Ok so, I'm gonna break this down real quick:


First scene? Sid's bedroom is a DISASTER zone and he's stuck in study hell. Like, this boy is staring at MCQs looking like he'd rather eat his textbook than read it. He's going through all the study moods; eye rolls, random humming, desperately searching for snacks, while saying stuff like "Yeh toh mera sawal apse hai" with that overdramatic flair my friends would totally call me out for.


Then we get scene two where the joke mask slips off. Sid's rocking in his chair like a madman, surrounded by a graveyard of Post-it notes, reading the same paragraph for the millionth time. When he whispers "Kabhi kabar mein kaafi lonely ho jata hoon," it hits different. That's the real tea, behind the jokes is just another confused teen drowning in expectations.


The third scene is where things get interesting! Sid literally SLAMS his book shut (so satisfying), dives onto his bed, and whips out his camera like it's the love of his life. Suddenly this half-dead zombie transforms into someone with actual passion, setting up these mini LEGO car photoshoots with more enthusiasm than I've ever had for chemistry class.


Next up, Sid goes full ninja mode to raid the kitchen for midnight snacks. But instead of finishing that essay due tomorrow, this boy straight-up dives into car design blogs on his laptop like there's no tomorrow. His priorities are sending me, snacks first, cool cars second, school work? I don't know her.


The last scene honestly hits in the feels. Sid's outside under this perfect sky, sketching away with this weird peaceful vibe we haven't seen before. And it leaves you thinking, maybe Sid isn't the one who's lost. Maybe it's the whole education system that's missing something huge about kids like him.


The point? This whole film is basically calling out how school systems totally miss the mark with creative kids. Like, hello? Not everyone's brain works the same way! Some of us would rather design cars or take artsy photos than memorize formulas, and that doesn't make us failures, it just makes us different.
