Aamir Khan has got himself into a very good habit. He cannot stop making movies with substance and class written all over it... and you will adore every moment of it!
It is not easy to make a movie "likeable" without adding some humour or action or romantic sequences. Talaash manages to win our hearts by not only having a great script but a symphony of great acting by every soul that you see in the movie, including Pinky, the dog. Talaash starts off by showing some random events which seem to have no connection. It gets a little long and frustrating in between with your brain trying to figure out the connection between these events.
Aamir Khan looks impeccable with his theatrical skills as a police officer, but I felt that his role was a little too soft w.r.t his image of an encounter specialist. Other than that, Aamir's role can fill up your heart with emotions. Kareena has a gift of acting and she uses it very well. She will actually convince you that she is a real prostitute; I guess the experience from 'Chameli' paid off :-). Rani not only suites her role but brings out the best in it. IMHO, you will not get to see a better professionalism among any other set of actors than what this movie puts forth.
But as I mentioned before, the story is what will leave you flabbergasted, although it might also make you wonder if the story was inspired by a Hollywood movie, but that's debatable. The initial confusion that the movie creates will all clear-up by the time movie ends. All the random pieces of puzzle fall beautifully into right place and bring your mind at peace. What keeps the movie real is that you never feel that songs interrupt the set of sequence in the movie. The songs actually bring out the essence of the scenes.
My suggestion: If you are looking for a smart movie this weekend this is it. Not sure if taking kids to this movie would be a 'smart' choice!

You work hard all week so that you can enjoy your weekend, with anticipation that a good movie will make all the hard work worthwhile. But then life produces people like 'Karan Johar' to keep reminding you that not every Friday night will be fulfilling. After watching SOTY I felt like watching a good movie (at least twice) to completely erase from my memory the 3 hrs of non-sense I had to go through.
SOTY is everything that is wrong with today's bollywood movies. After watching the way people have acted in the movie, I could bet 'Justin Bieber' could have done a better role than these newbie's :-P. SOTY tries to capture the friendship among two friends in a college who... fight over one girl, duh! There is absolutely no chemistry between the friends or the couples. The two new heroes have tried their best to make their friendship look good, but I would say their friendship is more of a sunken-ship. It never even comes close to the chemistry friends share in 'Dil chahata hai' or 'Aisha' or 'Zindagi Na Milegi Doobara'.
The new heroine is like a doll, whose face has been painted white. There's something weird about the girl's face that looks extra (Photoshop) white than it should normally be. Of all the actors, Rishi Kapoor is the only one who stands out being soundly suitable and interesting for his role.
I felt the movie lost connection with the Indian audience when they started showing foreign things in the movie, like college arranging prom nights and triathlon. Then there are scenes where people start getting emotional for things that don't concern them and not to mention the half a dozen songs squeezed into the movie, on top of that half these songs are remake of old Hindi songs. This movie lacks innovation, acting, good story or a good casting.
My suggestion: All those who plan to watch "Student of the Year"... change your plans!
