By watching the promos I had a guess that ‘Wake up Sid’ would be for youth. It might be some sort of inspirational. As I like all of Karan Johar’s movies I decided to watch it. But it hardly entertained me this time. Means Karan could have shown better than this.
In that Ranbeer called SID has succeeded to play the role. He is one of spoiled rich,very cool, tension free. He never cares about his future, totally dependent for everything on his family. He never has any goal and goes where his life takes him. Like all parents his father is very much worrying about his son. They forced him to join his office and take over his business. But Sid always refused to do that.
Once, on a graduation party he meets girl ‘Aisha Banarjee’ (Konkana Sen). Konkana also well played the role of a matured girl. Aisha is totally opposite character to Sid who is independent, motivated and determined girl and desires to be a professional writer. She comes to Mumbai in pursuit of goal. She is brave girl. When Sid meets Aisha, in short while they become friends and Sid feels nice by knowing about Aisha.
Sid is forced to join office by his dad. He does so for some days. But as he is not interested in that he can’t do that for more days. As it is said that “Unless u cant do your work with interest it is work and once you create interest, work doen’t remains work, it becomes a joy!”
Here Aisha searches for a job and house. They both keep in touch by mails. She also suggests Sid that he should enjoy the work he is doing. Sid helps her in getting flat. In some days she gets editorial assistant job at Mumbai magazine by her smart skills. Sid fails in his academic exam. Again parents get disappointed. In anger he left the house. Then he went to Aisha’s home. She allows him to live there. They both live friendly. He likes Aisha and once he asked her “Why won’t u marry me?” She replied “You are like a child. I want guy who is matured, who has some goal and a definite career” Then he started realizing what he was doing. He also wishes something to do to earn. He has hobby of photography. Aisha suggests him to apply in her agency. Then he gets job as photographer. When he earns his first salary, he got delighted. He goes to his father and gives them his payment. He praises him for that and ask him to return home.
Until now Aisha is also in love with Sid but she never tells him. Sid tells her that he is returning home. She got shocked but allows him to go. After returning home both miss each other. One day Aisha’s article “New girl in a city” gets published in a magazine. Sid reads that. In that she writes a whole story after she enters Mumbai. And worte about Sid in that. By reading Sid got realized that she too likes him.
Then suddenly he takes his car and goes to meet her. Rain starts. They both like rain a lot. He wents to the beach. He sees Aisha alone enjoying rain there. Aisha got surprized to see Sid. They both committed their love and hug each other. And the story ends there.
Speaking about the movie review, i'd say that the movie would have been good if there would have been more trace on how Sid gets motivated and how he wakes up. It would have been made inspirational for young guys like Sid. Here all mixing is shown. Nothing is complete in itself. Main theme of the movie is not fixed whether it is love or waking up! Some songs sounds quite good to the situations. Beauty of Mumbai is shown nicely. Some scenes in movie are shown beautifully. Like the last scene, their reunion in the early mansoon!
