Trivia: Wake Up Sid

I never felt like writing a snipper review on ‘…..Sid’. Below is more of Trivia and was evolved while exchanging emails with friends.

Well the movie wasn’t that impactful as far as I am concerned. I was having great expectations from the earlier reviews I read (I could only see Gautam’s review in the evening.) The movie was not captivating. It was a bit boring in between. Also the Ranbir - Konkona chemistry didn’t fly. Konkona was very artificial as compared to her almost all the roles. Ranbir was splendid one more time, played 6-7 year younger character with ultimate ease. For Anupam it was usual stuff. Supriya Pathak was very melodramatic and again a bit artificial, especially in the scene when Ranbir tells her about his failure in the exam. Rahul Khanna looks (walks and carries himself) more like a model than an Editor. Namit Das is great find. Ayan as a Director is good but could have made the movie more interesting.

Trivia
Moon: Ranbir and Konkona at Marine Drive, before sipping the cutting chai. At the left top of the screen you can see a full moon, a small one though. The same shot cuts-off when the moon is still on the left top quadrant (the direction and place in the sky is changed), but a Crescent though J

Emails: Ranbir in his dad’s office is browsing the Microsoft outlook email, clicks an email and bang… it opens the email in Hotmail J Does Microsoft support that?

Vodka?: Ranbir at the ‘Mumbai Feat’ party. Ranbir asks for vodka. The glasses and drink that is served doesn’t look like Vodka. (I may be wrong in interpreting this, not a connoisseur J)

The girl in college who hates Ranbir (Debbie?): While paying Ranbir’s pizza bill she tell him the truth of hating him. Apparently she has lost a year because she didn’t get the admission
in the college because of Sid. Also apparently Sid has not failed barring the last year. How come they can be in the same class then?

Konkona’s apartment: Apparently it’s a 4 storied apartment. The terrace shown is probably of a sky scraper J

One more from script flaw standpoint ;)
Konkona’s interview at Mumbai Beat - She mentions to Rahul that she has only 2 months prior work experience. Well she is already 27, looks to be from middle class family, has only done her graduation, has come all the way to Mumbai looking for a job, and still can afford to set-up a flat in Mumbai, ideally she should have been carrying more experience than just 2 months J

And a very subtle on the b/g score:
Ranbir and his mom: When he comes to meet his mom at their home, there is an Indian string instrument (Sitar?) played in the b/g. It’s patchy and doesn’t go well with the texture of the movie. I guess everywhere else it’s more of Western / Fusion kind of music used.

Please don’t get me wrong here. Some of these observations may be wrong, but it’s fun watching the movie this way as well;) Again no offenses against anyone as movie making is probably one of the hardest performing arts and in fact a nicest amalgamation of number of such arts into one. So hats off to movie making.
