and
Red
Chillies
Entertainment's
combined
production
The
Student
of
the
Year
(
SOTY)
will
be
releasing
on
19th
October,
2012.
The
movie
marks
the
debut
of
Varun
Dhawan
(son
of
David
Dhawan),
Sidharth
Malhotra
and
Alia
Bhatt
(daughter
of
Mahesh

STORY:
Directed
by
Karan
Johar,
SOTY
is
a
coming-of-age
story
that
tracks
the
myriad
emotions
one
goes
through
while
on
way
from
youth
to
adulthood.
It
is
the
story
of
Abhimanyu
Singh
(Sidharth
Malhotra)
and
Rohan
Nanda
(Varun
Dhawan),
who
traverse
the
path
of
competition,
envy,
triumph,
failure,
manipulation
and
heartbreak
in
their
mini-universe
of
St
Teresa's
High
School,
Dehradun.
Things
turn
cruel,
when
Shanaya
(Alia
Bhatt)
comes
in
between
the
two.
Next
what
happens?
How
things
change
in
the
trio's
life?
MUSIC:
With
a
youthful
setting,
the
film's
soundtrack
by
duo
Vishal-Shekhar,
who
has
doled
out
seven
tracks,
gels
well
with
the
theme.
Songs
like
'Disco
Deewane',
'Radha',
'Ishq
Wala
Love'
and
'Vele'
are
already
topping
the
chart.
SOTY
is
all
set
to
recreate
KJo's
magic
of
his
debut
film
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai.
The
film
marks
Johar's
first
directorial
venture
without
Shahrukh
Khan
in
the
lead
role.
