Wake up Sid !
Good morning to those whose eyes have been opened by this movie. Good morning to those who just woke up from a long slumber and realized what they have lost and what now they can achieve. Good morning to those who came to know what their dreams are and what will give them happiness. A very good morning to all of those who know what they are and not only their eyes but their heart has opened as well.
Today is Sunday and we celebrated it by watching Wake up Sid . I carefully used the word celebrated because that is what I really mean. I would like to thank Bollywood and Karan Johar for in last few months perhaps it was the only worthy movie to waste your money on.
There are two schools in literature both in Hindi as well as in English literature – one is “Art’s for Art’s sake” and other is “Art’s for Society’s sake”. Those who belonged to the first school they believed that Art’s only aim is to provide pleasure and it should be treated only as arts and nothing else. They were far from the reality of life and thus their literature was hollow . And those who belonged to the other school they believed that arts and literature has a purpose . They are made for human beings, not that human beings are made for them. So their literature was for society’s welfare and to show the absurd and harsh realities of life. When we see today’s cinema we can clearly notice the same classification. Some movies are made just to entertain , they give little to ponder upon and to worse , they are not even made artistically. While some movies throw a last long impression upon us. They teach us something , they inspire us in our life and we are touched by them. In Bollywood the ratio of such movies are unfortunately still less and the main reason of it is that we don’t have good original writers.
Coming back to the movie , I would like to say that yes it inspired me a lot . I was one who had little idea of what gave me pleasure and what is my dream , but now I know – I know what I would love to do my whole life. Besides this , I think the characters of the story were really something – something real – something original. And I must say both actors played their role very well and took out the character splendidly. The simplicity of actions and story is almost magical. You are really spellbound to see the simplicity of their love ; the most complex emotion in the universe. And secretly you dream of experiencing this magic yourself.

I think you wanted to say something else, perhaps about arrogant, self obsessed art.
