Failing college exams, leaving his house, losing out on friends, how Sid learns to live without the small pleasures of life makes him realize everything. Wake Up Sid made all of us shout out ‘ME’ every time we see Sid navigate his life in a weird direction. Trust Ranbir Kapoor to represent the angst of the millennial generation like no other actor. This is proof that life is not fair and sometimes, we don’t get the closure we deserve.ģ. When Sid goes to apologize to his father Not the most beautiful father-son union but so many people who share a strained, estranged equation with their father would relate. The way Imran cries and chokes on these words “ sorry tab kehna jab yahan se lage”, we all felt that.

The way Naseeruddin tells him that he thought it was better that he never met Imran and reminds him that if Imran wanted the truth, then this is the reality of life. The scene is very complex, and the conversation between the two characters is very transparent if you notice. Who knew while watching ZNMD, you’ll encounter so many emotions packed in one scene? Three friends on a bachelor’s trip, and boom! You see Imran is there meeting an artist who is actually his father, and this was all planned. When Imran meets his father for the first time Makes you believe that fathers might not say it, but they do love you with all their heart.Ģ. When his character evolves, there is not much shown about how his father perceives this ‘sudden’ change of Karan joining the army, but that scene where he calls home and tells his dad (Boman Irani) that he loves him and he is grateful for everything he’s done for him, that hits you hard.

Karan is relatable in more ways than one as a guy lost with no purpose in life, a girl who is tired of waiting for him to grow into a man she can marry, and a father who is perennially disappointed in him wasting his life. Lakshya was a ‘coming-of-age’ movie and one of the best of our times.
