313. High School Musical.



Troy Bolton is the basketball superstar of his school, East High.  He loves basketball and is the captain of his school team.  Gabriella Montez is a genius.  She has won many prizes for various quiz competitions, but she studies in a different school.  On a New Year’s Eve, Troy and Gabriella attend a teen party, but they don’t know each other.  The host calls them on a little stage to sing a karaoke.  Both of them don’t know that much about singing, as they both have interest in only a particular area.  But, they try singing and enjoy it.  Then they get to know each other and become friends.

The next day, Troy, his best friend, Chad and his basketball team ‘Wildcats’ go to school.  When Troy goes to his classroom, he spots a girl who looks just like Gabriella.  Actually, it is Gabriella.  She transferred to East High, and she also spots Troy.  After class, Troy meets Gabriella and shows her around the school.  Just then, Sharpay Evans, a spoiled rich girl, and Ryan Evans, her twin brother comes in.  Their teacher, Miss Darbus, informs them about the Winter Musical which will be held in their school and tells them that they can sign up for it.  Sharpay and Ryan sign up for it, but they don’t want anyone else to get in their way.

Gabriella befriends a girl named Taylor McKessie, and both of them work hard for a quiz competition.  Troy and the Wildcats have a big basketball game at the end of the season.  Troy and Gabriella also want to audition for the musical, but they withdraw when they realize that they have their own programs.

On the day of audition, Troy and Gabriella sneak into the auditorium without the knowledge of their friends and watch other audition.  For the pair performance, only Sharpay and Ryan have signed up, and both do a great job.  Miss Darbus asks if anyone else wants to audition for the pair performance, but no one else came up.  But, when everyone else was leaving, Gabriella came out from her and Troy’s hiding place and tells that she wants to audition.  Troy tells that Gabriella has an awesome voice and that Miss Darbus should let her audition.  But, the teacher refuses and tells that auditioning time was over and that they should try for the next musical.

When the pianist, Kelsie, comes out after working on her piano, she trips and falls and all her notes fall to the floor.  Troy and Gabriella help her up and take a look at the notes.  They sing it and Miss Darbus hears it.  She tells that along with Ryan and Sharpay, Troy and Gabriella will be singing in the pair performance.

When Sharpay hears the news, she screams and wants to make Troy and Gabriella not come to the show at all.  Their basketball game and quiz competition were on a Friday and the musical was on a Thursday.  So, as the president of the drama club, Sharpay changes the musical to the Friday at 3:30 pm, the same time as Troy and Gabriella’s programs.

Both of them confess to their friends, who still don’t know, that they sing and that they are selected for the musical.  So, just because Troy confesses, all his friends start confessing.  So, Chad and Taylor make a plan.  The Wildcats ask Troy to come to their locker room and remind him about how he loved basketball and all.  But Troy tells that he could concentrate on both basketball as well as the musical.  But, somehow, Chad makes Troy tell that the musical and Gabriella are not important and make him concentrate fully on basketball.

Meanwhile, Taylor and all the others convince Gabriella to come out of the musical, but she refuses.  They show her the video of Troy telling that she is not important and make her not think about the musical at all.

When Troy meets Gabriella, he tells how he looks forward to the musical, but Gabriella tells that she is not going to sing.  After that, Troy could not focus and was depressed.  One day, his friends come to him and tell how they had planned and made him forget about the musical.  Gabriella’s friends also tell her.  Troy accepts, but Gabriella refuses.  So, Troy talks to Gabriella and reminds her about the first time they sang together.  This makes Gabriella accept.

The next day, when they come to school, Troy and Gabriella see the change in the date and time of the musical.  They were confused and didn’t know what to do.  But just then, Chad, Taylor and all the Wildcats tell them that they will help them.  So, on Friday, Troy and his friends, and Gabriella and her friends, take part in their competitions, while the musical was going on at the auditorium.  Being a genius, Taylor makes all the lights in the basketball gym go out by doing something in her laptop.  With no power, they could not continue the game.  So, Troy changes fast and runs to the auditorium.

At the same time, the genius Taylor also did something to an acid there and it started bubbling and giving out a lot of smoke.  So the people there run out and Gabriella also runs to the auditorium.  By the time both of them make it there, Ryan and Sharpay have finished their performance and Kelsie the pianist was ready to go.  But on seeing them, she goes right back to her piano.  All the Wildcats and Gabriella’s friends come rushing into the auditorium to see their friends perform, and there was so much audience when Troy and Gabriella sang than there was when Sharpay and Ryan sang.   Gabriella was a little nervous at first, but then, she began singing confidently.  They ended their song and the crowd gave them a standing ovation.


After the musical, Troy goes back to his game and Gabriella goes back to her quiz, and both of their teams win.  This shows that even though they came from different backgrounds, they did a totally different thing together.  If we try, we can do anything.  I liked this movie very much.
