Student of the Year is a 2012 Indian teen film directed by Karan Johar and produced by Dharma Productions and Red Chillies Entertainment.[5] The film features debutantes Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles alongside Rishi Kapoor, Sana Saeed, Ronit Roy, Sahil Anand, Ram Kapoor, and Farida Jalal in supporting roles.
The film was released on 19 October 2012 across India and emerged as a commercial success.[6] It received mixed reviews from critics, with praise directed towards the performances and the film's music, but was criticized for its story and screenplay. At the 58th Filmfare Awards, Student of the Year received 4 nominations including Best Male Debut (Malhotra and Dhawan) and Best Female Debut (Bhatt), and won the R. D. Burman Award for New Music Talent (Neeti Mohan for "Ishq Wala Love").
A standalone sequel titled Student of the Year 2, directed by Punit Malhotra, was released on 10 May 2019, starring Tiger Shroff alongside newcomers Tara Sutaria and Ananya Pandey. Although speculations were rife about the three leads from the original returning for a special appearance, only Bhatt made the cut in a song opposite Shroff.[7]
