Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

braddugg An easily entertaining film that does not demand much from us and leaves us with something to think about. The premise is set when the statement "Many would have enjoyed parenthood if sperm donors were available" sets the tone of the movie right upfront and it carries it all through. Shoojit Sircar the director must be applauded for taking a subject that has not been dealt before in our Hindi Cinema and producers like John Abraham should be appreciated for helping the idea become a film.All through the film, the one thing that is so very good is the chemistry between the actors. Especially the camaraderie or chemistry of Dr.Baldev Chaddha (played superbly by Annu Kapoor) and protagonist Vicky Arora (played competently by Ayushmann Khurana) is the one that stands out and stands tall. Annu Kapoor slips into the role so fluidly that Chaddha seems so very obsessed with sperm that we forget that Annu as him, and consider him only as the doctor. When such a novel subject is being filmed and if the subject is a kind of taboo considering that it involves the subject of sex, then there will be a lot of temptation to over hype this. But Shoojit holds it back very well and indeed underplays it with the other digressing points like relationship between Vicky and his grandmother or bringing in a newcomer and beautiful Yamini Gautam as Ashima Roy and builds a beautiful love story. The idea though seem to slip off, it keeps coming back in the form of Chaddha and he fixates himself in Sperm stubbornly. Laughter, fun is derived from many moments of the film and that's the main reason watching this film is effortless and entertaining. Also appreciable is the dialog which does not make us watch it seriously but mostly with a smile on our face. The song "Paani Da Rang" which is a wonderful number is used well too. All in all, Shoojit Sircar is a director who made his mark with this film and I hope his endeavors will get bigger and better as he rolls the camera in the future.Happy to have seen this, late though but better late than never to watch a good film. I am going with 3/5 for this. Two points down coz this does not have the repeat value as such. Maybe coz dialogs are too easy to memorize.

silvan-desouza When I saw the poster of the film I was shocked and thought that this will be a total farce and then I saw the theatrical trailer and thought it will be a good fun and yes it is a completely hatke film with a concept very novel to Indian audiences.The film not only has a novel concept but the treatment is entirely brilliant, this doesn't fall into the genre of the dumb romcoms we are used to seeing, The first half is superb, the entire Punjabi family is a treat, Ayushman's characterization is very superb and non filmy, The twist in the tale is well handled and there are several hilarious scenes. The interval point is a nice shocker and then the Punjabi meets Bengali conversations are superb too The film does get predictable but it's superbly handled and few flaws are forgiven. The climax is unique and superb tooDirection by Shoojit Sircar is superb Music is a big hit already, RUM WHISKY is superb while Pani Da(composed by Ayushman and sung by him too) is superb too Dialogues bring the house downAyushman Khurana earlier seen as MTV VEEJAY and also acted in the spoof of CDI on MTV, and hosted several shows does a great job as Vicky His natural Punjabi slang is a treat and he is flawless for his first film, A huge surprise Yami Gautam often seen in fair and lovely ads on small screen does a great job and looks beautiful Annu Kapoor is matchless in his role, the talented actor makes you laugh till it hurts. Dolly Ahluwalia is a treat, Kamlesh Gill as Vicky's biji is supremely talented Jayant Das as Ashima's father is superb too rest are goodBefore I end the review, One must acknowledge the contribution of John Abraham who decided to produce such an offbeat low cast film

andaman21 What a great movie it was !! Such a refreshing experience.. the movie revolves around the idea of sperm-donation,a topic which deserves more attention.The excellency with which the topic & the happiness it brings along with to infertile parents is commendable. Ayushman's acting was very very natural.He was the perfect match for this role.Also,the portrayal of modern punjabi mom & grand-mom are very funny.Much accolades go to Annu Kapoor's acting of Dr.Chaddha.He surely deserves an Oscar.I hope this once-in-a-blue-moon movie brings a change in the mentality of people who think that sperm-donation is a cheap business..just watch this movie..this is bound to hit straight to the topic it addresses,and it does so so beautifully , without any vulgarity. A must watch for everyone !!! i just hope more and more outstanding movies like Vicky Donor are made in Bollywood :D

ghosh-aninda well to be very honest i didn't expect much from this movie.........but after i saw it.....it was completely overwhelming............awesome job done by the director(shoojit sircar) and also the actors(ayushman and yami)....and also not 2 forget annu kapoor...the director quiet technically described the whole concept of sperm donation without involving in any adulterous content.The highlights of the movie was the chemistry between ayushman and yami (without ever saying those famous bollywood lines-I Love u),the cross culture marriage,the melodramatic ending which was quite unexpected.Thanks to John Abraham also for producing such a fine movie with a new concept.Hope he does some more good films like this.And the actors seemed like veterans...superb acting by both the newcomers(in movies) considering the fact that both yami and ayushman had some earlier TV experience.Yami is going to definitely give the top bollywood actresses a run for their money if she keeps performing like this.I recommend this movie to everyone....a must watch.my rating 9/10
