Wake Up Sid
Genre: Drama

Director: Ayan Mukerji
Producer: Dharma Productions
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Plot: This is the story of Sidharth Mehra, a lazy, unmotivated, slacker boy from Bombay whose life undergoes a series of changes after taking his final year college exams. Sid’s world is breezy, carefree, and without any true responsibilities. The most important elements in his life are his friends, his camera, his car, and his X-box 360. Sid thrives around his two best friends, Rishi and Laxmi, very rarely communicates with his mother, Sarita and takes his father, Ram, and all his hard earned wealth for granted. Despite all these traits, Sid is an honest boy; sweet, funny, and above all, a good friend. Aisha, an aspiring writer from Calcutta, learns this soon enough when her path crosses with Sid’s on her first day in Bombay. Ambitious, well-read, and driven, Aisha has come to Bombay to realize her dreams as a writer. Despite their contrasting personalities, Sid becomes Aisha’s first friend in the city. As Aisha sets up her life in Bombay, with the help of Sid and his gang, Sid allows for time to fly by over long drives, parties that stretch well into dawn, and endless hours doing absolutely nothing. But summers vary rarely dull these days and Sid’s summer is no different. A series of circumstances and events compel him to take stock of his life and take a hard look at himself. Will he, at some point, figure out what he’s supposed to be doing with his life? Wake up, Sid!

With the promise of every major Nazi officer in attendance, the event catches the attention of the “Basterds”, a group of Jewish-American guerilla soldiers led by the ruthless Lt. Aldo Raine.
