Wake up SID promos seemed promising, in fact it’s music tracks too seemed nice. The promoters also did a good job while promoting and publicizing the film, when they put up new ads of the movie everyday in d papers describing wat SID did’unusual’ from the’rest’ on that day. But, when it really matters, I feel, the movie doesn’t live upto the hype at all!
Just imagine the concept of the movie when it was being promoted, it seemed to promise a lot of fun, with SID going in college and enjoying with his friends and partying all the time. True, this was there, but portrayed very poorly and the main reason for that being the absence of the’fun’ part! Ya, dats true, the college days which could have been so’green’ seemed really’grey’ and’bland’.
The flow of the movie was quite slow and it really lacked the energy to atleast motivate you(mature audience) to carry on watching the movie. There are many a cliches and the story seems quite predictable, the promos too hinted a predictable story but the way the movie was presented was very dull.
Well, some positives from the movie could be the acting of Konkana, she gives a good performance but again she really did not have enough support from her co-stars in this section as it was a pretty mediocre performance from Ranbir, who could have been much better in many ways. Rahul Khanna was average, so was Anupam Kher, but both did not have much roles to play. Kainaz Motiwala, seemed charming though.
Overall, not a good movie to watch as it could have been a lot better and more fun too.
Don’t be surprised if, at the end of the movie, the guy next to u, might just tell u, ’Wake up dude.’
