Vicky Donor. This movie marked the debut of Ayushmann Khurrana and Yami Gautam. John Abraham as a producer. Chaddha genuinely sees Vicky as a walking-talking, revenue generating sperm bank, and after each encounter with the young man muses to himself "Confused sperm! It is excellent that Annu Kapoor has returned to Hindi cinema after a long self-imposed exile. He was a hoot in last year's "7 Khoon Maaf", and pulls off a funny yet heart-warming turn in this film.
When Vicky and Ashima decide to make a life together, it brings into hilarious play a Punjabi-Bengali culture clash. In the initial meetings, each side has catty put downs of the other, yet when all is said and done, they are so large-hearted and accepting that they promptly settle into an amiable harmony, complete with affectionate leg-pulling.
The wedding with mix-and-match Punjabi and Bengali rituals and customs is an inspired piece of business: the Punjabis are spooked by a posse of loudly ululating Bengali matrons, but only for an instant. They give the well-behaved ladies an impromptu Bhangra lesson and have them all balle-balle-ing with new-found abandon.
Vicky's grandma and mom get Ashima's teetotal dad drunk, but the real intoxication is from pure joy. Alas, the truth will and does out, and Ashima goes ballistic when she discovers Vicky's donor past. Will they be able to settle differences and overcome what Ashima perceives as a colossal breach of trust? I am going to stay mum on this - for you really should find out for yourselves. I'm impressed that John Abraham had the acumen to spot the potential in this unconventional project and made it his first producing effort.
Kudos to Juhi Chaturvedi who penned a highly original story, screenplay and dialogue, and got the flavours and nuances of Punjabi-centric Delhi and Anglophile Calcutta just right. Shoojit Sircar directs with a light, but ever observant touch, and makes his large cast people you care about. Ayushmaan Khurana doesn't possess movie-star looks but his delightful, ingratiating personality and confidence should compensate abundantly.
Yami Gautam is a classic Indian beauty and manages to takes one's breath away in simple every-day clothing - I can't wait to see the results when Manish Malhotra gets his designing hands on her in the Yash Raj extravaganzas that are bound to follow - and she's a good actress, to boot.
This intelligent, generous, warm-hearted take on sperm donation does indeed, as its tagline naughtily promises, make every drop count! A month ago when I first saw the trailer of Vicky Donor, I was outright shocked - had the limit of vulgarity been crossed that Bollywood was now making movies on sperm donors!!
Finally when I decided to see it post hearing some rave reviews I had difficulty telling my folks that I am going for a film like Vicky Donor - obviously a crude Punjabi sex comedy. Except I couldn't have been more wrong and pleasantly surprised by what might just not be the best film this year but a landmark film in general. Just about everything in the film was not just good it was damn perfect.
So, as the story goes Vicky Arora Anshuman Khurana is your average Punjabi Delhi boy a character type way too visible in almost every next film these days His paths cross with a desperate Dr. Chaddha Annu Kapoor — a fertility specialist who is obsessed with good quality sperm. Chaddha's clinic is under threat as most of the sperms in his sperm bank are not up to the mark and can't deliver the "goods". The first half of the film is primarily driven by Dr. Chaddha trying to convince Vicky to become a paid donor as his sperms result showcase him as having the highest fertility and motility rates.
There are also other interesting characters like Vicky's mother Dolly who runs a beauty parlour and Ashima's English speaking stereotypical "bong" father. It is unsaid there are three things that work flawlessly for the film — the first is the screen writing. From the story to the dialogues to the way this difficult topic is laid out — it is an almost perfect script.
Without her writing this would never have been the film it turns out. It would have been tempting to convert this story into a long series of sex jokes what with the central topic being sperm. As a matter of fact, in the hands of commercialized Bolllywood it would have become just that one can imagine a Sajid khan overfilling it with sex jokes and laughing himself the loudest Except that the screenplay just does not allow that.
There is hardly a joke in the film which would qualify as toiler humor — a masterstroke as it not only makes the story credible but also allows it to have a smart social message.
The credit goes to the dialogues and situations. From the Bengali — North Indian wedding which was so apt since I myself underwent one recently to the second half where the protagonists face a personal challenge - the script is plain brilliant!! The second point which stands out and practically runs Vicky donor are the performances. Annu Kapoor has always been an exceptional actor from his Tezaab days but in Vicky Donor he is touching a new high. You know he hits home when one ends up understanding his frustration of trying to explain to people that sperm donation is not a dirty profession but the need of the hour almost like a social service.
The other standout performance is of Anshuman Khurana as Vicky. The cheesy oneliners he uses to woo Ashima would have been PJs in the hands of any other actor but Anshuman delivers them with the perfect tilt of head. Not to mention his well handled moments of poignancy in the second half of the film. One actually looks forward to their scenes in the films.
