SOTY 2 -
With SOTY, we have really come to age. There was time when movie will be finished and GuruDutt will keep hanging his "One Sided Love" (Khakez Ke phool) to the era where Sikkender (Mukadar Ka Sikkender) reveals his Madamjee, then came romance of Raj/Rahuls , " Naam to Suna he hoga" where Hero took First half to establish his true love and then has to realize that it was his true love, with an optimistic sad song, he travels from london to punjab in-order to sing happy songs; And finally evolution reached till Dev-D, where true love was no more an issue but along with love,
"us nazar se nahi dekha" ....[i dont feel the same way] ... was key element. I thought with Love Aaj Kal & Ek Mein aur Ek Tu, we had hit the Terminator age of love stories, where sky net
will rule the world and lovers will be replaced with machine (unlike Neela from 2.0) and no more love trash will happen to mankind.
Guess what .... I was wrong!!!
SOTY is unintended spoof on Bollywood template of Love Stories.
It could because my age/generation, or may be Indian parents have improvised tremendously over the years [3 Idiots] where it took Farhan almost his graduation to convince his father, hitler querashi, to become wildlife photographer.... but today, Moorad from Gully Boy, Convinces his Dad that he wants to do hip hop, and he does convinces in 2 min............. , forget about how he convinces, its amazing what exactly a Dharavi kid should explain Hip Hop to his father whose only understanding for secure life is being a chauffeur.
SOTY raises the bar to new height, they don't even spend those '2 min' ... Guess parents have evolved so much and are so Chill-out that one look from Tiger is enough to make conservative go liberal ..... .
But was audience was on the same page with these chill-out parents ?, i don't think so!!
SOTY is strictly for people below 21 (Assuming you have yet to clear your last year) .....
Yes, I do not like college movies ... Because i grew up watching some Dhanraajgir or Singhania friend, whose estranged father will send briefcase full of money every month, and we the poor firends of a rich kid, will party on his dads fortune, till he will meet a girl and our group will end!! .... .... unfortunatly, we could not pass Vada Pav, Dabelie with old monk and Navy cut cigarettes and Jonny Walker and Cigar remained a distant dream.
so yes, this rich friend concept kind of hurts...
In SOTY , Tiger Shroff fights like Radhe Bhaiya, motivates like Coach Kabir Khan and Plays like Aamir not from JJWS but from awal number.
But thats not enough, he Dances like Hrithik and his gymnastic prowess is a reminder of Khiladi Kumar's Entry Sequence from Saughand ...
SOTY-1 was Love Story with pinch of Sports elements, but SOTY 2 is a unique product where sports plays guest appearance for Dance show Nach Baliye, that too without Madhuri Dixit as judge.
For most of the time, SOTY looked like a platform for Remo to Screen Test Tiger for ABCD-3 and for rest of time, it looked a homage to half baked college drama manufactured from Dharama Production.
Annaya Pandeys is best thing that SOTY has, in most of the scenes she acts like a inner voice of the distressed audience, "Guys are you for Real!!" ... but mostly there is nothing which she could have done to change the fate, to be fair, one should give the credit where its due, she acted well, and she was in Sports Bra in most of her scene, so Well Deserved Dharma Debut, better version of Ishika from Mohabbetein.
Other girl .... i don't even know her name, something Tara.... it appeared her character was written like David Dhawan use to brief Shakti Kapooor in Dhulhe Raja , ..."Sorry we forgot to write charater for you, do what you think is right" ... but unlike Shakti Kapoor could "Think" and "Act" at the same time, this Tara (Star) was more like doobta Tara (falling star).... might not even get Fair n Lovely ad.
Another due credit is that SOTY promotes Kabbadi Pro, only if Bachchan Jr could have come as guest along with Dino moria and Aftab shivdasani ... This would have been great loser engagement.
Overall, SOTY-2 is a must watch for all Tiger Shroff fans and even for those who are in any way related to those fans.
