Wake up Sid!

Movies can be broadly classified into two categories based on how the Director treats the screenplay/script. A director may choose to modify screenplay to include extra action, songs or item numbers for the so called front-benchers. What they end up with is a movie with lot of bang moments for the so-called mass audience to applaud.
On the other hand, a Director can decide to respect the screenplay and go the Mozart way. He chooses to keep the melody of the screenplay intact. Focus is kept on the main aspects of movie-making like acting, music, costumes and cinematography. Such a movie may not strike chord with the mass audience. But for others who can appreciate it, it will be a movie close to their hearts. Wake up sid is one such perfect symphony. Brilliant acting by Ranbir and others, amazing song lyrics and amazing music. And Ranbir's T-shirts in the movie are AWESOME! Kudos to Ayan Mukherji, the debutant director of Wake up sid for a wonderful movie! And thanks to Karan johar for not adding the "Karan johar element" to this movie! :P
