'Wake Up Sid' is directed by Ayan Mukerji, and he has come up with a touching tale and both the presentation and narrative were top notch. And he deserves a solid pat on his back for putting together a gripping and relatable film about a confused youth's coming of age.
Story:
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.
Performance:
Ranbir Kapoor came up with a mesmerizing performance and he has evolved more as a performer than an entertainer, Konkona does it like a walk in the park and she takes the cake. Anupam Kher was perfect, Supriya Pathak was super, Namit was natural, Shikha was sensible, Kashmira was sexy, Rahul didn't have much to offer, the others did their bit as required.
Music:
'Wake Up Sid' 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.
Verdict: Good |  |
