== Plot ==

Siddharth "Sid" Mehra ([[Ranbir Kapoor]]) is an extremely lazy and careless college student in his early twenties living in [[Mumbai]] who does not know what he wants to pursue. He hates college and his creativity and talent for photography are often disregarded and ignored. He barely stays awake at night to study for the final exams and forces himself to sleep. His father Ram Mehra ([[Anupam Kher]]) is a wealthy businessman who wants him to excel while his mother Sarita Mehra ([[Supriya Pathak]]) is a housewife who pampers him.

Sid walks out of his final exam early, feeling deprived of sleep and insecure about his lack of direction in life compared to his friends. At his college's farewell party, Sid meets and befriends Aisha Banerjee ([[Konkona Sen Sharma]]), an aspiring writer who recently moved from her hometown of [[Kolkata]]. With Sid's help, Aisha rents a flat in a small apartment and lands a job at ''Mumbai Beat'' (based on ''[[Time Out (company)|Time Out! Mumbai]]''), a hip magazine company run by editor-in-chief Kabir Choudhary ([[Rahul Khanna]]).

When the final exam results arrive, Sid learns that he failed while the rest of his classmates and friends passed, delaying his graduation for at least another year. He vents his frustration on his friends and storms off. At his house, Sid gets angry at his parents and ends up hastily leaving the house after a livid blowout. Aisha allows him to temporarily stay at her apartment but finds him to be unorganized and careless with her house. One night, she loses her temper and berates him for his inability to look after himself. Sid confides in her that he now realizes his dependence on his father's wealth, motivating him to seek work of his own.

Aisha helps Sid land a job as a photography intern at ''Mumbai Beat''. The internship motivates Sid to be more responsible and productive, and he begins helping out with chores around the house. He eventually gets hired full-time at ''Mumbai Beat'' and receives his first paycheck. He immediately goes to visit his father in his office for the first time in months to show him his paycheck, leading the two to tearfully reconcile. Aisha goes on several dates with Kabir, but realizes they have little in common and that she has developed feelings for Sid. Aisha is heartbroken to learn that Sid is moving back in with his family and lashes out at him, causing Sid to leave without realizing Aisha's feelings for him.

The day after Sid moves back into his family's house, he receives the latest issue of ''Mumbai Beat'', which contains both his photographs as well as Aisha's article of her life in Mumbai and love for an unnamed person. Realizing that the article is about her feelings for him, Sid immediately rushes from his car through the rain to the seafront where Aisha is. He confesses his love for her and they both embrace.

Mayank Shekhar of the ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars and states, "''Wake Up Sid'' belongs to a sweet genre that, without doubt, flows on from [[Farhan Akhtar]]'s ''[[Dil Chahta Hai]]'' (2001): part-Hollywood; part-Bollywood; mostly coming-of-age; subtly romantic; largely original; authentic in feel; light in weight; English in expression; Hindi in language."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com:80/cinema-news/mayankshekhar/Review-Wake-Up-Sid/Article1-460736.aspx|title=Review: Wake Up Sid!- Hindustan Times|date=8 October 2009|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091008010542/http://www.hindustantimes.com:80/cinema-news/mayankshekhar/Review-Wake-Up-Sid/Article1-460736.aspx|archive-date=8 October 2009}}</ref> Avijit Ghosh of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave it 3.5 out of 4 stars and suggests that, "''Wake Up Sid'' becomes a sort of template of how GenNow navigate their lives: deal with their own little rebellions, find meaning to their own definitions of independence and handle their own set of mistakes. It feels good when the two friends finally meet in driving rain under the grey skies by the sea. Refreshing and heart-warming, ''Wake Up Sid'' really puts you in the mood for love."<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Wake-Up-Sid/moviereview/5081263.cms Wake Up Sid Movie Review, Trailer, & Show timings at Times of India].

Retrieved on 13 January 2017.</ref> Noyon Jyoti Parasara of ''[[AOL]] India'' gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars and praised the director saying, "Ayan Mukerji arrives in style and manages to leave his own mark on the film despite having a producer like Karan Johar whose other productions always tend to have his stamp.