This hilarious and continuous check on reality makes this film a pleasure to watch. The third point that stands out is the editing - at exactly 2 hours, Vicky Donor makes for an enjoyable minutes, no time is wasted on anything which does not add value to the script.
Even a romantic evening out for the couple ends in a revelation which is that check of reality the film keeps subtlety bringing about. The slice of life comedy with an emotional social message genre has seen the Munnabhai movies and 3 idiots as the best entries so far. Vicky Donor is a wonderful addition to this genre and makes it all the more relevant and believable.
Overall, I would recommend this film to anyone who likes to watch entertaining cinema and yet not leave their brains at home. So do go out watch this film and don't forget to tell your parents that you are going for Vicky Donor — a comedy about sperm donation.
Cunning, smart, fast-paced. Those are just some words to describe Vicky Arora and also I'd use the same words to describe this movie.
If you like comedies with an actual script and not just over-done slapstick humor Like the horrible Housefull 2 , Vicky Donor is for you. Don't blink an eye because the language is so fast that you may actually miss a clever line. Vicky Arora is an unemployed Punjabi Delhi boy who is tired of seeking a job and also tired of his nagging mother. On the other hand, Dr. Chadda, a man who sees everyone as a sperm, owns a clinic where he runs a "business" of sperm donation.
However, he just cannot find the right sperm donor with the required qualities. One day he finds Vicky and sees potential in him. After refusing a few times, Vicky finally accepts Chadda's offer once he sees the money coming in.
All goes smoothly until Vicky falls in love and gets married. One situation leads to another and Vicky's secret that he's a sperm donor gets out. What happens next, is what Vicky Donor is about. Vicky Donor does not try to be a classic or even a film with a message. It tells a simple story in an extraordinary way.
That is what works for the movie. Plus, the characters are all so straight out of life. They're normal people living an ordinary life in Delhi. There a a number of sequences that one ends up loving. The intro of Annu Kapoor in the opening scene is excellent. The whole first half is actually super-entertaining. The scenes when Annu Kapoor tries to convince Vicky to donate keeps you glued. Not to forget the scenes between Vicky's mother and grand-mother - just brilliant.
Special mention - Delhi is also a character in the movie. Looks beautiful, I may be biased here since I'm from there. However, my favorite sequences are in the middle when Vicky and Ashima try to convince the culturally diverse parents to let them get married. The two cultures stereotyping each other is hilarious and put a smile on your face. The film has its share of flaws. The fast pace slows down significantly in the latter portions.
Also, since the film is set in Delhi, there is a lot of Punjabi spoken in the movie. More than usual. So if you don't know the language, some jokes and words will be hard to get. However, those are very minor blemishes. The writing is intelligent. Dialogue is witty, funny and suits. The screenplay is fresh! Music is a pleasant surprise. Rum Whiskey catches you. Pani da rang is soothing. Peppy and fresh! Shoojit Sarcar is a director to look out for. He's given a brilliant screenplay and does full justice to it.
I also want to thank John Abraham for producing this movie and not being the lead hero. He could have easily starred in this one and probably messed it up just as easy. Ayushmann Khurana is a natural talent. He looks the role, suits the role and does a perfect job. Hard to believe it's his first feature film. Yami Gautam has that X factor in her. It shows. She's gorgeous as well. Dolly Ahluwalia and Kamlesh Gill have great chemistry as Vicky's mother and grandmother.
They're just so natural. Rest of the cast supports well. Vicky Donor would not be the same without Dr. Baldev Chadda, played so brilliantly by Annu Kapoor. Annu Kapoor is out of this world here. It's his best performance, in my opinion. When he's not on screen, one actually misses the crazy Punjabi Dr.
Overall - A feel-good film with a sweet message. Watch it for the comedy. For Delhi flavor. For a socially conscious message. A simple love story, with a strong social message.
Brilliant acting by Anshuman, and Anu Kapoor. And every other actor is so well cast. The old lady Veer'ji? One oddity: While the punjabis in the movie were shown in full flavor, I felt the Bongs were shown slightly bland but we all know Bongs are anything but bland.
And ironically the director himself is a Bong. Paani da song is a simple, yet very effective song. Great song to be sung and composed by the actor himself. I am pretty positive the actors were from the region. Smart dialogues, hilarious situations, and finally a powerful social message to cap it off.
So glad, movies on such off-topic are being made, and very clear from IMDb review board that its being appreciated so well. Haven't met a single person who didn't enjoy this movie. The film revolves Vicky Arora Ayushmann Khurrana , who lives with his mom and grandmother, above their saloon.
