Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Despite the obvious passages, Mukherjee shows he has a way of adding nuance to a scene. Wake Up Sid is a promising first effort. Rated: 3/5 Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Despite a storyline that would require a few more subplots to qualify as featherweight, this atypically low-key Bollywood romantic comedy somehow manages to remain pleasantly diverting throughout its 138-minute running time. Oct 6, 2009 Full Review Sakhi Thirani Common Sense Media Wake Up Sid is a coming-of-age film that celebrates the friendship between its two leads and how their relationship develops into something more. Rated: 4/5 Nov 9, 2023 Full Review Jimmy Cage Jimmy Cage Movie Reviews (YouTube) WAKE UP SID is a somewhat mellow, but still sweet coming-of-age story with nice performances and a good dose of romance. Rated: 7/10 Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Vedant S It was a good watch overall. Surprised with the tomato meter, should have been 85+. Yeah I know there were flaws like...urgh, it's very rare to find flaws in this film but still I couldn't find it. So 4 star is suited for it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review Faiz D A really cool coming-of-age film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Anurag D A must see for youth, specially if u r in final year of college. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review arun s 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A pleasant and likeable coming-of-age tale. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member YEAH I Really liked it.

This was an awesome movies a lot of things can be learned from this one and definitely not like the typical shitty movies of bollywood . this have a different flavour. I personally enjoyed it .
