Undoubtedly, this is Ayan's Best Work and best Writing till date but he couldn't help adding that Dharma's Glamourous Touch which harmed the soul of the script. Konkona is as always superb and the supporting cast is good. Later, he did Barfi and Sanju that cemented his matured acting skills forever. With this film, i can say, Ranbir got his first ever variable and matured role. There are some flaws here and there and it's little long because of songs but thankfully every single song in this film is gonna get you grooving. That urban touch took away the simplicity and wide appeal but whatever it has to say, it's awfully enough for the projected audience. Wake Up Sid used the same formula for youthful drama but the film is highly driven according to taste of multiplex audience. In Bollywood, there was a masterpiece like 'Jagriti' (1954) with the same formula blended with education system and just like that many other films added something of their own by keeping the same idea at centre. ![]() This same formula has been used in so many films that i can't even count easily. Hollywood Classic 'Captain Courageous' (1937) started this formula way back in 30s where a spoilt rich and naughty child learns the discipline from a wild, poor man. Wake Up Sid is the same old formula of a spoilt boy turning into a matured and responsible man. You know from teenager to youth and from youth to manhood, there is only a small gap of 4-5 years but for some people it takes a decade to cross these phases of life. Wake Up Sid written and directed by Ayan Mukerji may not please audience of a certain matured age (35+ i mean) because it does not really have that sort of intellectual tonic but it is simply unmissable and irresistable life-lesson for youth audience who are still climbing up the ladder of becoming matured, especially the backbenchers.
