Movie Review: Wake Up Sid

How many movies have been made in which the protagonist is a confused boy at the beginning and when movie ends he has completely transformed in a responsible man, the answer is many. So whats new in this movie, the narration. The movie is told in such a way that today's generation can relate to it. It caters more to people living in metros, people in small cities would understand it but won't be able to connect with the characters.

The direction is ordinary. I don't see anything outstanding in this movie. It is for me a rehashed version of movies like Dil Chahta Hai, Lakshya etc. The director does a good job in narrating it, but its not anything of special mention as the predictability factor is very high. By good job in narration I mean the sweet and charming college scenes showing friendship, love, heartbreak etc. and conflict with family. Other than that Ranbir's journey from a young confused boy to being responsible is something which we have seen so many times before.

The performances from the cast are normal. Ranbir looks every bit a confused youth. Konkana Sen is as always convincing in her role. But the problem is that the script is so very ordinary that it doesn't gives any scope for any actor to perform out of his skin. According to media this movie has been a big hit, for me this movie is average. It is charming but has got nothing new in it, its just a time pass movie.
