Key opinion
Student of the Year is generally viewed as a polished, visually stunning piece of commercial entertainment that excels at creating a vibrant campus atmosphere. While opinions on the depth of the narrative and the quality of the lead performances are divided, most audiences agree that it serves as a nostalgic and engaging coming-of-age spectacle.
| Production | The film features high-end, glossy cinematography and production design that create an attractive, European-influenced campus aesthetic. | |
| Acting | The performances of the male leads, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra, are widely praised for their charisma, chemistry, and successful debut. | |
| Score | The musical numbers are considered catchy and memorable, though critics and some viewers feel there are simply too many of them. | |
| Screenplay | The narrative is described as predictable and thin, leaving viewers divided between those who appreciate its simple, youth-oriented entertainment and those who find it shallow. | |
| Acting | Alia Bhatt's performance is a point of contention; some see her character as a stylish, well-acted debut, while others find the role superficial or irritating. |
