“Chi! Kitne leechad
ho aap” is the kind of initial feeling when somebody goes after sperms to
make a movie. But then! The idea will now make millions – Vicky Donor is
Bollywood’s best offering in 2012. The movie with the unconventional theme thus
has a sperm rating of 4/5. Go for
it.
Story –
Vicky (sadda Dilli vhich munda) is a lazy clumsy Talented fellow who is
underemployed as a beautician in his mother’s clinic. Talented because his
factory production defies the normal operative laws (factory being the body and
the output being sperms, both of high quality and density). We get all this
information from Dr. Chaddha (infertility specialist), who is doing a social
business of increasing population. The first half is brilliant – it generates a
lot of laughter from all the sperm-talk b/t Doctor and Vicky. Another source of
laughter is the conversations between Vicky’s mother and Vicky’s grandmother. First
half is light, enjoyable filled with great superb acting – ultimate. Story
takes a U-turn in second half and becomes fultu
senti. Vicky marries his pyaar Ashima
but then she can’t conceive. Laughs turn into tears but the transition is quite
unpractical for audience. Thankfully this pack of energy helped me during this
transition and kept me away for getting bored till The End.
Star Cast -
Anu Kapoor (plays Sperm Doctor) – The famous anchor of Sa Re Ga Ma
plays the role of Doctor Baldav Chaddha. You kind of just admire the sheer
talent and energy the genuine actor has to pull off just anything - A Punjabi
sperm selling doctor. Awesome performance.
Ayushmann Khurana (plays Sperm Donor) - “Thank You Shaktiman”. The
rejected Roadie gave a good performance. His dialogue delivery when speaking colloquially
is superb but is not impressive in senti scenes. He may give good competition
to Ranveer Singh.
Yami Gautam (plays Sperm Receptor) – Must say an impressive debut. “Ankhon mein teri ajab si ajab si adaain hain”
– comments from my companion (Liked)
A part from these, movie would
be incomplete without the Sperm-talkers (actors who played Vicky’s mother,
Vicky’s grandmother, Vicky’s neighbour, Vicky’s girl-next-door) - All of them
generated quality kich-kich.
Music is a big plus in the
movie. And also the stereotyping of Punjabi and Bong cultures. I was quite
impressed that both were made to gel quite nicely amidst a lot of fun
generation, considering I too almost have the same case with me. This trick
always works in India. Haina!
Vicky Donor is a movie
supported by strong tenets – unique story, great actors and good music. It
follows the old school approach to entertain you, where in the main stress is
on the story & characterization and not the technology, item numbers. It ends abruptly but sends out the message - “Babumoshai, Zindagi Badi honi chahiye, Lambi
nahin” (a cult dialogue from the cult movie Anand).
Answers to the most important
questions -
Should I go? Yes! obviously
Why? Quality Story, Good Actors, Nice Music (iske alawa kuch aur chahiye!!)
Then who will see this! – Wannabe sperm donors, guys seeking MBA
students who participate in every B-plan competition.
Kiske naam pe bikega – Sperms and Sperms (ye bhout hai vaise! Aap bhi jaante ho aur hum bhi)
Words of wisdom – Go with an energetic body and a cheerful mind, it
will surely enhance your production. Am I sounding like x guru!

watchman to Vicky (hope you too were on the same lines)
ps: Never thought a movie can find
its subject matter out of a paragraph in a ninth class biology book. P.S. Verma
page no. 98 - you deserved it.
