A Ranbhir Driven movie with new and freshness

Ranbhir can act, this movie shows. I saw saawariya when it came out but it sucked and so did he but Wake up Sid is his movie. He lives up to expectations. He can act and that is for sure. The movie has a new line of story of a college boy and a failed boy from a rich family. His father kicks him out to get his way and find what to do. Today, many spoiled brats are failure and aren't sured about what to do. But within all this, there is something which they are good at, discover that and then go with it. Work hard and get up is the massage of the movie through Sid. Konkana isn't mainstream, why she trying to be one that is a question. She can act but find some movies where she is a central character, this movie belongs to Ranbhir all the way.

Wake up today's youngs and face the reality, the real world isn't what it seems like. Not everyone can have a place to live or finance once they are kicked by someone. Movie is worth watching, do watch it and learn a lesson.

Saawariya was a bad start or so called bad step taken on a laddar but still Ranbhir is a fresh talent and he needs great roles to showcase his talent. Bachena aye haseeno was a sillier movie even he acted and danced in it. It was paying tribute to Rishi with the tittle song. But here a movie which don't have biggy songs although tittle remix but still the movie shines with Ranbhir and Konkana. She needs to stay parallel. Recommending the movie to movie goers and youngsters. Ranbhir ruled, he compared to his debut film and his earlier film. Long way for him to go, so he should chose the right script if he wants to stay. Dancing around the trees or romancing around the trees is old and today is a modern generation which wants to see something new and different.
