Ayan Mukerji makes a solid debut as a director with his maiden venture, WAKE UP SID.Mukerji is in control of the proceedings right from the word go. There is a level of rare maturity in his handling of the two lead actors so diverse in their approach to cinema. One a bubblegum, chocolate hero; another, a solid performer known more for her intense performances.Mukerji’s control comes to the fore in his handling of every scene.He never goes over the top, and even the perpetual ‘bunch of friends at college’ are refreshingly used.There is also a smart smattering of an interesting mix of English numbers used to light up certain moods, which works as a stimulant.WAKE UP SID, is a mature love story. On one hand of the spectrum, you have a mature, older woman in search of her independence and on the other hand, you have an irresponsible, immature lad who is so dependent on his parents and their wealth. One day there is a wake up call from where begins his inward journey to unraveling the man within.

‘Wake Up Sid’ is a transition of a boy into a man which has been beautifully depicted through the story telling of young director Ayan Mukerji. The movie revolves around Sidharth (Ranbir Kapoor), a rich spoilt brat, who has a small world that consists of his college friends Rishi (Namit Das) and Laxmi (Shikha Talsania) and his comic books, PSP, iPod, swanky car, credit cards, his camera and his house help chotu. Sid is least interested in spending time with his parents Ram Mehra (Anupam Kher) and Sarita (Supriya Pathak) and is spoilt to the core.

Its only after he fails his graduation exams and bitterly walks out of his parents’ home to stay with a new found friend Aisha Bannerjee (Konkona Sen Sharma) does he realize how aimless his life is and from there on starts a transition… a journey of a young spoilt brat into a mature responsible man, though still, a child at heart. Not only Aisha but also all other characters big or small make him realize his follies in life and also strengthens his relationship with his parents and friends in the movie.

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.
