The film is a bit slow-paced in first half and predictable to the extent of being boring in some parts. Nevertheless, it picks up in the second half and some of the scenes have turned out well...

3 of 4 people found this review helpful Wake Up Sid does not go in for an out-and-out humourous take on Ranbir's character. Neither does it give long, melodramatic sermons...

Wake Up Sid strikes the right cord from the onset. With simple but tight screenplay, delicate dialogues and lots of freshness, the movie leaves you tingled all over with joy. No exaggerated scenes, no unnecessarily long flash backs, no fuss, no melodrama...

1 of 1 people found this review helpful 'Wake Up Sid!' is an essentially Ranbir film where the actor portrays the role of a rich spoilt brat with great elan. A rude youngster, who shares a complicated experience with his parents, Sid is a typical college guy who loves living life kind size...

It has a constant flow throughout; no over the top or understated drama; no ultra emotional strangulation of audiences; absolutely no yuppie cool dude act; and last but not the least, this is an original and refreshing story...

An average youth can relate to Sid since it's a common phase most might experience in life when one has to shoulder responsibilities after a spoon-fed life...

Wake up Sid is a very mature first attempt from director Ayan; he deliberately slows things down to deepen his story by developing characters and plot, and ultimately we're left with a very memorable character...
