Critical reception Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt promoting the movie Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave 4 / 5 stars, saying, `` Student of the Year is a love story that traverses the trodden path. But KJo is an artisan with intellect and taste and he ensures that the script is spruced up and modernized with such elan that it does n't offend the spectator 's wisdom or intelligence. The accomplished director takes on familiar material and gives it an entirely new twirl. This is escapist cinema at its best ! On the whole, Student of the Year is amongst Karan Johar 's most accomplished works. The youth brigade would love it and those who have already passed that age would want to revisit those days. This one 's entertainment, entertainment and entertainment at its best. Clearly, KJo has a winner on hands, yet again ! '' Komal Nahta also gave it 4 / 5 calling it a `` supremely entertaining '' movie. Raedita Tandon of Filmfare gave it a 4 / 5 stars stating `` All in all, Karan 's SOTY world is surreal and spectacular yet it has moments that will bring you back to reality and warm the cockles of your heart. This is escapism at its best. '' Joginder Tuteja of Indiaglitz gave the movie 4 / 5 stars and commented, `` With a fun outing like Student of the Year, Karan Johar has proven once again that he can fluctuate between making a relatively serious film like ' My Name Is Khan ' and come back to candy floss youth entertainer in the mode of ' Kuch Kuch Hota Hai '. With an eye on some lavish entertainment translating on screen and bringing new talent to the industry, ' Student of the Year ' is a winner. '' Madhureeta Mukherjee of The Times of India gave the film 3.5 / 5 stars, stating that `` Student of the Year takes you back to your books and sinks you in true - blue Bollywood syllabus, following the ' formula ' -- Two boys, one girl, one glorious trophy and lots of testosterone. It is larger - than - life, colourful, lavish, beautifully shot and directed. With medleys, dance, drama and everything good - looking ( from cast to couches, dorms to discos ). '' Indicine gave it 3.5 / 5 stars, commenting `` Overall, there is n't a dull moment in Student of the Year. It has something in it for everyone -- romance, action, entertainment, good performances and catchy music. Go for it. '' Social Movie rating site MOZVO gave it a score of 3.7 / 5 putting it in the recommended category. Rajeev Masand of IBNLive gave it 3 / 5 stars and wrote, `` Nitpickings aside, this is a breezy, enjoyable film by a director who knows his craft. '' He remarked, `` If fun is what you 're seeking, you wo n't be disappointed. '' Giving the film 3 / 5 stars, Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times wrote, `` Karan Johar 's forte is excess. He creates fantastical worlds brimming with beautiful people and expensive things and yet anchors them in high emotion. His films work as both designer porn and soap opera. '' She also praised the performance of the cast. Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave 3 / 5 stars, commenting that `` Student of the Year is no Kuch Kuch Hota Hai but Karan Johar makes it look good. '' Rubina A Khan of The First Post gave the film 3 / 5 stars, stating that `` Student of the Year is not KJo 's finest work. Sure, it 's got all the elements of finesse and expansive production values that his films are known for, but he has also been very pivotal in directing and producing films with engaging stories in the past. '' Nabanita of Oneindia gave it 3 / 5 commenting `` Student of the Year is a youthful and interesting movie that deserves a thumps up. Three cheers for this. '' India Today also gave the film a rating of 3 / 5. Sify awarded it 3 / 5 stars saying, `` So there you have it -- a fun, frothy film that wo n't insult your intelligence and sensibility. Worth a watch ! '' Roshni Devi of Koimoi gave it 2.5 / 5 stars, praising the performances. Kanika Sikka of DNA India gave 2.5 / 5 stars, concluding that `` Student of the Year is not something you would want to miss if the surreal setting with bubble gum romance is your calling. The performances make this film a great watch. '' Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the film 2.5 / 5 stars, commenting that `` Student of the Year definitely is n't the film of the year. But if you like your entertainment to be served up with glitzy but pulpy garnishing, pirouette your way to the nearest screen by all means. '' Ananya Bhattacharya of Zee News gave the film 2 / 5 stars, saying that `` Student of the Year is worth a watch only for the debutantes. They have really pulled off a tough task of playing praiseworthy roles in a film which suffers from the lack - of - a-story syndrome. '' Home media A two - disc DVD set was released on 24 December 2012 which contains making of the film, song, and deleted scenes. Bollywood Hungama gave the DVD 4 / 5 stars.
