Student of the Year 2 is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language teen romantic sports comedy film directed by Punit Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar under the Dharma Productions banner. A standalone sequel to the 2012 film Student of the Year, the film stars Tiger Shroff alongside debutantes Tara Sutaria and Ananya Panday, with Aditya Seal in a pivotal role. Set in the fictional St. Teresa’s College, the narrative follows Rohan, an aspiring athlete from a humble background, who navigates love, rivalry, and ambition while competing for the coveted title of "Student of the Year."
The film marked Sutaria and Panday’s debut in Hindi cinema and was Malhotra’s second directorial collaboration with Dharma Productions. Principal photography took place across multiple locations in Mussoorie, Dehradun, and Pune. The cinematography was handled by Ravi K. Chandran, while the film’s soundtrack was composed by Vishal–Shekhar, with lyrics by Anvita Dutt and Kumaar.
Released theatrically on 10 May 2019, Student of the Year 2 received negative reviews from critics. While Shroff’s action sequences and screen presence were noted, the film was widely criticised for its implausible storyline, lack of emotional depth, and unrealistic depiction of student life. The film performed moderately at the box office, grossing ₹98.16 crore worldwide against a reported budget of ₹65 crore.
