Movie Review: Wake Up Sid - Don't we all love those carefree days?

I had been glancing at the posters of this movie for a while before the movie's release - and I should say that I used to find the posters quite inviting. I saw this movie the first chance I got, and I wasn't disappointed.

Siddarth "Sid" Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor) is a rich spoilt brat with a lavish upbringing, who doesn't take life seriously. He is in his final year of college, and has no clue about what to do in his life. He meets Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma) at a party. Aisha is an independent, self-made woman who has just landed in Mumbai from Kolkata looking for an editing job. Sid graciously plays the host to the out-of-towner and helps her settle down. What follows is a clash of personalities, how they positively influence each other, and realize their feelings for each other in the process.

The movie is well made with good performances by Ranbir and Konkona Sen. Its a light, simple, romantic-comedy movie with no frills attached (No car chases, no item numbers, etc.). Ranbir fits the role like a glove - he probably had to just play himself! His wardrobe is something to watch out for - with the toon-themed T-shirts and the goofy socks. This is the first commercially successful mainstream movie of Konkona (in a lead role) - she has done well and fits the role too. Karan Johar should have been bold to cast a young chocolate-boy hero against a mature art-movie heroine - and the risk seems to have paid off.

The movie delivers exactly what it promises - A simple, light, fun-filled story that keeps you engaged. You will find the story of a carefree young boy's life experiences that transforms him to a responsible adult with a purpose in life quite exhilarating and refreshing.
