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
