WAKE UP SID (2009)

Sid Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor) is the ultimate Peter Pan; a slacker in college with no goals and zero ambition, who's used to riding his parents' money train to both get through life and go clothes shopping.  At a party he meets the beautiful, ambitious Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma), who has come to the big city to break in as a journalist, and the two hit it off well ... until an argument with his father over Sid's lack of future sends Sid to room with Aisha (who is even less tolerant of his slovenly ways), where even a chance at independence falls on his deaf and rather childish ears.  The two leads make this film of one man's belated leap to adulthood (or not?) both completely believable and wholly charming, in a beautifully-felt Bollywood production that lacks the usual big production numbers of Bollywood films ... and is that much better, more intimate, for it.  (not rated)  *****