Joginder Tuteja of the ''[[Indo-Asian News Service]]'' (IANS) calls the film "flawless" and gave it 3.5 stars out of 5. He states: "There are 5 things that make ''Wake Up Sid'' a delightful affair. It has a constant flow throughout; no over-the-top or understated drama; no ultra-emotional strangulation of audiences; absolutely no yuppie cool dude act; and last but not the least, this is an original and refreshing story."<ref name="delightful">{{cite web |url=http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/entertainment/wake-up-sid-a-delightful-movie-film-review-rating-12_100255172.html |title='Wake Up Sid' a delightful movie (Film Review – Rating: *** 1/2) |access-date= 8 November 2009 |last=Tuteja |first= Joginder |date= 2 October 2009 |publisher= IANS }}</ref> Rachel Saltz of ''[[The New York Times]]'' argues that: "With no big production numbers (songs play over montage sequences), a quiet style and credible characters, ''Wake Up Sid'' is Bollywood in an indie mood, a film for people like Aisha and Sid: young and educated. It may not be as hip as ''Bombay Beat'', the magazine where the two work, but it shows that Mr. Mukerji is a director to watch."<ref name="nytrev">[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/03/movies/03wake.html?_r=1 New York Times review].

In one point of criticism, Sudhish Kamath of [[Chennai|Chennai's]] ''[[The Hindu]]'' labeled the closing moments as a "stock-ending" and noted that, despite the film's overall effectiveness, the ending "leaves you a little disappointed."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-cinemaplus/wake-up-to-a-fresh-breeze-wake-up-sid/article3021998.ece|title=Wake up to a fresh breeze – Wake Up Sid|author=Sudhish Kamath|work=The Hindu|date=9 October 2009|access-date=15 June 2015}}</ref> [[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']]'s [[Joe Leydon]] found the film "instantly forgettable", but praised the performances of Sharma and Kapoor, as well noting how "effortlessly appealing" the film is, stating: "...this atypically low-key Bollywood romantic comedy somehow manages to remain pleasantly diverting throughout its 138-minute running time."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2009/film/markets-festivals/wake-up-sid-1200476968/|title=Review: Wake Up Sid|author=Joe Leydon|publisher=Variety|date=6 October 2009|access-date=15 June 2015}}</ref>

===Controversy===
On 2 October, [[Maharashtra Navnirman Sena]] supporters protested to halt the screening of ''Wake Up Sid'' in [[Mumbai]] and [[Pune]]. The MNS objected the use of the word "Bombay" instead of "Mumbai" in the movie.

===Shooting===
''Wake Up Sid'' was entirely shot in [[Mumbai]], covering the areas of [[South Mumbai]] and [[Bandra]]. The college sequence was shot at [[H.R. College of Commerce and Economics]] near [[Churchgate]], Mumbai.

===Trivia===
* Ranbir Kapoor was the original choice for the lead role. Director Ayan Mukerji wrote the film keeping him in his mind.
* Like Ranbir, Konkona Sen Sharma was the original choice for the role of Aisha Banerjee. In an Interview to a TV channel, Ranbir said that Ayan had already thought about casting her in the film but he didn't tell that to him. However, after the narration of the script it was Ranbir himself who coincidentally recommended Konkona's name to Ayan mainly because she suited the character and no other actress from his generation could have played Aisha better than Konkona.
* Ayan Mukherji took around one and a half year to write the story, script and screenplay of the movie. He then narrated the script to Karan Johar who approved the script in one narration and decided to produce it.
* The song "Iktara" was not originally used in the soundtrack. Ranbir loved the song in the background and he wanted to use the song officially in some other film, if it is not used properly in the film. However, later the song was used in two different versions - Female and Male that were picturized on Konkona and Ranbir respectively.

===Television Rights===
''Wake Up Sid''<nowiki/>'s television rights were sold to [[Colors TV|Colors]] at the time of its premiere, whence it would subsequently premiere on [[Star India|UTV Movies]], and later [[Bindass]]. Eventually, after the [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|Disney acquisition of Star India]], the film began premiering with multiple slot re-runs on [[Star India|Star Gold Select]].

===Home Video===
''Wake Up Sid''<nowiki/>'s [[DVD]] were published by UTV Home Video.
