Yes, says film critic Rachel Saltz of The New York Times.1 Today, in her film review of “Wake Up Sid”, Miss Saltz is appreciative of the character portrayal (“credible”) and directorial style (“quiet) that she gleans from this romantic comedy.
Ms. Sharma has made a specialty of characters like Aisha: independent urban women, whose dreams involve careers as well as love. Her Aisha is a nuanced creation — ambitious, sympathetic, believable — and Mr. Mukerji, making his directing debut, is right to let her run away with the film. Mr. Kapoor, who in his short career has played variations on the cute cad, does well to keep up.
But, no productions numbers? Here’s a trailer for you to judge for yourself. It opened yesterday in theaters nationwide.
