Wake Up Youth!
Wake up Youth
This Sunday I went to watch a film called "Wake Up Sid" directed by debutant director Ayan Mukherjee, with my colleagues. I knew from reviews it's good movie and was hoping to see some refreshing performances, not Dil Chahta Hai meets Lakshya...
Ranbir Kapoor as Sid(short name for Siddharth) proved that he has charm and confidence to see as one of the leading actors in film industry. Opposite him is Konkona Sen as Aisa, a Bengali girl came to make her mark in Mumbai, inspiring to become writer. She is one of the most natural and gifted actress in the industry. She effortlessly portrays emotions of joy when she gets a new job or when she finds rented flat, jealousy when she is talking with Sid's intern cum probable girlfriend whom Sid meets in parent's anniversary party. Enough!
One scene I will remember when Sid's mother reveals reason behind her try to learn speaking in English that she just wanted to be friend with her son. Few drops of tears came into my eyes!
We really don't try to see this angle. Our parents may want to be treated like friends. They also want to go to movie or share ice-cream with us. They want to share their feeling, experiences so that it will help to deal with our problems.
The movie says a lot about today's Pizza eating youth, happy-enjoy-let's-go lifestyle, laziness, "bachha" attitude(read: immaturity). Message given to today's youth is
"Be hardworking and Goal oriented, Try to be independent and well-managed."
I look at other aspect of parents as well. Workaholic parents are ignoring child's growth, their demands. They are always busy with work, concentrated on money-making with not remembering that why and for whom they are making money.
At the end I'll say a good try by Ayan and gave a refreshing and decent movie.
