Pretty young things all buffed and polished wandering around the corridors of the ‘college’ masquerading as ‘students’? SOTY 2 is a sequel to the first 2012 edition, and it doesn’t even bother refreshing the template: everything is dispiritedly familiar. But what can even the most agile workhorse, even if he has a limited emoting repertoire, do, if the set-pieces are so done-to-death? AdvertisingHang on, there is one new thing in the film, and that’s the introduction of kabaddi in the big inter-school competition. The running time is too long for what is, essentially, yet-another-buffed-up-version of ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander’ crossed with ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’.
