Why it's in the canon
The most affectionate portrait of Bombay in modern Hindi film, and Ranbir's most likeable work.
A rich Mumbai slacker fails his exams, leaves home, and slowly learns to be useful to one person.
Wake Up Sid sits in the 2000s alongside Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai — a decade this canon treats as formative.
