Here's everything you may have missed while watching "Wake Up Sid".

In the very first shot of the movie, we can see a copy of the "Mumbai Beat" magazine on Sid's desk.

In the final exam that Sid takes, you can see that he has played a weird crossword of sorts with the names of Harry Potter characters on his question paper.

For reasons I do not understand, Sid can be seen buying 2 copies of the same game. Maybe it's intentional to show us he's that rich!

Here's one thing that I absolutely loved discovering. Sid has an ex! In one of the scenes, we get a glimpse of Sid's inbox. Most of them are random messages but you can spot a pattern in msgs sent by someone named "Panchami Ghavri"

Messages include " I'm over you" and "I want you back" so clearly there were things left unresolved. Panchami was an AD on the film and this was probably just to make the inbox more realistic but imagine the possibilities this has opened for a possible sequel.

Another thing that I noticed, the sign that we see in Aisha's apartment can also be seen outside Bunny's apartment in "Ye Jawani Hai Deewani", Ayan Mukerji's second film. We need a Ayan Mukerji Cinematic Universe asap.

Speaking of things found in Aisha's apartment, this Madhubala photograph that she picks up while shopping for her house does end up adorning her wall and we can see it at multiple points during the film.

One of the walls in Aisha's apartment also has the following lines from the famous song "Aaj Jaane Ki Zid Na Karo".

Waqt ki qaid mein zindagi hai magar
Chand ghadiyan yahi hai jo azaad hai

Here are all the "New Girl In The City" drafts/articles that Aisha writes before getting published.

Btw in case, someone was wondering, Aisha's salary is Rs. 28,000. I am not sure how good or bad this was in 2008 but remember that Aisha had no experience and moved to a new city without a job in hand.

Another thing that I love about the movie is the attention to detail. In a scene, we see this pin-up board where they are planning the next issue. When they finally reveal the published magazine towards the end of the movie, it's fairly consistent with this.

In the song "Wake Up Sid remix", Sid's iPod mentions Amit Trivedi and the multiple background pieces that play throughout the movie. If only we could get hold of this iPod. Till then, we have this:

The subtitles of the movie are done by Sonam Nair aka @chink_ster

As my friend @fxdurandy says #loveyoursubtitler #nameyoursubtitler

And finally, a major point of the film is Sid discovering his passion for photography. The photographs attributed to Sid in the movie were actually clicked by @PabloVikasso. I reached out to him last week to confirm and he was super nice about it! Give him a follow.
