Bollywood Movie Review – Wake Up Sid

Posted on 28 Aug 2009 at 12:36pm

Debu­tant direc­tor Ayaan Mukher­jee admits his Wake Up Sid is about a younger man dat­ing an older woman but he is appalled by rumours that it revolves around a hand­some guy and a not-so-good look­ing girl.

A few months ago, a nine­teen year old Ayan Mukher­jee approached Karan Johar with a short and sim­ple script that he might have writ­ten dur­ing his col­lege classes. Karan Johar was sold on the fresh­ness and youth quo­tient of the script and cat­a­pulted a young boy to the direc­tor of ‘Wake Up Sid’. The story revolves around a lazy, unmo­ti­vated Mum­baikar Sid­dharth Mehra ( Ran­bir Kapoor ). Sid lives a care­free, respon­si­bil­ity less, super­fi­cial life until he bumps into an aspir­ing writer from Kolkata, Aisha Ban­ner­jee (Konkona Sen Sharma).

With Ayan’s unusual yet peppy pair­ing of Ran­bir Kapoor and Konkona, the film aspires to spread the charm of Youngis­tan in Bol­ly­wood.  Such a young star cast and direc­tor also ensures that the film is high on energy and entertainment.

With excit­ing and very relat­able trail­ers ‘Wake Up Sid’ is already show­ing signs of becom­ing a rage with the young and promises to be a grosser at the box office too.
