisis in between the blogpost. It tends to come out at the oddest times.Mom rolled her eyes,she knew the actors AND the songs. Going for this movie was her idea. Buying the grape fanta slushie was mine. I guess bad decisions are genetic.
So the story goes like this:
There is a School. It's called St. Theresa. The students call it St. T's. The students are intangibly and internally divided into the rich brats and the scholarship students.Hot Guy #1 Rohan is a rich brat (Sob story: Dad doesn't care for him). So is Shanaya(Sob story: her mom re-married). On the other hand, Hot guy#2 Abhimanyu got in through sports scholarship (Sob story: dead parents and throw in a cruel care taker). Their relationship oscillates between friendship,love and enmity.
The story is told through a third person fat guy who is called Pseudo by his friends. I think he is Boman Irani's son. So what happens is there is this competition (vaguely reminded me of the competition in Goblet of Fire) that tests a students capabilities in arts,academics and athletics. Whoever wins it is named Student of The Year and gets a scholarship. The students of St.T's are blinded by the prize, so blinded that they are willing to sacrifice their friendships at the altar of victory. Will their friendship survive the mania?
This movie gets ten points for recycling material. It is the path to a happy eco-system.
Keep up the good work of using the same old formula and clubbing it to death.
Let me enumerate 'the usual suspects' of these type(aka K Jo) movies:
1.The usual glamorous outfits.
2.The usual death scene (someone HAS to die a very emotional death)
3.The usual dance numbers. And this time they took it up a notch and remixed old hindi song. More recycled material.
4. The most usual of the usual...a conflict of love...but they did good job at not dragging it too far I must tell you that. The build up to the conflict was as good as the climax.
Do remember that recycled material brings with it a different freshness. The same goes for the movie,
You are given permission to watch it.
It is not Karan Johar's finest though.
