Okay so what was Ayan Mukherji thinking when he made this movie? I am pretty sure he was more occupied with the costumes, sets and all other aesthetic items rather than the story/script which happens to be the most basic part of any movie. Agreed that the movie is based on a conventional theme which leaves very little room for experimentation but that also means putting extra efforts in order to keep the audience's interest alive. Sadly, this doesn't happen.
So Sid, a downright wastrel with a devil-may-care attitude whose sole job is to squander his dad's money ends up flunking his exam, gets into a string of arguments with his dad and eventually leaves his home. Well, no surprsies there! Then, he moves in with Konkana Sen Sharma (I forgot her name in the film!), his good friend (who earns the "good" tag in a ridiculously short span of time!!) I know it's just a movie whatever! Anyway, to cut a long story short, Sid learns his lessons while he's staying with Konkana, ends up getting a job and eventually mends his broken family ties. But in the bargain, Konkana who is totally in love with Sid, is devastated as now he would no longer be staying with her...but Sid soon realizes he loves her too and Wake Up Sid finally ends! Phew!
Ranbir was uber cool in the movie...the styling, costumes everything was brilliant..there's not a shred of doubt about that! But the movie lacked content! Characters lacked strength and that's the reason why this movie fails or let's just say doesn't make a mark! You know when we checked the show timings, we learned that Cinemax was not even screening it (just in its 3rd week)! I was kinda surprised considering the movie got rave reviews and stuff....but after the movie I realized I shouldn't have been surprised at all!! Wake Up Sid just drags and by the time Sid wakes up, the audience ends up falling asleep! Too bad!

ohhh girl...you got the movie so wrong..the movie has amazing storyline...also you havent noticed that movie is not only about the relationship btw konakana and ranbir, but it is also about teenage guy realising his career interests and his relationships with friends and parents. Movie is good. I give it 3 stars.
Bytheway, in the movie, Konkana Sen's name is Aisha.
Okay let's just say u liked it n I hated it!! :D
I liked the movie...It was simple, unpretentious and well directed...a tad slow but definitely not boring...I know we hv seen similar themes in DCH and Lakshya before and yet the treatment here was diffrnt...I think ur expectations wr too high for this one :)
