Wake Up Sid
Release Date: October 02, 2009Language: HindiGenre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
Starring: Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Shruti Bapna, Krutika Bolaki
Plot
In Mumbai, Sid Mehra is, in the words of his father, an arrogant, spoiled brat. He lives with a doting mother and a father who pays his expenses and credit card bills. Sid takes his college finals then starts work at his father's business; he lasts less than a week before walking out. At a graduation party, he's met Aisha, newly arrived from Calcutta, set on becoming a writer. He shows her the city and helps her refurbish a rented flat. He asks if she'd like to progress from friend to something more; she says no - he lacks ambition and isn't her type. Will her words, his exam results, a confrontation with his parents, and a break with his friends be enough to wake Sid up?
Critic's reviews
-
Taran Adarsh - Bollywood Hungama
Actually, WAKE UP SID is a slice of life film. It's not merely real in concept, but has also been told most realistically, so much so that you can't help but draw parallels with your life or with someone you know. But what really makes WAKE UP SID most be

Anand Vaishnav - Buzz 18
This one has no middle ground. You will either love Wake Up Sid or just hate it. A section of the viewers are likely to complain about the lack of a coherent plot and its leisurely pace. But on the flip side, that's exactly why Wake Up Sid works. When the

Rajeev Masand - IBN Live
Infusing a shopworn premise with honesty, and peppering the film with tender moments, director Ayan Mukherji creates an engaging enough drama that you're happy to emotionally invest in.The casual, conversational style of dialogue makes it easy to relate t

Shubhra Gupta - Indian Express
Ranbir is effortlessly charming as the lazy dude with a heart, and Konkona rises a little out of her usual grid. She reads Murakami, he skims through comics, and the twain do not look made for each other. `Wake Up Sid' succeeds only partly in being a swee

Wake Up Sid in literal terms is the coming of age story of one rich but irresponsible boy who becomes a man.The basic premise of the film might seem predictable not because you have seen that several times in films before but experienced something similar

Anupama Chopra - NDTV Movies
The pacing in the first half is very slow. Towards interval, the film gathers an emotional momentum but afterward it becomes slack again. The bigger problem is that the crisis of the characters never feels sufficiently awful or urgent.We never feel that a

Sukanya Verma - Rediff
There's not much of a story to tell. It could be related in a five-minute music video -- about a boy who takes everything; family, education, comforts for granted and a slightly elder, independent girl. What happens when the twain share the same roof?.The

Avijit Ghosh - Times of India
Wake Up Sid could have been just another spoilt-brat's coming-of-age flick: plenty of attitude but bereft of soul. But it ends up being much, much more. And what makes it special is debutant director Ayan Mukerji's (also the film's writer) attention to de
