Karan Johar and 3 new faces. What can you expect? Blah! And yes "Blah!" is delivered.
SOTY (keeping it short) "introduces" Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. What's interesting is that I went to watch this movie with my friend (Siddharth) and before the movie we were just discussing about the prospects of it being a story of our lives but nah..It wasn't. Alia Bhatt interested me when the trailers were out. And after the movie, I have no interest in her.
The basic plot as it reads is pretty basic. 3+ friends are in the race for the "SOTY" at St. Teresa's school of the "elderly". Obviously, the movie didn't state that. People going to this school are probably drop-outs ageing 20+ and have come to start school yet again.
It's a typical Mohabbatein kinda film, only that the actors playing the okay-ish characters performed well in SOTY. Each one of them had their own persona. I think this was the only 'plus' in the movie.
Like any other KJo movie, this does have enough amounts of "Rona..Dhona..Jealousy..and a parent who doesn't love his son".
Music by Vishal Shekar is pretty mediocre with some interesting remixes here and there.
Dialogues by Niranjan Iyengar are funny and perfect for the screenplay. I think his work stands next to the actors in SOTY.
Talking about acting, Rishi Kapoor plays a Gay dean and he plays it so awesomely. His role is worth mentioning and deserves applause.
I heard voices of "Shit".."Uff".."WTF" while the screen showed six packs and certain body angles of the male protagonists and I just thought to myself that every movie has some hot girl dancing to give us the "ooohs and aahs", so why not girls have their time. Its their right to have fun too..
SOTY is not that pathetic but to an extent it is..
Rating: 2/5
SOTY: Better than Expected
