. Stylish, classy, born with a silver spoon, she's someone who loves to

Extremely
photogenic , Alia makes a super-confident debut. In fact, all three,
Siddharth, Varun and Alia, are here to stay!". film critic Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN wrote, "Alia Bhatt is cute as the clueless Shanaya, if a little raw" film critic Komal Nahta
commented, " Alia Bhatt ends up with a very dumb-blonde role who has to
do standard ramp poses for the camera but she performs ably".Raedita Tandan from Filmfare
wrote, "Among the performances, Sidharth, Varun and Alia do their best
not to seem like newcomers and they emerge triumphant. And Alia
definitely has what it takes to be a star. The three make confident
debuts". film critic Anupama Chopra form Hindustan Times commented, "The leading lady, Shanaya, played by Alia Bhatt, carries Hermes bags. She's like Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

family ties with designer labels. The boys are also given simplistic
backstories to explain why they are the way there are".Student of the Year stood at an all India collection of 70 crore (US$12 million) after its four weeks run and was eventually declared a financial success.
