film: wake up sid!

Wake up sid directed by ayan mukherjee is all about a young boy Sidharth mehra alias Sid, who has just completed his college days. As his father is a successfull businessman, he is blessed with all lucks and facilities which every boy of his age dreams. But these things only make him lazy, irresponsible and unmotivated. Things turn upside down when final exam results are out and Sid had to leave his home.
Then he moves to the flat of his friend Ayesha banerjee, aspiring writer, working with a magazine. (Eventhough both of them have contrasting characters, they are good friends) Sid's life and lifestyles take a deviation during life with ayesha and slowly he matures as a man...
The story is nothing new, but the narration doesnt feel stale. Ranbir as Sid and Konkana as Ayesha were perfect choices and that make us watch the film without boredom. Ranbir is excellent as disordered guy and Konkana is brilliant as matured girl. Anupam Kher also delivered a decent performance as Senior Mehra.
Music by Sankar Ehsaan Loy team is also good.
Thank god, the director was kind enough to avoid usual masala mix action and bikini songs, and i think that is a big plus in this film. Also the film has some touching moments which even reminds us about our parents and responsibilities.
For me, Wake up Sid is a well made, watchable, youthful movie which can attract youth to theatres.
(Tail piece: The film in parts reminded me of malayalam film 'Ivar vivahithar aayaal', which also tells the story of a young, goalless boy, who had to leave home)
