Well, yes to many people in our desi audience these lines might not convey what they are meant to as apparently sperm donation is a novel thing here and though it has been existing since ages even in India no body talks about it for sure. But this brilliant and intelligent script has presented the whole concept in a way that is a sure sell out and entertaining in the purest sense. Juhi Chaturvedi's story is top notch and Shoojit Sircar's direction makes it even better.
So, Vicky is a typical punjabi munda from Delhi. Stud-types, handsome, charming, sportsman, well-built & what not. Oh yes, one thing, he is not employed. This healthy and highly potent fish is grabbed by a mediocre fertility doctor(Anu Kapoor) who is struggling to keep his fertility clinic alive amidst the scarcity of good swimmers in Delhi. The doc after a background check on Vicky, finds out that apparently he has unusually high fertility like a pure cross-breed of the Aryans and Alexander the great.He then tries to convince Vicky to make good use of his tadpoles. What follows is a hilarious depiction of changing attitudes, his bong love affair, the superb chemistry between his mother and grandma and the outstanding performance of Anu Kapoor. Take a bow, ladies and gentlemen. For Anu Kapoor. Perhaps he has always been the underdog and the most unsung for sure. But this role will give him the applause that he sincerely deserves. His punjabi accent and mannerism is spermtastic!
Another great thing about Vicky Donor is the array of superb performances. Be it our punjabi Munda Ayushman Khurana, or Dolly Ahluwalia as his mother. The modern grandma who drinks scotch like a fish is too good to be true and produces zillion lol moments with her witty one liners. Vicky's Bengali love affair and the whole Punjab vs Bengal debate is presented beautifully. The film moves on so effortlessly that you fall in love with all the characters which eventually helps to cope up with the slow pace of the movie towards the end. You do not get bored as you get connected very well in the opening half. The songs Rum & Whisky and Pani da rang are superb and complement the movie well. The end is kinda predictable but the first part is so impressive that you cannot simply afford to leave before the titles. So, Vicky donor is one of those experiments which play with newer subjects using the not so famous cast. But a very successful experiment for sure. Worthy of 4 sperms! Oh, I mean 4 stars.Go and have a blast with the sperms ! Not literally though.

Oh boy!! So you had fun watching it. Hope you did not splash it all over the screen :-)
As I said it is certainly worth a watch ..My take on it is 6.5/10.
dude... who the hell has a range like that to splash the screen.. even from the front seats ... it's not like Agni V :P
Now this is what I call an awesome movie. I went to the theater with very low expectation and came out with an impression of "Under promised and over delivered". Movie has an amazing pace along with a new concept and refreshing faces. Annu Kapoor was absolutely mind blowing as Balvinder Chadda. His punch lines added flavor to the movie. Yami was very natural and so was Ayushman. Every character was played so well. Sircar's direction was well known for Parineeta which was so serious movie adapted from a novel by Sarat Chandra but I never imagined that he can direct such humorous scripts as well. I am impressed. A must watch for all.
Right you are, Anjali Sharma :)
@Anjali: A small correction...It's not the Sircar who made Parineeta, which was by Pradeep Sircar(the veteran ad film maker turned film director).
Well Shoojit sircar was also known for serious movies like Yahaan(* ing Jimmy shergil, Minisha Lamba with a backdrop of Kashmir).. It's certainly a pleasant surprise for having made such a humorous film..
