Vicky Donor
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...has a story which weaves in and out of a subject that is taboo, that too in an enjoyable and entertaining manner.
-
Witty, funny and also emotional, Vicky Donor is forward-thinking, progressive commercial cinema which vastly enlightens and hugely entertains!
-
Director Shoojit Sircar is back with a bold, first-of-its-kind concept that's taboo. He makes this sperm of an idea swim all the way. He intelligently uses comedy to break mindsets, without embarrassing moments or awkward lines. The film entertains, without preaching sexual moralities or social service.
-
...a huge entertainer in a small package.
-
It's finally here: a wholly original and fresh film that'll crack you up from start to finish.
-
...deserves a definite watch for its light-hearted take to a social subject of sperm donation and is highly entertaining.
-
...an amusing, sweet, moving, unconventional Bollywood comedy!
-
...is one of those rare Hindi films that work purely on the strength of writing and performances.
-
...a lighthearted fun film, which meets expectations.
-
The film has all the ingredients that makes for a prefect viewing – good story, witty dialogue, funky music and excellent acting.
-
The climax sags, but the rest of the film is seductive enough.
-
It is different. Daringly different.
-
...takes the closet issue, turns it on its head and spins a light-hearted tale around it, one that fertilises genuine fun at the movies.
-
The film that has so much going for it that includes a director (Shoojit Sircar, who made the sensitive Yahaan) with an evolved understanding of storytelling, lilting music, quirky script and characters ultimately goes askew in the end with its choice to play to the gallery.
-
...loses some of its sperm, er steam, in the second half when the sentimental, ethical reasoning creeps in, it feels a bit avoidable and protracted. Except by then you have begun to care too much for these characters and its unassuming vibe to create a ruckus.
-
A well-written film that handles a sensitive subject with respect.
-
...delights outweigh the not-so-good stuff...
-
...is one of those films that yet again affirm that you don’t need big stars with hefty remunerations nor do you have to cross the Atlantic to scour exotic locations.
-
...a quality comedy that entertains while punching gentle holes at India's hypocrisy and squeamishness about sex.
-
Shoojit Sircar's Vicky Donor comes as a pleasant surprise - he deals with taboos combining hilarity and heart.
-
It’s been so long since a movie elicited laughs without cringes. It is unapologetic, unadulterated fun.
-
...leaves you with majorly mixed feelings. It's amusing in parts but is largely contrived and occasionally prurient-'n'-crude.
-
...is one of those films that looks as if it’s going to shatter a hundred different on-screen taboos, but it’s actually as old-fashioned as they come.
-
This film has a sense of humour that cuts across class and cerebral levels.
