Wake Up Sid begins by showing a young man named Sidat Mehra, the only child of a wealthy
businessman in Mumbai. Sidat, better known as Sid, is a young man who is often lazy and not
serious in his studies even though he realizes he is in his final year of college. That night before
his college final exams, instead of studying the exam material, Sid actually spent his time playing
games and watching television. As a result, the following day, Sid woke up late and had to rush
to campus without having time to study the exam material at all. While on campus, he was sure that
he would fail his exams this semester and would have to repeat the same course next year. However,
Sid was not upset and felt relieved after knowing that his male best friend, Rishi, seemed to have
difficulty taking the exam so they could repeat the course together next year. After the exams,
Sid invites Rishi and his female best friend named Laksmi, to a nightclub and have fun together.
In the afternoon, before going to the club, they went to a fancy restaurant to eat together and
shopped at a mall to buy very expensive branded goods. Sid casually spends money on the credit
card his father gave him because he likes to spend his money. He even unhesitatingly bought
all the food for his best friend and paid for all their groceries. In the evening, Sid and his best
friend then go to their usual nightclub and spend the whole night partying late into the night.
In the morning, Sid's mother, Sarita Mehta, approaches and invites him to spend time
together because, since college, Sid rarely goes with his mother. However, Sid refuses his mother's
invitation and chooses to spend time playing in his room or hanging out with his friends.
While at the dinner table, Sid's father saw him looking at the photos of the latest car,
so he gave Sid an offer. His father promises to buy the car for Sid if he is willing to work for
his company for three months. At first, Sid refuses the offer because working for three
months is too long, but after his father changes the offer to one month's work, he finally accepts
the offer. In the evening, Sid goes to a farewell party held by one of his college friends named
Debbie. While at the party, a bored Sid decides to take some pictures using his new camera.
At the party, he accidentally takes a photo and meets a girl named Aisya. Aisya is one of Debbie's
friends who recently migrated from Kolkata to apply to a well-known magazine company in Mumbai
as a writer. Sid is surprised because the magazine from the company Aisya is applying for is his
subscription magazine. After all, he is interested in various interesting photos from the magazine.
After talking at Debbie's party, Sid then took Aisya to a beach to enjoy the city view from
across the beach. On that occasion, he asked Aisya if she was not afraid to live alone in a big city
like Mumbai. Aisya explained that she was actually scared, but becoming a writer in the biggest media
company had been her dream since she was young, so she wanted to pursue that dream. In the evening,
Sid took Aisya to her hotel and gave her contact so they could communicate with each other in the
following days. The next day, Sid comes to his father's company, Mumbai's largest furniture
and furniture company. However, Sid decided to come to the company wearing casual clothes
because he felt formal clothes were unsuitable for him. After arriving in the office building,
the employees looked at him cynically because Sid's dress style did not match the office rules.
But after they found out that Sid was the son of the company's owner, the company
secretary immediately greeted him warmly and invited him to wait at his father's office.
After Sid's father arrives, he emphasizes to Sid to be polite and follow company rules because he
is just an ordinary employee like other employees in that office. On the first day, Sid was assigned
by his father to work like other employees and study all company files carefully. However,
because Sid was not interested in his father's company from the start, he got bored easily and
wanted to go home and end the job. While Sid is at work, he gets an email from Aisya informing
him that she has had her first job interview at a Mumbai magazine company. Sid replied to
Aisya's email by telling her about his experience working at his father's company on the first day.
He says everyone in the office looks serious and yoke as they focus on their work.
They don't even budge and ignore him when he is silly dancing on the office table.
One day, Aisya intends to move to another place because the inn that she currently lives in
has too many mice and cockroaches. Sid then helped her by providing some contacts from renters at
affordable prices in Mumbai. A few days after working at his father's company and being forced
to study hundreds of company files, Sid began to feel bored and decided to leave the office.
It seems that he has given up the luxury car he's been wanting because he can't stand all
the workloads of the office anymore. That day, Sid accompanied Aisya to an inn house by a flirtatious
woman named Sonia. After seeing the room that Sonia had rented out, Sid was disappointed because
the room was very dirty and had been neglected for a long time. But Aisya felt comfortable with
the rental house and decided to rent the house because she would clean and redecorate the room.
Moreover, Aisya is very interested in the view of the city from the top floor of the house so that
she can breathe fresh air whenever she wants. Sid then helped Aisya buy some equipment needed
to redecorate the room and called his friends to help them repaint it. A few days later, on the day
of his parent's wedding anniversary, Sid's mother introduces him to a girl named Tanya, the daughter
of one of his father's friends. Shortly after, Sid gets a call from Aisya asking him to come to her
house. Hearing this, Sid, who was bored, decided to leave the party and go to Aisya's house.
There, Aisya invites Sid to celebrate her birthday together because she has never celebrated her
birthday alone. After blowing out the candles and eating the strawberry jam cake, they enjoyed the
night view of the city above the house. The next day, Aisya had a final interview with the CEO of
a Mumbai magazine company named Kabir. After successfully answering all the silly questions
from Kabir, Aisya was finally officially accepted to work at the company. Aisya immediately shares
the happy news with Sid and tells him she has been accepted to work for a Mumbai magazine company.
