Bollywood Hungama : Wake Up Sid Movie Review Rating 4/5 by TARAN ADARSH
Ayan Mukerji packs in a solid punch in most parts of the film Wake Up Sid. The emotional moments especially gets you all moist-eyed. The humour too is well integrated in the sequences. Even the confrontation between the father and son is superb. There’s no denying that Ranbir Kapoor is a supremely talented actor, but in WAKE UP SID, he proves that he’s amongst the best in the business today. No one could’ve portrayed Sid as effectively as Ranbir has enacted, that’s for sure. This is an award-worthy performance.

On the whole, WAKE UP SID is a well-made film that should strike a chord with the youth mainly. A metro-centric film, the film should attract its target audience and should also prove to be the first choice of the elite/urban audience this Friday. Its distributors [UTV] have very rightly released the film at plexes of metros and mini-metros [instead of flooding the market with physical and digital prints], which in turn should only make this small film talked-about in days to come.

REDIFF : Wake Up Sid Movie Review Rating 3/5
Wake Up Sid Movie Review. The first quarter of writer/director Ayan Mukerji’s fresh, romantic and feel-good caper about a boy-in-limbo’s metamorphosis into a man-in-charge is leisurely paced, as if unapologetically echoing Sid’s laidback temperament, an affable yet clueless college lad who snaps at his folks, doodles on his accounts text book to party hard at Ruby Tuesday, gaming arcades, shopping malls and discotheques with his two best friends a plump Betty-types (an instantly likeable Shikha Talsania) and a bearded sensitive Joe (Namit Das, half-amusing), driving a sleek Honda CRV, with an exceptionally trendy wardrobe of cartoon-themed tees (Joker, Dastardly, Beavis & Butthead, Ghostbusters, Tom & Jerry, Snoopy to name a few), cute ‘n’ colourful boxers and a room-filled with all sorts of fanboy toys, gadgets and gizmos.

NDTV Movies : Wake Up Sid Movie Review Rating 3/5
Wake Up Sid Review – Wake Up Sid belongs to Ranbir. The actor is pitch perfect as the dazed and confused Sid. He manages to be infuriating, infantile and loveable in the same moment. We root for him from the minute we see his comic-book socks.

Finally then, Wake Up Sid can’t match Dil Chahta Hai, which even eight years later remains Bollywood’s gold standard for coming-of-age movies.Read Full Review >>

THE NEW DOSE : Wake Up Sid Movie Review Rating 4/5
Wake Up Sid Review – Let me first start by saying that Wake Up Sid is the best film of 2009, with Kaminey. It’s a movie with a big heart and works because of its simplicity.

Wake Up Sid sets another example for the new age cinema of Bollywood. Undoubtedly, it’s a film which will score big time with the college audience. It has its heart at the right place. Second part could have better as it took a lot of time to come to the final point. Ranbir Kapoor is top notch and so is Konkana. Ayan has a bright future in the industry. As for you people, please go and watch this movie. Bunk college, school or whatever, just watch it. And who knows, Wake Up Sid may become a wake up call for you. Read Full Review >>

INDICINE : Wake Up Sid Movie Review Rating 4/5
After a long time we have a refreshing movie, Wake Up Sid, a clean entertainer that can be watched with family or friends. Produced by Dharma Productions, Wake Up Sid stars Ranbir Kapoor and Konkana Sen Sharma in lead roles. Ayan Mukerji directs this feel-good entertainer that does remind you of last year’s super-hit Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na.

Overall, Wake Up Sid is a must watch. A multiplex movie in its truest sense. Highly recommended for youngsters. The older generation (family audience) should enjoy it equally.

Wake Up Sid should do much better than Dostana (which did above-average business) at the box office. The in-theater response was brilliant, everyone seemed to have enjoyed the movie. Karan Johar and his team have done it again. Read Full Review >>
