They, four drunken young friends, are driving back home. They are happy and high. And Sidharth Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor) wants to enjoy the momentFilm: Wake Up Sid (Romance, Drama)
Cast : Ranbir Kapoor, Konkona Sen Sharma, Supriya Pathak, Anupam Kher, Shikha Talsania, Namit Das, Rahul Khanna.
Director : Ayan Mukerji
Duration: Two hours and 15 minutes
So he sticks his neck out of the sunroof and lets the friendly breeze feel his face. Without ambition or direction, that's how Sid would forever love his life to be: a cool breeze he can waltz with.
But life has a way of throwing up surprises. And none is bigger for the rich, cool kid than the accidental encounter with Aisha Banerjee (Konkona Sen Sharma), a just-arrived girl from Kolkata, the sort who reads Murakami's Norwegian Wood and hangs Woody Allen's Annie Hall posters in her room. She is independent, focused, gritty -- everything Sid is not. But there's a kismat connection between the two. And when Sid gets into a big fight with his dad over his career, or the lack of it, he moves out of his capacious home into Aisha's cuddly apartment. It is the beginning of his education in life and its realities, his first chapters of growing up.
Wake Up Sid could have been just another spoilt-brat's coming-of-age flick: plenty of attitude but bereft of soul. But it ends up being much, much more. And what makes it special is debutant director Ayan Mukerji's (also the film's writer) attention to detail, his nuanced way of looking at GenNow life. The relationship of the lead pair is every inch 21st century urban; but it doesn't follow the route of liplocks and no-condom sex to become so.
The change in the tenor of relationship between the lead pair as well as the texture of their own changing selves is detailed with diligence, delineated with tenderness. We understand Sid's joy on making his first omelette. And we enjoy the moment when he rustles up the fastest birthday cake in the world: a lone matchstick burning atop four pieces of bread and jam.
Mukerji gets the bigger picture right too. There's a subtlety with which he repairs the relationship between Sid and his mother (Supriya Pathak). The distance between the two is born out of the different cultures the two belong to. She is uneducated, he is westernised and the twain don't meet. There's a tragic dimension to the Punjabi mother who speaks English, even though it is pretty awful, hoping that it will bring her Westernised son closer. It's tragic because we know it's so real.

Shama Sikander draped in White Satin
Shama Sikander is a popular model and has featured in various Punjabi music videos. She has also starred in one Punjabi and one Bollywood movie. Shama can be seen here in these photos showing her bare back and looking like an angel.
These pictures are from her recent photo shoot to promote her in Bollywood. It seems that her PR Company is working overtime. She has the looks, but does she have the talent to survive in the highly competitive movie industry?
We wish Shama Sikander loads of success.

Salman Khan will get married to Katrina Kaif
We were right all along. Salman and Katrina are a couple and when it comes to marriage, Salman Khan will settle on Katrina Kaif Period.
Salman, when asked in an interview to a channel whether Katrina Kaif is the one for him gave a prompt ‘yes’. The actor also indicated that he might walk the aisle sometime next year.
This is the first time ever that the actor has gone ahead and entertained any personal questions. This revelation is bound to put an end to all the media speculation about the actor’s stormy liaisons with various starlets. Previously, Sallu and Kat refused to publicly comment on the state of their affair. Katrina had even lashed out at the media for getting too nosy on one instance.
The two have come a long way since they first started. The relationship that was touted as a momentary one since Sallu had been more of a mentor to Kat all this while, has been through thick and thin. Kat has weathered Sallu`s reported naggings (physical manhandling, if true!) and yet remained a loyal girlfriend.
Though Salman’s never had that good boy reputation to boast of, it seems that the bad boy has realized that this time round he can’t afford to let go off his lady love. So do we hear some wedding bells ringing already? Nah… not so soon, because with Salman, one never knows!
