Ranbir’s Performance
Wake Up Sid wouldn’t be what it is today without Ranbir Kapoor’s iconic performance. Playing the role of a young and spoilt boy who not just finds love but also himself, Ranbir Kapoor brings a unique freshness to his role.

Konkona’s Performance
If Ranbir Kapoor is the heart of this movie, then Konkona Sen Sharma is its soul. A brilliant actress, Konkona truly encapsulates the confusion, nervousness, and excitement that comes with moving to a new city all by yourself.

The Movie’s Music
No movie is complete without its soundtrack, and Wake Up Sid isn’t different. Music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the songs of this movie are iconic to date. If you go to Marine Drive and don’t listen to Iktara at least once, something doesn’t feel right, and that’s the magic of Wake Up Sid’s soundtrack.
