This is the story of Sidharth Mehra (Ranbir Kapoor), a lazy, unmotivated slacker
from Mumbai whose life undergoes a series of changes after taking his final year
college exams. Sid’s world is breezy, carefree, and without any true
responsibilities. The most important elements in his life are his friends, his
camera, his car, and his X-box 360. Sid thrives around his two best friends,
Rishi (Namit Das) and Laxmi (Shikha Talsania), very rarely communicates with his
mother Sarita (Supriya Pathak) and takes his father Ram Mehra (Anupam Kher), and
all his hard earned wealth for granted. Despite all these traits, Sid is an
honest boy; sweet, funny, and above all, a good friend. Aisha Bannerjee (Konkona
Sen Sharma), an aspiring writer from Calcutta, learns this soon enough when her
path crosses with Sid’s on her first day in Mumbai. Ambitious, well-read, and
driven, Aisha has come to Bombay to realize her dreams as a writer. Despite
their contrasting personalities, Sid becomes Aisha’s first friend in the city.
As Aisha sets up her life in Bombay, with the help of Sid and his gang, Sid
allows for time to fly by over long drives, parties that stretch well into dawn,
and endless hours doing absolutely nothing. But summers vary rarely dull these
days and Sid’s summer is no different. A series of circumstances and events
compel him to take stock of his life and take a hard look at himself. Will he,
at some point figure out what he’s supposed to be doing with his life? Wake up
Sid!
