Vicky Donor

VICKY DONOR - firstly i liked the title very much and trailers also sounded good.the movie truly satisfied the trailers which normally don't occur in case of most of the bollywood movies.The trailers are made good but when we see the movie the only dialogue we say - what the f**k is this ? now about vicky donor - its a good comedy movie.lots of dialogues are in punjabi and are so hilarious.the punches are so good.AYUSMANN KHURANA gave a thrilling performance.didn't seem like his first movie and the actress YAMI GAUTAM was also fab.overall the movie is superb.

MUSTTTTTT WATCH GUYS..........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some trailers makes me want to go to the theaters the first day; some trailers, I don't want to watch even the trailer completely.

With VD, I was not sure. So I went anyways. Thank God I did. From the first scene to the last, it was worth it.

A great script dealing with masturbation indirectly yet without any vulgarity in words or scenes. It will easily pass off as a 'modern' family entertainer. It is not easy to bring out the film in such a great script and kudos to the director and editors for sending out a altogether new message and getting it out from the actors.

All the actors were spot on. But a special mention to the mom and her in-law, and their on screen chemistry. The leads have also done well, but Annu kapoor is the class act. Then final scene in which he breaks- down laughing, makes him in the list of my great actors in India.

No unnecessary songs,long shots, close-ups, drama etc,. it was all just about perfect. There were some pit falls on the acting in some scenes of Anshuman and Yaani, but come'on the made up for it later.

All together a great movie, coming in the times of Kahaani, Paan Singh Tomar etc,. only shows that this might be India's turn to its greatest star ever- The Script.

Rush and watch!!!

To people who would like to believe that this movie is vulgar, I would suggest, go along with your kids! It's a refreshing surprise from director Sircar, and is 2 hours 15 minutes of pure fun. Anu Kapoor stands out for his once in a lifetime portrayal of an infertility specialist. His props, clinic and the hand gesture (just loved it) are just amazing! I am forced to wonder why is he not more visible on screen! Ayushman is a complete natural as a punjabi boy. Not for one moment would you even feel this is his debut in bollywood. Yami Gautam is gorgeous and appears very soothing to the eye. The modern grandmother and mum have been excellently portrayed by the respective actors. This is perhaps first time in bollywood that you have a saas-bahu and daaru scene! Two characters that really stand out throughout the movie are undoubtedly Dr Chaddhha and the grandmother! A must watch for everyone

Very Recently I had an argument with a friend when i asked him that out of the two movies released this Friday which would be given preference bu him. He said and I'd quote that "(It's a)disgrace that people can actually watch this".

No offence but Vicky Donor would be like a slap on the face for such people. It is fresh, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable.

Starring Ayushmann Khurrana as the Punjabi munda Vicky who doesn't have a job of his own and is constantly nagged by his mother played by Dolly Alluwalia. His grandma, on the other hand as Vicky himself says pretty modern and very supportive. All's not well for him until Dr.Baldev Chadda played by Annu Kapoor finds out that Vicky can be an excellent sperm donor. Midway he falls in love with Ashima Roy(Yami Gautam) and the story carries on further.

The interesting part about Vicky Donor is that although the film preaches the topic of sperm donation at no point does the film uses vulgarity or cheap humour to carry it along.

The music is very catchy at the least and songs like 'Paani da' and 'Rum whisky' really help to keep up the tempo of the movie.

The screenplay by Juhi Chaturvedi is apt and even the 2 hr 15 min doesn't seem too long.

Yes the dialogues are a bit repetitive, the story a bit sluggish in parts but the good acting performances by the entire cast hide the negatives more or less. Annu Kapoor, Dolly and her mother-in-law impress in particular. Ayushmann has very good screen presence and Yami looks superb.

It's a definite thumbs up from my side for Shoojit Sircar's Vicky Donor. You should not give this a miss if possible.

3/5

The chief concerns of a 25 year old? Money, a job, a girlfriend and some respect from his family. Vicky Donor injects a new age career (if you may call it) of donating sperms in to the life of a happy, cricket loving, 25 but jobless Delhi boy Vicky (Ayushmann Khurrana). After Dr. Baldev Chaddha, (Annu Kapoor) an infertility specialist overtly chases Vicky for this covert job; he begins to enjoy the perks that come along with the job. However with great perks come great pains. Great perks – money, job, girlfriend (incidental to the job) and respect from his family. Great Pains – Not being able to tell his family and girlfriend about his career. So do the perks outweigh the pains? Or life is beyond such naive comparisons? For the answers, watch the movie!

While you are at it, you will be treated to some delightful real life characters, Kamlesh Gill as Vicky's alcohol-loving, forward-thinking grandma, Dolly Ahluwalia as Vicky's alcohol-loving, loud and dutiful mother, Annu Kapoor the singularly focused Dr. Baldev Chaddha, the beautiful Ashima Roy (Yami Gautam) and her oh-so Bengali family. The banter between Kamlesh Gill and Dolly Ahluwalia, Annu Kapoor's character who sees life through the lens of sperms will keep you chuckling through the movie. You will want to cheer the celebration of differences and the eventual mingling between the Punjabis and the Bengalis, brought to the fore in the wedding sequence.

Is this Ayushmaan's debut? Wow! Doesn't seem like that! He comes across as completely natural and never seems anything besides Vicky! He is absolutely lovable as the boy next door. Annu Kapoor is scintillating. He amuses you and makes you laugh. Kamlesh Gill and Dolly Ahluwalia are uncontainable. Debutant Yami Gautam looks delectable and performs well.

Juhi Chaturvedi's very believable story has a thoroughly enjoyable screenplay where witty one-liners are the order of the day. Kamaljit Negi's cinematography is good. Shekhar Prajapati's snips ensure the movie never slows down. Abhishek-Akshay's music carries the narration forward while Rum Whiskey will be a party smasher!

Director Shoojit Sircar after a hiatus of 7 years (Yahaan 2005) deftly blends in a topical story with some endearing characters and real life sequences to dish out a delightful slice of life film! Go watch it!

Watch for: A topical story. Light hearted entertainment. Watch out for: Performances and some superlative real life banter between the characters! Don't watch if: No-no. Go watch!
