~ Radha Venkatraman ’12
Well I think after watching this movie, whether Sid has woken up or not, I can guarantee that you the viewer definitely would not have slept through this performance. Ranbir Kapoor (Sid) is a spoilt rich kid who is studying in a college in Mumbai. He enjoys life to the tee and in doing so ends up failing his final examination. Konkana SenSharma (Aisha) is a girl who has come down from Calcutta, to fulfill her dreams in the land of opportunity, that is the city of Mumbai. She is the new friend Sid meets, who helps him realize who he truly is and helps him make the transition from a boy to a man. The movie is crisp and intelligent in its presentation, and helps us relate to the situations, the various characters are experiencing. The film has been directed by first time director Ayaan Mukherji, who is a thinking man’s director. The music is by Shankar Ehsaan and Loy who once again have done a great job with the film’s soundtrack. Coco and Ranbir, who have been paired for the first time have given outstanding performances. All in all, this Dharma Production is a must watch and definitely makes you wake up and smell the coffee.
