Wake Up Sid

Wake Up Sid

Wake Up Sid revolves around the story of Siddharth, a rich spoilt brat living off his father’s money without a single care in the world. His only penchant is photography and spending money which he proudly claims to be his dad. However, as all stories in tinseltown go, his life changes when he meets the demure newcomer in his city, Aisha (played by Konkona Sen Sharma). What follows is a nicely written story of a platonic relationship, Sid’s self-realisation and coming up of age, and a love affair which finally blossoms.

There are five things that make “Wake Up Sid” a delightful affair.

It has a constant flow throughout; no over the top or understated drama; no ultra emotional strangulation of audiences; absolutely no yuppie cool dude act; and lastly, the film has a well-written, original and refreshing story, something which other movies in recent times have completely overlooked.
