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.

"Wake Up Sid" is an important reminder that everyone has to grow up one day. I quite liked the messages and the main story in this movie. I thought Ranbir Kapoor did a great job and portrayed a realistic guy who has many flaws but becomes easy to root for. I think the movie does start to drag near the end and hits a few predictable notes, but it's a very solid feel-good movie. I think a lot of young people will find something to relate to in this movie and can definitely learn some important lessons. Overall, it's a crowd-pleasing movie with a great lead performance that I really appreciated as a young person.
