After watching Student Of The Year I never thought that Alia will receive all this critical acclaim but Varun was definitely the one to watch out for after his debut. Both of them have proved themselves but was it enough. Lets take a closer look!
I never saw DDLJ as a good movie but thought of it as a no-brainer. But HSKD is a good movie and not a suitable tribute to DDLJ(according to the fans). But according to me HSKD and Shashank Khaitan may succeed in presenting a pretty decent example of today's youth and their (mis)adventures in love. HSKD may not be a classic or a legend but excels in entertaining in some sequences but fails in some.
Varun and Alia are the focus of the film and succeed in making us laugh. Siddarth Shukla is given a rather tiny role which was meant to be the hero cum villain of movie. But supporting actors such as Kenneth Dasai and Sahil Vaid are the ones to watch out from the 'Ladkewalas' whereas Ashutos Rana and Mahnaz Damania do total justice to their roles even after their characters are half-baked. Music is entertaining, screenplay and dialogs are full paisa-vaisool
and tickle your funny bone. But hats off to Shashank Khaitan for all the researching and the sharp direction. Overall, it is a family entertainer that is somewhere between watchable and good.
