When Dr. Chaddha (Annu Kapoor) says "Poora world hi sperm hai!", you start laughing and atthe same time something rings a bell. Not that the whole world is male dominant but the factthat there are different ways to think about life.
Directed by Shoojit Sircar, Vicky Donor is a kickass entertainer. Everything was right about themovie, the pre-release marketing, the reviews, the music, the comedy, the acting and most ofall, the message. Well if you ask me what message it conveys, it definitely is not about throwinglight into sperm donation. Although it shows you that sperm donation brings you hell lot ofmoney and also it lures into thinking during the interval that "Lets jump into this business",it does end saying that it brings happiness to many. But that is not it. The main motive of thestory is to show how people react to a profession like that. You see parents reacting differentlyand strangers totally differently.
It has loads of comedy, witty dialogues and interesting characterizations. Annu Kapoor proved that he was a legend and with his comeback in Vicky Donor, he shows why he still should begiven more roles. He pays a tribute to what the Cine and TV industry had given him all theseyears. His body language, his dialogue delivery, his Punjabi accent make him the true hero ofthe movie.
Ayushman Khurana who was seen many times in many shows and functions takes the lead andhe does show that he's had lots of experience. He has a great future. His acting speaks for itself.
Yami Gautam is hot! She plays a bong chick and just the word bong is enough. She makes youlong for a girlfriend like her. One of my friends came out of the movie and said "Yaar, mujhe aisigirlfriend chaiye yaar.." and I was like "Mil jaegi!". I do not seem to make you laugh with theprevious sentence. It is just to show how much of an impact the female lead has on the viewer.
Dolly Ahluwalia and Kamlesh Gill as the male lead's mom and super young grandmomrespectively, play their parts so well that you forget you are seeing them for the first time. Also,the guy who plays the female lead's dad plays a perfect Bengali male and his character is soinspiring that you start thinking deep. Can anyone be so pragmatic?
Vicky Donor is all set to let the box office cash registers ringing, at least for a while. It is a greatinvestment indeed by John Abraham. He is sure to make loads and loads of money through hisdonation (money).
Interesting to see that technology from apple has let people take photos from the front viewcamera. (Now, when did you last ever see that?)
Music and background score weave their magic on all frames with "Pani da.." composed andsung by Ayushman being the pick of the lot. You will definitely start humming the tune once themovie ends.
Such a movie stands apart and stands tall and it shuts those people who bad mouthed aboutBollywood when silly and illogical high budget movies failed to entertain. Talent is still prevalentin Bollywood. It is only that low budget movies are the ones to watch out for.
It makes you laugh like crazy, it makes you cry and it makes you realise what the meaning of lifeis. For me, that is enough. Vicky Donor is a phenomenon which sprouts up hopes on the future
of Bollywood.
