Wake Up Sid! Is dialogue heavy, and ironically, this aspect is sorely disappointing. Dialogues are monotonous and has everyone speaking in the same unreal explanatory manner, devoid of any individual quirks...

It is a simple story told in a straight manner without frills. Brilliant performance of Konkona and Ranbir also adds charm to the movie...

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...

Wake Up Sid has its heart in place, but it still doesn't have much of a plot or novelty to rely upon....

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 could have been just another spoilt-brat's coming-of-age flick plenty of attitude but bereft of soul. But it ends up being much, much more...

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...

'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...

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...

The movie marks the directorial debut of a young director Ayan Mukherji and is worth applauding. Well directed and a well balanced movie and has raised the story beautifully...

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...

Wake Up Sid maintains an almost sleepy, deliberate pace, unhurried in these rushed times and a refreshing change...

The pacing in the first half is very slow. Towards interval, the film gathers an emotional momentum but afterward it becomes slack again...

"Wake Up Sid" has a very interesting plot of knowing your hidden talents, where Ranbir finds out that he has got a great unexplored talent of photography. His raw skills also fetch him a job in a leading magazine...
