Student of the Year Movie Review :

This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 5.3 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 15,415.

Firstly only barring a couple of actors, none of the actors in the movie looked like students. Secondly i could not believe that the movie was set in India. India does have some good schools but this school was really a fantasy.. Talking about the actors the boys were okay in the movie but alia bhatt was there just like a fluff piece in the movie… The songs were good but should not have been a part of the movie coz they only made the movie more long and much more unbearable…. I did have a couple of laughs but they were too far apart… Some advice for Karan Johar – Please make more realistic movies and stop making fairy tales… SOTY was a waste of time and money.

Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 4 star out of 5 Star.
