1. Bollywood Hungama By: Taran Adarsh,
Recall those years when partying hard was the only agenda on your list. Recall those years when staying awake at nights, chatting away with friends became a habit. Recall those years when bunking college and sneaking into movie halls was more exciting than books. Recall those years when you were completely clueless and aimless about the vocation you wanted to pursue once you graduated… That indecisive phase when you were hesitant to take that first big step in life can never be erased from your memory.
Buzz up!Wake Up Sid, directed by debutante Ayan Mukerji, is like revisiting those years that lay at some remote corner of your mind, after you moved on in life.
Actually, Wake Up Sid is a slice of life film. It's not merely real in concept, but has also been told most realistically, so much so that you can't help but draw parallels with your life or with someone you know. But what really makes Wake Up Sid most believable is Ranbir Kapoor, who's mastered the craft at such a young age.
Verdict? Wake Up Sid mirrors those years with flourish. This one's a simple story that strikes a chord instantly. Strongly recommended!
Wake Up Sid tells the story of Siddharth aka Sid (Ranbir Kapoor), a lazy, unmotivated slacker from Mumbai whose life undergoes a series of changes after taking his final year college exams. Sid's world is breezy, carefree and without any true responsibilities. read full review...

This one has no middle ground. You will either love Wake Up Sid or just hate it. A section of the viewers are likely to complain about the lack of a coherent plot and its leisurely pace. But on the flip side, that's exactly why Wake Up Sid works. Director Ayan Mukerji hasn't gone in for a lavish, exaggerated debut. Like Love Aaj Kal and Luck By Chance, restrained and subtle portrayal of emotions are its high point.
Sid Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor) is not Aamir Khan of Dil Chahta Hai or Hrithik Roshan of Lakshya. They may have been rich and lazy. But both were essentially kind hearted, chilled-out guys.
Sid on the other hand has been depicted as an extremely arrogant and rude youngster. He shares an uncomfortable relationship with his parents. And while he is proud of his father's bank balance, Sid is equally embarrassed about working in his family's bathroom fittings business. It's elements like these, which distinguish the film from a regular urban comedy. In fact Wake Up Sid does not go in for an out-and-out humourous take on Ranbir's character. Neither does it give long, melodramatic sermons. read full review...

Coming of age is never an instant experience. It takes time, a sweet amount at that, before realisation hits. As if on cue, Wake Up Sid [ Images ] follows the tempo of its eponymous hero.
There's not much of a story to tell. It could be related in a five-minute music video -- about a boy who takes everything; family, education, comforts for granted and a slightly older, independent girl. What happens when the twain share the same roof?
And so the first quarter of writer/director Ayan Mukerji's fresh, romantic and feel-good caper about a boy-in-limbo's metamorphosis into a man-in-charge is leisurely paced, as if unapologetically echoing Sid's laidback temperament, an affable yet clueless college lad who snaps at his folks, doodles on his accounts text book to party hard at Ruby Tuesday, gaming arcades, shopping malls and discotheques with his two best friends a plump Betty-types (an instantly likeable Shikha Talsania) and a bearded sensitive Joe (Namit Das, half-amusing), driving a sleek Honda CRV, with an exceptionally trendy wardrobe of cartoon-themed tees (Joker, Dastardly, Beavis & Butthead, Ghostbusters, Tom & Jerry, Snoopy to name a few), cute 'n' colourful boxers and a room-filled with all sorts of fanboy toys, gadgets and gizmos.
Phew, right? All these cool props to emphasise on Sid's affluent, metropolitan, spoilt character are in excess, in fact to the point of distraction. Even so, most of the aforesaid is swiftly established in a lilting Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy number, Kya karoon.
Immediately after, the momentum tires down into scenes with either one too many ungainly pauses or dialogues (by Niranjan Iyengar) that tend to ramble on. Like Sid's tribute to Mumbai [ Images ] is characteristically a Mumbaikar showing off the awesomeness of his city to a visitor to the extent the other feels sorry he/she hails from anywhere else. But the verbosity with which he is asked to convey Mumbai's magical magnetism, monsoon madness and insomniac charm does not appeal. What does is him quoting Dil Chahta Hai [ Images ]'s legendary punch-line, 'Be a man'. read full review...
4.NDTV by Anupama Chopra, Consulting Editor, Films,
Wake Up Sid is the coming-of-age story of a slacker named Sid, played by Ranbir Kapoor. In a wonderfully done title sequence, debutant director Ayan Mukherji shows us Sid struggling with accounting the night before his final exam. He’s had four cups of coffee and stays up till 3 am but he doesn’t get past the first question.
Unfortunately the film doesn’t maintain this crackling momentum and becomes a patchy, predictable story held together by the sheer prowess of Ranbir. Ayan, working from his own story and screenplay, skillfully creates Sid’s state of arrested development.
This is the kind of collegiate who sleeps in Sponge Bob sheets, doesn’t last one week in his father’s bathroom furnishing business, which he describes as full-on pakao, and has no ambition or plans for the future apart from getting drunk. Sid meets Aeysha, played by Konkona Sen Sharma, a slightly older, more mature and focused girl, who moves to Mumbai from Kolkatta to create an independent life for herself.
The two, polar opposites, become friends though she’s quick to explain that he is not her type. She is looking for a man, not a boy. Eventually, Aeysha helps Sid grow up. He discovers that life is a little more complicated than the comic books he reads. Wake Up Sid has honesty and freshness. Ayan creates some genuinely tender and moving moments.
There is a lovely little scene in which Sid makes an impromptu cake for Aeysha’s birthday. And Sid’s confrontation with his parents packs a wallop. However, Ayan isn’t as successful at stringing together the moments.
The pacing in the first half is very slow. Towards interval, the film gathers an emotional momentum but afterward it becomes slack again. The bigger problem is that the crisis of the characters never feels sufficiently awful or urgent. read full review...

Sid is a grown-up kid, not a “man”, as he is often told by his good friend Aisha. Between the kid and the man lies the struggle to find one’s identity, a struggle to figure out what is it that one wants to do in life. When college days are over, it’s time to think beyond i-pods, parties, get-togethers and to chalk out a career. “But why?” Sid would scowl. He can, because he’s got a rich dad who even tries to lure him into his business with the promise of a latest Porsche as a gift. And the next thing you see is Sid sprawled on a chair in his dad’s office, munching on a pizza and yapping on his cell. A grown-up kid not willing to wake up to the altered reality around him.
‘Wake Up Sid’ is about a coming of age we all go through. It’s a film that instantly strikes a chord because it’s full of snapshots from our own lives.
When Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) flunks his college exam (not that I did) he finds himself in a tight spot. Tired of being taunted by his parents, he leaves his home and moves in with his best buddy Aisha, a Bengali who’s come to Mumbai to be “independent”. There, living with Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma), Sid is confronted by his harsh reality. He can’t cook for his life. He doesn’t have a job. His credit card expires. And on top of it all, he finds that he’s carried the disorder of his own life into Aisha’s. It’s time to wake up.
A simple story that touches your heart without overwhelming it with too much drama or emotions, ‘Wake Up Sid’ is the face of new-age Bollywood cinema that has already given us gems like Dil Chahta Hai and Rock On. Debutant director Ayan Mukherjee deserves a solid pat on his back for putting together a gripping and relatable film about a confused youth’s coming of age. The juvenile quirks and emotional dilemmas of the eponymous hero are depicted with subtlety that’s scarce in Bollywood.
