Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
ctowyi Wake Up Sid is a story about Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) who is a quintessentially Mumbai slacker boy - wealthy, lazy and completely lacking in focus. An unexpected meeting with Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma), a driven, bold and ambitious writer from Calcutta, results in summer of discoveries, realizations and coming of age.This is a fun and pleasing film to watch on a lazy afternoon. I wasn't paying much attention for the first hour because it is just too generic and I could guess what will happen next and next and next. Plus Ranbir Kapoor plays him bordering on "I want to give him a tight slap" territory. Sorry, that's the 'teacher' in me talking. I kept wanting the dramatic turn-around moment to hit and an hour in it hit, big time. Essentially the movie officially began for me from that moment on. What I didn't count on was how it became a different movie from that moment on. It's different good. Lots of little surprises put a smile on my face and I celebrated with the brat as he grows up. This is a movie of two halves and I love the second half a lot.
vishaal811 Wake Up Sid has a fresh exuberance brought by the actors especially by Ranbir Kapoor who plays 'Sid' who starts out as a spoiled brat who had no ambitions in life other than spend his dad's earnings. Through the course of this movie, he finds his true passion, true love and an independent life. As a college student who is about to graduate, I can totally relate to this story about the fear and excitement about starting a new life without any help from your parents. The perpetually underrated actress Konkona Sen Sharma plays Naina who travels to Mumbai in the hope of becoming a writer. She befriends Sid on her first day when she met him at a party. Eventually, they become roommates. Even though both of them have completely opposite types of views on life, they are able to live with each other. The movie does have a cliché ending which dampens the overall impact of the film. However, if you can overlook some of the predictable story lines, you can definitely enjoy this coming-of-age movie that will transform the lead character.
silvan-desouza KJ has made several feel good films but WAKE UP SID is one of the films that really strike a chord. The film may resemble LAKSHYA but its a different story. WAKE UP SID shows the life of the youth and their lives. Ranbhir's character is well shown, his frivolous attitude towards life, his scenes with his parents are all well depicted. The scene when he fails is superb. His confrontation with his father and then his leaving the house is superb too The slowly bonding between Konkona and Ranbhir is well handled too The scene when she scolds him after he prepares an omlete is well handled and the film till the climax is superb Only my issues with the film are that the Rahul Khanna character is used as a prop, even the fact that Ranbhir a 20 yr+ guy is more obsessed with games then girls, porn.etc does make it seem a bit far fetchedDirection by Ayan Mukherjee is superb, strange that the director was just 19 during the making of the film Music is superb, Iktara stands out and got tremendous praise, title song too is fabRanbhir Kapoor excels in his character, the best part is that he plays it so naturally, this film really proved his talent and his career shot up, Konkona Sen Sharma is a delight as usual Anupam Kher and Supriya Pathak are superb as Sid's parents Kashmira Shah is alright, Rahul Khanna's character could be better yet he is good
Saad Khan WAKE UP SID – CATCH IT ( A ) Wake Up Sid, is an outstanding and a complete real movie. I was literally amazed with how much detail and conviction the young director has made the movie and during all 2/1 hr not for a single second I felt boredom. All the characters in the movie can be seen in our normal life. Ranbir kapoor is truly a genius star, he brought the purity to the character which no one else would have. Konkona Sen Sharma yet again proved that what ever she does, it's par excellence. She in outstanding and looks completely natural. Her chemistry with Ranbir kapoor is the true base of the movie. Anupam Kher and Supriya Pathak did a fantastic job. Kashmira Shah was for few scenes and she looked really good for the 1st time in her life I guess. LOL. All the other new young actors were amazing as Sid's friends. Ayan Mukerjee is a fine young director and the whole movie is his vision. I am really glad that Karan Johar let him made the movie he wanted to make not something that would appeal the commercial success only. No wonder the movie is a huge Hit now. Love it Love it Love it!
