Watch Student of the Year With Me Here in 30 Minutes!

Posted on April 10, 2020 by mredlich21

Woo-hoo! In 30 minutes, 3pm Chicago time, I will start commenting on this post as I watch the film and you can comment along with me.

Reminder! SOTY is only available on the ErosNow Prime channel, which is HORRIBLE. Instead of subscribing to it (faulty subtitles, movies that don’t play, really not worth it), you can just rent the movie on youtube from the link below for $2.99. Or on googleplay, same price.

See you all right here in half an hour!

  If this movie was actually deep, they would actually explore that explanation of his sexuality.

Apparently I can’t tell the difference between Varun’s six pack and Sids, I was just telling my son the man coming out of the water was Sid, but then they showed his face and I was wrong.

In a movie with more time for Alia, they would have dug into the “child of divorce who resists breaking up with her first boyfriend” conflict. But no time for that! We need more young men in speedos!

I watched the Radha music video on YouTube before I watched the movie, and that’s what got me interested in watching the movie in full. It’s still my favorite song from the soundtrack.
Also Sid in blue, my God.

also, this is when Karan and SRK had their “coolness”, at one point it was rumored that he would cameo in this film and then it didn’t happen because of “coolness”. But I am POSITIVE it was supposed to be in this song, probably the bit Rishi ends up doing.

I think I also watched the wedding scene before I watched the movie in full and was just amazed at the skill of the direction and acting that they could convey so much, I was easily able to pick up on dynamics, situations, and feelings without any dialogue whatsoever. Karan, Sid, Varun, and Alia all deserve so much credit just for this one scene.

  Yes! Karan doesn’t get enough credit in general for how he edits and moves the camera and characters to tell the story. It’s not arty or classy, it’s all for relationship dramas, but it is also SUPER HARD and Karan is very good at it.
