Student Of The Year Is Back, But This Time It's Dark And Gritty: Check Date, Cast And Streaming Platform

Exactly 14 years after Student Of The Year hit theatres, Karan Johar is bringing the franchise back in a way fans did not see coming. Student Of The Year – After Dark, a JioHotstar Special with Shanaya Kapoor in the lead, will start streaming from 13 November.

What Karan Johar Said

Karan shared an 18-second teaser on Instagram and called it a new journey for the franchise. He promised "Gritty, gory, unabashed and absolute madness" and told fans to gear up. The campus glam of the earlier films is clearly not what this one is about.

A Very Different Student Of The Year

The 2012 film was all about school rivalry, love triangles and one shiny trophy. After Dark seems to leave that world behind. Reports say the series will be darker, edgier and far more intense, with one source describing it as "Class meets Euphoria".
