Sperm se thora upar aake dekho, heart naam ki cheez hoti hai.. what about love ?
Vicky Arora (Ayushmann Khurana), punjabi guy, is a bachelor, and jobless. He happens to meet Dr.Chaddha (Annu Kapoor) who wants help from him as he is in need of a sperm donor. After denying continuously, Vicky finally gives in citing the good money he would get for it, with a deal that it should always remain confidential. Vicky falls in love with a bengali girl, Ashima (Yami Gautam) and decides to marry her. But, what would happen when she comes to know the real profession of Vicky.. and would she accept him then ?
The screenplay is v.good, the first half totally hillarious. The second half do gets bit serious, but with decent dose of funny sequences. Another thing that I liked was, the message through the film without preaching it.
Excellent writing, the dialogues are connectable and very real, like the constant use of 'fuddu' and many other punjabi words.
The punjabi-bengali culture sequence, ashima's dad asking no drinks in marriage cut to expressions of Vicky's mom and grandmother cut to they dancing in marriage drinking, and every Vicky-Chaddha sequence were best moments from the film.
The songs are very well picturised especially pani da rang.. one of my most favs in the film and 'Rum Whisky' is hillariously used.
Ayushmann Khurana acted brilliantly, in this being debut film. Love the mischievous expression he has in many scenes. And he sings well too, pani da rang is one of best songs to have come out this year, also composed by him too. It would be interesting to see him in a non-punjabi role next, to test his acting skills.
How well Annu Kapoor gets into a new character, the dialect he catches up.. can't believe why the directors don't give him more opportunities. Easily among his best performances till date.
Yami Gautam acted well, looks good... but don't think the role was much challenging to tell much about her scope in hindi films. One scene she did mess up badly or maybe director handled her poorly was, where she shouts so loudly at Vicky when he reveals the truth.
Dolly Ahluwalia was amazing, even in her angry scenes she would make you laugh. Superb performer, and that imitation she does 'bandar jaise naachiyo type', too hillarious. Also, all those drink sequences.
Kamlesh Gill was superb, a supporter of Vicky, modern grandmother for him unlike his mom who takes time to understand. Love that scene where for first time, Kamlesh has to keep quiet and not support Vicky. Excellent acting!
Jayant Das was good as Ashima's father, the role looked perfectly suited for him.
Overall, Vicky Donor is a awesome film. Well written and great performances. Its a must watch!
Verdict : VERY GOOD
