Vicky Donor (2012) Movie Review


Director - Shoojit Sircar
Writer - Juhi Chaturvedi
Running Time - 2 hours 5 Minutes
Cast - Ayushmann Khurana, Annu Kapoor, Yami Gautam
Release Date - 20 April














Vicky Arora (Ayushmann) is a unemployed Punjabi boy from Lajpat Nagar, is the only son of Dolly, a widow, who runs a small beauty parlor from home. Then through a small incident Dr. Baldev Chaddha (Annu Kapoor) who runs a fertility clinic and a sperm bank that guarantees the quality sperm, notices him. After being approached by Dr. Chaddha for many times finally Vicky agrees to donate his sperm for money. By this way Vicky gets money for managing his good lifestyle and to shut the mouth of his mother, without telling them about this. Then a girl Ashima Roy (played by Yami Gautam) comes into his life. After this the story follows how the situation occurs drastically when she knows about his profession.



In this all of sequences movie never lets viewer to let down or bore just for a second, thanks to the amazing well- crafted story and witty dialogue which are not new but here is the different situation called 'sperms' which turns them into great laughable moments for us. 


After the intermission the story seems a little inclined to the cause, but the Director Shoojit Sircar never lets the fun- factor of the movie down against to issue. Director and Writer Juhi Chaturvedi impressively do what they wanted to, not to focus much and not to deter much from the cause so that it becomes a social movie or a madcap entertainer.


It is the second Hindi Movie that uses 'sperm donation' cause as story. The first one was from one of the four stories of movie 'I Am' last year. Its a very good sign from the Producer of the movie John Abraham that he choose a very different central idea for his first movie as a producer. 


Ayushmann does a decent job as the sperm donor in his first movie. Yami Gautam looks beautiful and plays her role very well. The best things about the movie was the characters of Dr. Chaddha and the grand-mother of Vicky. Annu Kapoor does a great job, he has a great comic timing like he did in his last movie '7 khoon maaf' and fulfills what he promises in trailers.


"Vicky Donor" is a fantastic comedy film featuring an unforgettable performance from Annu Kapoor. You will love this movie for sure.

My Rating - 8/10
