Wake Up Sid Movie Review

The story of this movie is about lazy guy from Mumbai Siddharth Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor), unmotivated idler. He is carefree; windy with his college life, but then his life gets new twists after his final year's exam. Sid is a happy-go-lucky guy; he lives very cool life, without any responsibilities and problems. He is involved just in his friends, his camera, his car, and his X-box 360. Sid grows around his two friends Rishi (Namit Das) and Laxmi (Shikha Talsania). Supriya Pathak has played role of Sid's mother Sarita. Sid rarely talks to his mother and Father Ram Mehra (Anupam Kher).

Sid is from very rich family, despite of all these qualities; he is genuinely an honest boy, sweet, funny and also a good friend. He lives luxurious life, on the hard earned wealth of his father. Aisha Bannerjee (Konkona Sen Sharma) is an aspiring writer from Calcutta. She comes to Mumbai to realize her dreams as a writer. On first day at Mumbai, her path crosses with Sid. She is motivated, modern, ambitious woman. Sid becomes her first friend in Mumbai despite of their different personalities. With Sid and his gang she sets up her life in Mumbai. She also involves with Sid's parties that stretch well into dawn, and endless hours doing absolutely nothing and long drives.

Now Sid's days turn in opposite wind, the wake up call rings to wake him due to some unlikely events in his life. Those days force him to take shock of his life and take a hard look at himself.

Wake Up Sid Movie's music is classy, natural, different than other movie's music these days, by the talented team of Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy and Javed Akhtar, and also the composer team of Iktara, Amit Trivedi.

Ranbir Kapoor's appearance to the look of the movie, 'Wake Up Sid' shows freshness. The movie is of today's teenager's habitual life, which has seen in the role of Sid. Director Ayan Mukherjee and producer Karan Johar deviates from their usual larger-than-life films in 'WUS'.

Rani's youthful cousin Ayan Mukherjee has plenty to look ahead with his debut movie as a director. The movie Wake Up Sid is with star cast like Ranbir Kapoor & Konkona Sen.

The movie is about Mumbaiya romantic story about city relations. The movie director wanted a pair that seemed mismatched. The movie is about looking for a height of compatibility in a planet gone definitely unmanageable."

Wake up Sid is the tale of Sidharth Mehra played by Ranbir Kapoor, an idle, unenthusiastic idler from Mumbai City whose life experience a sequence of transformations following his last year college examination. Sid is world's most lazy person and only thinks about his friends, camera, car and game station. He has two best friends. In spite of all this he is very honest, joyful, sweet and a very good friend. . A sequence of situations & events force him to take supply of his life & take a solid look at himself. For more just visit your nearest theater and watch Wake up Sid.

I found Wake Up Sid movie review good for youngsters. The movie should be must watch at least once. The best part it is releasing on a holiday. 2^nd October is Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday (Gandhi Jayanti). So people don't wait just book the tickets before it goes to houseful.

After a long time we have a refreshing movie, a clean entertainer that can be watched with family or friends. Produced by Dharma Productions, Wake Up Sid stars Ranbir Kapoor and Konkana Sen Sharma in lead roles. Ayan Mukerji directs this feel-good entertainer that does remind you of last year's super-hit Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

The movie is about Siddharth Mehra a.k.a Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) who is a rich spoilt brat, but with a heart of gold. The guy lacks motivation in life and is happy spending his father's hard-earned fortune. His world, like most guys of his age, is surrounded by friends, cars and gaming consoles (in his case Playstation 3 and PSP)!

His transformation from a careless, fun-loving college teenager to a mature responsible individual is what Wake Up Sid is all about. Part of the journey is Aisha (Konkana Sen Sharma) and the two 'different' personalities become good friends and eventually, without any prizes for guessing, fall in love.

Wake Up Sid Review

Why Wake Up Sid is a MUST watch in theatre

• In good movies, stories or the lack of it doesn't really matter. Wake Up Sid has no great storyline, but its those several heart warming moments that make it a enjoyable experience.
• The first half passes by so quickly, you hardly realize its about an hour long. The character of Sid is such that most youngsters as well as parents can easily connect with.
• Ayan Mukerji's direction is top notch. As mentioned above, the story is basically a one-liner, yet scenes like; Ranbir confronting his parents after he fails in his final exams, the relationship that he shares with his friends, the live-in friendship that he shares with Aisha, scenes with his hot and sexy neighbour (played by Kashmeera Shah), confession of his love and many more work big time. The movie as a whole is extremely well executed. Another young director to watch out for.
• Ranbir Kapoor is fabulous, its easily his best performance. In yet another boy-next-door kinda role he excels in every scene, his dialogue delivery and expressions are by far the best of all newcomers. His hair-styling though should have been way better!
• Konkana Sen Sharma is good yet again. Frankly, she doesn't need dialogues, her eyes and facial expressions do the trick. And although she looks slightly older to Ranbir, the role she plays is of a older woman.
• Music by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy is fantastic. There are no dance routines, which is a welcome change. Songs are blended beautifully with the movie and two songs stand out. Wake Up Sid and Iktara. (you can click on the song titles for the lyrics of the songs)
• Cinematography is great too. Mumbai has been captured beautifully, Marine drive especially!

So what are the negatives?

• The last 30 minutes could have been crisper, drags slightly.
• Styling - Ranbir's hair and Konkana's Wardrobe. You expect better from a movie produced by Dharma Productions!!

Overall, Wake Up Sid is a must watch. A multiplex movie in its truest sense. Highly recommended for youngsters. The older generation (family audience) should enjoy it equally.

Other Notes : Wake Up Sid should do much better than Dostana (which did above-average business) at the box office. The in-theater response was brilliant, everyone seemed to have enjoyed the movie. Karan Johar and his team have done it again.

looks like finally Ranbir will get a Hit..

I hope it does very well. I can't wait to see it. All the reviews have been positive.
