Very Cool!!!

Such a frustrating disappointment

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Wake Up Sid has a storyline similar to several Bollywood films. It revolves around a love story, but it has a unique way of showing it.I think of the movie as the average Bollywood blockbuster. But at the same time, I can't deny having enjoyed it. It has big actors which most viewers already know of, like Anupam Kher. It follows a predictable story: two people fall in love, and they eventually propose to each other, and the movie ends. And of course, contrary to Indian soap operas, the movie revolves around ordinary people that the audience can relate to.In a sentence, the movie's about how the immature son of a rich businessman learns to be mature from an independent writer from Calcutta, and how the two of them then fall in love.The themes that Wake Up Sid concerns are only too similar to themes that Bollywood films have already discussed several times in the past: Rich vs. Poor, Love Conquers All, Mature vs. Immature, and a few other social and personality themes.At times, the movie felt over-dramatic. I don't know what to say. It is not a Hollywood movie, though it's trying to be. It's not a unique movie like Taare Zameen Par that faces unique issues rarely/never discussed before in Bollywood films. It truly is an average film. But I'm giving it 9/10 stars because it's something that I enjoyed. So I'd recommend you watching it.

i rate this movie 10/10 because i really enjoyed this movie whenever i watch it. i have watched this movie more than 10 times. For me the best part of the movie is the company between Sid and Aisha. Any way the motto of this movie is also too inspiring; make your carrier in the field which you like most. Another combination of this movie for me is that i have watched this movie at first in the multiplex of Mumbai when i have been there for first time and still it is first and last time. The day before watching this movie I have visited Mumbai,some places where this movie is shot and after coming out from the multiplex there was a sudden rain, and i like it most.The sea is amazing in movie and in real too. Mumbai is always best so as this movie is; WAKE UP SID !!!!!!

Wake up Sid is a movie with a simple plot, a typical love story and a predictable ending...an average movie - WRONG!I stumbled upon this movie while surfing the net and decided to give it a try; and I'm more than pleased that I did. Everything about this movie just made me love it. Maybe it was the realistic script, the believable emotions portrayed by the every actor and not just the leads, or maybe it was the fairytale journey we're taken on throughout every second of this film. There were glitches here and there in the acting and the background score, but the film's beauty redeems it of all that. I was in a rut at the start of this movie, but by the end of it I must say I was pretty much in a euphoric state. The casting was perfect, from Chottu the servant, to Sid and Aisha the lead roles. Everyone seemed to fit perfectly into this picture perfect cast. Everything about this movie was pretty average, but when put together they made something that wasn't quite so average - a stunningly beautiful piece of work. The thing that struck me the most was just how raw and believable all the emotions were - from the unconditional love between a mother and son, to the forgiveness of a friend we've hurt. At some point of this movie, it stopped being a movie and started feeling more like your own life. Who of us couldn't picture ourselves as Sid, the guy looking to get something out of life more than just the fun parts; or Aisha, the ambitious girl trying to start a life of her own. Every scene was just so refreshing that you simply don't want this movie to end.By the end of the film and as the credits roll, I found myself smiling for no apparent reason, but this movie just made me feel so...happy, ecstatic even. This movie is just what a romantic comedy should be like and who better than bollywood to show us how it's done. 7/10

Movie looks confused, so does the protagonist of the movie 'Sid', first half is still watchable, but second half is just waste. The movie tries to deal with the easy going high society brats, but ends up being just another movie, people who are rating this movie high, are keeping the base as other pathetic melo-drama's, but let me tell you, this movie is not raising the bar whatsoever, neither in acting nor in directing. Movie concept does have little potential, if it was made with clearer mind, it could have done justice to the plot.Rating of 7.5 on IMDb, seems too much to me, its like comparing it with likes of The Illusionist, The Aviator, which i seem is insult of other two movies. So, in my regard, people with international taste buds, should consider it as 6.0.
