Do Meet Vicky: Donor of Positive Energy


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!   

Ek round mein 15 min jaata hai. Watchman hoon superman nahi.” ~ 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.
