A Feel-good entertainer!!
Rating : 3.5/5
Genre : Drama
I know that i'm pretty late in posting this review but i finally got to see it today after acquiring a decent rip from the college LAN.Anyways, let me get straight to reviewing.
After continuous flops and masala movies in bollywood, i almost thought to quit watching hindi movies.But suddenly out of nowhere , Dharma Productions , yes the Karan Johar Company , comes up with this beautiful movie portraying the 'common' youngster or college-goer of today.
This movie has Ranbir Kapoor in a different character , Konkana Sen Sharma at her usual best and one of the legends of bollywood Anupam Kher in an important role.
One has a feeling of seeing on screen , one's own story, coz most of today's youth don't seem to have anything about the future planned in their mind.This should be an eye-opener for some or say all of them.
Sid,sorry couldn't remember the full name, is a usual son of a rich family at present but one later gets to know that his dad had struggled hell loads and crossed barriers in earning all this.He attends college normally along with his friends but in the final exam,all but him pass and he gets dejected but still doesn't realize that he has failed on a larger scale.The story continues with he meeting the girl and she helping him to find his actual goal in life.
The music department has done its part well and Amit Trivedi's solo compostion 'Iktara' seems to have enlightened shankar-ehsaan-loy and made them sing the same song in the backoground.
There is nothing new in the cinematography as the camera stays stationary most of the time and the script doesn't provide any room for innovation in this area.
All in all , the movie has nothing 'that' special in it but the story is fresh and untouched till date.It ends up being an eye-opener but the movie ends in rather the usual 'senti'-ish way but all that is forgotten with the fact that 'Wake up Sid' is a sudden melodious sound in the cacophony of masala movies at the bollywood box-office.
So,cutting short my review which "atleast" would urge people to read it properly and fully!
Thanks for reading,will post soon if any movie really captures my heart or allows my mind to think laterally.
