Wake up Sid is very typical of Karan Johar's comfort of working with upper middle class characters. Wake up Sid movie revolves around Ranbir Kapoor [Sid] and Konkana Sen Sharma [Aisha].
This is the story of Sid (Ranbir Kapoor), rich, lazy, unmotivated slacker from Mumbai whose life undergoes a series of changes after taking his final year college exams. Sid's world is rich, breezy, carefree, and without any true responsibilities. The most important elements in his life are his friends, his camera, his car. Sid thrives around his two best friends, Rishi (Namit Das) and Laxmi (Shikha Talsania), very rarely communicates with his mother (Supriya Pathak) and takes his father (Anupam Kher. While he has many friends, he becomes friends with Aiysha, an ordinary girl from Kolkata who has come to Mumbai to make a humble living. Aisha Bannerjee (Konkona Sen Sharma), an aspiring writer from Kolkata, learns this soon enough when her path crosses with Sid's on her first day in Mumbai. Ambitious, well-read, and driven, Aisha has come to Mumbai to realize her dreams as a writer. Despite quite opposite personalities to each other, Sid becomes Aisha's first friend in the city.
As he fails in examinations and is thrown out of his huge house with cancelled credit cards, he freeloads on Ayesha for a while. But life and friendship will change this spoilt brat into a responsible young man. As Aisha sets up her life in Mumbai, with the help of Sid and his gang, Sid allows for time to fly by over long drives, parties that stretch well into dawn, and endless hours doing absolutely nothing. But Sid's life completely changed when summer comes. An incident forces Sid to move in with Aisha. Reluctantly, he kicks off his journey towards self-discovery. But proximity does not translate into love for Sid and Aisha. The differences in their personalities that brought Sid and Ayesha closer, emerge as the biggest challenge in their relationship. And Sid's search for his own identity keeps influencing his ever-changing equation with Aisha.
Wake Up Sid is a light hearted movie that will make you smile. Full credit goes to Ranbir Kapoor and Konkana Sen Sharma's flawless acting. Ranbir spellbinds you with an endearing act like his expression by using his eyes, his voice, his oddly-pitched laugh and the tiniest of tics to make a flesh-and-blood character out of Sid.
Ranbir Kapoor and him alone who diverts your attention from the film's little flaws and spellbinds you with an endearing act that is Wake Up Sid's biggest strength. Using his eyes, his voice, his oddly-pitched laugh and the tiniest of tics to make a flesh-and-blood character out of Sid, Ranbir turns in what is easily one of the year's most confident and assured performances. Konkana Sen Sharma once again breezes through her role as the regular girl. With all these spectacular performance of his character debutant director Ayan Mukherji creates his own space in Bollywood.