However, Sid's joy doesn't last long after he learns that he is the only student who doesn't
pass the course while his best friends pass the exam. He was disappointed and frustrated with the
exam results and took all his frustrations out on his best friends and his mother. Sid's father who
heard Sid hurt his mother's feelings immediately scolded him and forced him to apologize to his
mother. However, Sid, who was frustrated and annoyed, even fought with his father until finally
he decided to leave the house. After that, Sid, who had no money, chose to go to Aisya's house
and asked for permission to stay for a few days. Aisya who feels indebted to Sid for everything
he did before, decides to help him and allows him to stay for some time. The next day, Aisya looked
excited because it was her first day of work so she got up early. Meanwhile, Sid, who has no
money and no job at all, wakes up during the day and starts looking for food in the refrigerator.
Unfortunately, in Aisya's refrigerator, Sid couldn't find instant food, and there were only
raw vegetables while he didn't know how to cook at all. After work, Aisya looked surprised to see
the messy condition of her room, but she tried to be patient and immediately tidied the room again.
Even Aisya is kind enough to cook Sid dinner after learning that he has no money to buy food.
The next day at work, Aisya tries to show Kabir her article but he is too busy to see her writing
so she sneaks her article on Kabir's desk. A few days later, Laksmi meets Sid at Aisya's house to
give Sid's favourite things that are still left behind, including his new camera. Sid, who was
bored, immediately continued his hobby, namely taking pictures of various events, activities,
and scenery around the housing. He even learns how to fry eggs with Sonia so he can serve them
to Aisya when she comes home from work. On the other hand, Aisya looks frustrated after Kabir
asks her to remove all the non-important files from his desk and finds out that her article is
included in the file. Due to the stress that Aisya feels from work, when she comes home, she scolds
Sid for not making their bed. Aisya, feeling disgusted, threw her bag on the floor and left
Sid in the house alone. Sid tried to contact Aisya repeatedly to apologize, but she refused the call.
Sid sat quietly on a chair while contemplating all Aisya's previous words, and after he realized his
mistake, he immediately reorganized Aisya's bed. The following day after Aisya returned from her
friend's house, she seemed surprised by the neat and clean room condition. After that, she advised
Sid to return to his house and work for his father's company, but he refused the suggestion
because he wanted to work in the field that he was interested in and by his passion. Hearing this,
Aisya introduces Sid to a photographer director named Amit at the company where she works.
After Amit sees the photos captured by Sid, he seems impressed by Sid's talent and decides to
accept him as an intern in his division. A few days later, on his first day working,
Sid met Tanya, who worked as a designer at the company. Meanwhile, Sid's mother came to Aisya's
house to thank her for being kind enough to accommodate Sid all this time while giving
her some money. But Aisya humbly refused the money because she did that because she considered Sid as
her good friend. Hearing this, Sid's mother gave some of Sid's favourite mangoes for the two to
enjoy together while telling Aisya not to tell Sid about her arrival at her house. Since Sid lived
with Aisya, he began to change into a better person and always tried to help her complete
household chores. He is increasingly active in his work because he has found his passion and enjoys
his work. A few days later, when Sid and Aisya's office was off, Sid then told Aisya that he would
go to a club with Tanya tonight. Hearing this, Aisya congratulates Sid with annoyance and hints
that she is jealous of him and Tanya's closeness, but he doesn't realize it. The following day,
Sid gets an offer to take a picture of a family who lives next to Aisya's house. He then took
pictures of a boy with his mother, which made him remember his childhood memories when he and his
mother spent time together. This incident made Sid aware of his mother's sincere love, so he
immediately went to meet his mother and apologized because he had hurt his mother's heart before.
The next day, Sid meets Amit and asks permission so he can take photos for the next issue of the
magazine because he wants to prove that his work deserves to be included in the magazine.
On the other hand, Aisya's article was finally approved by Kabir to be included in the next
issue of the magazine because her article was very meaningful and touching. A few days passed, and
Aisya began to notice the developments and changes of Sid and she began to be amazed by Sid's talent
and hard work. In the evening, Sid and Aisya went to a traditional Indian music performance party
and seemed to enjoy their company. After coming home from the party, half drunk, Sid invites Aisya
to sleep together. Aisya, who has fallen in love with him, accepts the invitation. On another day,
Sid looks excited after getting a promotion letter to become an assistant photographer and gets
his first salary at the company. Sid went to his father's company to meet him and apologize because
he had run away from home and rejected his offer to work in the company. He says that now he has
a job that matches his passion and he got his first salary. Hearing Sid's words, his father
looks proud of his hard work and he hugs Sid. The next day, Sid decided to return to his parent's
house so he wouldn't bother Aisya anymore. After packing all his things, he then told Aisya that he
would go home that day because his family problem had been resolved. Unfortunately, Aisya looks sad
with Sid, who is about to leave and they end up fighting with each other before Sid returns to his
house. After Sid returned to his house, he seemed happy because he could finally go back to sleep
in his very comfortable and warm room, while Aisya looked lonely after Sid left her house.
One day Sid's servant gave him a Mumbai magazine he had been subscribed to,
and he immediately opened the magazine. Sid accidentally sees an article written by Aisya
and just realizes that the article is a story about Aisya's life experience while in Mumbai
and her meeting with him. At the end of the story, Aisya reveals that she has fallen in love
with Sid, and it makes him realize that Aisya's attitude has been her sincerity and love for him.
Sid immediately rushed to the beach because he felt sure that Aisya was there. After all,
it was their favourite place. The film closes with Sid approaching Aisya and saying that he
also loves her before they finally hug each other, marking the beginning of their love affair.
The moral that can be learned from this movie is the failures we have experienced in life are
not the end of everything, and there will always be another way to the success we dream of.
