Karan Johar: Student of the year

After the issue-based, thought proving Blockbuster film My Name is Khan, Karan Johar is back with "Student of the Year". It stars 3 debutant's - Tarun Dhawan (David Dhawan' son), Alia Bhatt (Mukesh Bhatt's daughter) and Siddharth Malhotra. Karan promises that it will be a rom-com and typical candyfloss cinema he is known for! The film is being co produced by Shahrukh Khan. Its interesting to note that Alia and Tarun were not launched by their  dad's own production houses. I guess its a trend as set by Sonam Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor. We look forward to Student of the Year!! and wish Karan Johar that it turns out to be "The movie of the year"!!

Its not everyday when SRK & Gauri sizzle the ramp together for a designer.

Review: Wake Up Sid!

Verdict: Great! Simple, relate able

Star Rating: 4/5

Watch: Theater (Houseful for this one)

Wow - rarely does one come across such a simple sweet coming of age story in Bollywood. It treats an issue delicately without the traditional song n dance routine or melodrama. This is unlike any Karan Johar/ Dharma Production movie, so kodoos to debutant director Ayan Mukherji who at 21 has already proved himself with this movie.

Storyline: Wake Up Sid is the story of Siddharth (Sid-Ranbir Kapoor) - a laid back, "kiddish", worry-free, funloving guy who has just finished college and is in no hurry to transition into the real working world. Pan over to Aisha (Konkona Sen) who has ventured to Mumbai to be independent, Sid's doting parents who would love for him to get serious in life but their patience is getting put to the test, his friends who seem more focused yet are dealing with their own troubles.

Watch: Wake Up Sid's USP is that it strikes a cord with the audience instantly, its associative and realistic in its texture. Even if not with the situation of Sid but with Sid - how he reacts and acts.Ranbir has delivered a fine performance along with the usual best of Konkona Sen. Unlike Lakshaya or other movies the protagonist isn't jolted to change,instead the change is gradual just as for most of us in life. Sometimes all of need time to find ourselves. The songs are good, with "Wake Up Sid" Remix making you leave the theater humming.

Interesting fact:This weekend was a history repeat for Karan Johar (Wake Up Sid) and Vashu Bhagnani (Do Knot Disturb) with great collections at the box office on opening weekend. About 11 years ago, in 1998 Johar 's Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Bhagnani's Bade Miyan Chote Miyan had the same success when they opened on the same weekend.
