Despite the obvious passages, Mukherjee shows he has a way of adding nuance to a scene. Wake Up Sid is a promising first effort.

A decent one time watchable movie, which could have been better in the later half. It has the feel of a web series, which isn't bad per se, but you hope a few situations were presented differently.
