The Vigil Idiot: Student Of The Year
Director Karan Johar’s Student of the Year stars his former assistant director Siddharth Malhotra (as Beefcake Abhimanyu), David Dhawan’s son Varun Dhawan (as Beefcake 2 Rohan), and Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter Alia Bhatt (as clueless Shanaya). There’s also a role in there for Boman Irani’s son Kayoze Irani for good measure. Now, I’m all for nepotism in Bollywood. Sometimes, good things can come out of it (the director of this film not being the least of them). Then again, sometimes you get Uday Chopra. This isn’t that bad, honestly. The kids do manage to hold fort admirably enough. That’s more than can be said of the script, though, as you’ll find out soon enough.

Wow. You seriously are really funny. The way you are able to criticize films in the most funniest way is just commendable. Way to Go BUDDY!
Amazingly true reviews…. Desparetly awaiting your reviews for all the latest release..!!
U missed the point where in a race, Abhimanyu has sufficient time to find Ashok Nanda , figure out his expression from so far and decide immediately he wants to lost the race.
Man!! .. this is much more hilarious than what I think movie would be (haven’t watched it yet but now I know what it would be like).

Boss, this stuff is mind-blowing. I was sitting in a lecture and burst out laughing.
By the way, you forgot, the “gay-dean” bit, and the ishw wala love song
Loved your “review”
… but I will admit to enjoying the movie… That’s the thing with KJo movies – you know they will be full of illogical shit but weird as it may be, I still find them fun enough for a one-time watch. But it was great to see the newcomers hold their own in a seriously flawed movie. The eye candies certainly didn’t hurt.
