wake up shit

Last night we went to see Wake Up Sid.

And I will try and save you all the pain by telling you that unless you want to watch Hannah Montana meets Karan Johar, and they tell each other touching tales about Bambi the deer, stay away.

Sid is a typical Mumbai guy. Right? Then how come I’ve never met someone like him, not because he’s rich and aimless. But because he’s the world’s greatest ass.

He meets a girl. Who he shacks up with. And even when she’s quivering and making constipated cow like eyes at him, he doesn’t grab the chance. Forget sex, not even a fucking kiss.

Oh, and the chick. The whole first half I thought she was a lesbian. Because she keeps insisting, “Don’t get the wrong idea, hum sirf dost hain.” Dude, that went out with Salman saying “Ek ladka aur ladki kabhi dost nahi ban sakte.”

Anyway, for three hours, all you do is watch these two losers as they boil eggs, and make pasta, and sleep in separate beds. What, is this a bloody Disney movie? Sleeping beauty meets Cinderella?

Oh, but wait, we have come of age. There is one scene. Where after days of sharing a one room flat, and making moony eyes, they finally tumble into bed together . To do what? Cuddle and sleep. Are these people in class two? Yesh, I could be sick.

And that bit, where he wears her nightshirt because he’s missing her. Dear lord, is this man for real? A woman wearing a guy’s shirt – sexy. A guy wearing a chick’s shirt, freaking hell, he’s been dancing at the rainbow parade.

Anyway, at the end of the movie, M tells us the director is gay. Maybe that explains it. Why the girl doesn’t choose the dishy Rahul Khanna over Ranbeer. Why Ranbeer doesn’t ever make even a half hearted attempt at a move. Why Konkona, who by the way, plays the girl, wants to be just dosts!

And finally, did you know, that...gasp... after a three torturous hours, the guy and the girl, realise they are in love with each other and then....we have......gasp...a passionate kiss on the forehead.

I want my money back.

The Band with Who do you love? I kept thinking this song would be so appropriate for the previous post.

Gia Fernandes said...

Do you realise the kind of power you have? And the fact that you could make tons of money if you worked for KJo's rivals?

P.S. I'm going to watch the movie anyway. Yes, I'm that stupid!

Nανєєη said...

@himanshu: come lets voice a protest. and try and get our money back, sood samet.

@small miracle: noooo. spend the money on a stiff drink instead.

@pancho: you are welcome. Smurfs-meets-Sesame Street-type raunchless Bollywood disappointment. absolutely dude.

@sugarcube: : )ya, KJo does not need our money.

@ATMM: smart. i think i'll make the same promise to myself.

@anita: nooo. i do not want KJo to see this. He is my ticket to SRK. droooooool.

@meghana: really, i'm a complete sucker for snazzy trailers. but like i said, i saw jackie bhagnani! woo hooo. full paisa vasool.

@The knife: lol. smart.

@Rashmi: you are welcome. enjoy the 200 bucks you saved from being a complete wash out.

@cloudcutter: does KJo have rivals? kooky the gremlin? chippie the grasshopper?

enjoy cloudcutter. carry a barf bag. and let me know how it goes.

agent green glass said...

@swaminaveen: ya. the only fun part of the movie was trying to yell mumbai everytime they said bombay. and all the glares some serious KJo fans were giving us.

Kokonad said...

WOW !!! 19 comments and still counting... You sure have a great fan following.

BTW I shared the link to your review on my FB profile as well. Hope you don't mind.

And yes before I close, thank you for all your words of encouragement on my blog. Hope to see you there and on my site more often. :)

Flickering Cursor said...

Now, if only all reviewers say it like this. Brutally honest and totally relatable. Raja Sen would be proud. You should be doing this more often (meaning, for more films).
Ranbir's annoyance-scale went off the charts with Saawariya. And he hasn't looked back hence.

Soin said...

they should have put that wake up sid song in the last..puts u to sleep so nicely..bad movie and all hype it up.. free

Shamanth Huddar said...

frickinnn hilarious!!!

and "A guy wearing a chick’s shirt, freaking hell, he’s been dancing at the rainbow parade." - DAMN RIGHT YOU ARE!

Shamanth Huddar said...

and btw, one can only expect these yash johar/chopra banners to excel in sheer dumbness!

Gia Fernandes said...

Oh he has loads of rivals - RGV, Vishal Bharadwaj, Ashutosh Gowariker etc etc. You could make a killing.
I haven't gone to see yet, waiting for someone to buy me a ticket and some caramel popcorn.

ani_aset said...
