The film entertains, without preaching sexual moralities or social service. Even the music blends beautifully with the story. The winner here is the script (Juhi Chaturvedi), penned with subtlety, oodles of non-slapstick humour, while sensitizing the cause at hand. Thankfully, this sperm hits bullseye....…..Read Full Review

What’s Good: The novelty and sensitive treatment of the subject; the comedy; the performances.
What’s Bad: The second half, which plays out like an ordinary love drama; the lack of tear jerking moments.
Verdict: Vicky Donor is an entertaining fare...…..Read Full Review

Whether it's to make a contribution to mankind with one's reproductive cells or marrying outside one's community, the running theme of Vicky Donor is acceptance, embracing things without making too much fuss, because that's what real people do. And because this is conveyed without the aid of an insistent monologue, cheap humour or calculated soppiness, it makes John Abraham's maiden production quite a pleasant viewing...…..Read Full Review

Large-hearted and generously endowed with moments that you take away with you from the film even as John Abraham comes on screen for an irrelevant song and dance item, the film is the surprise entertainer of the year. It is the warmest, funniest most sensible and sparkling comedy in a very long time. In Shoojit Sircar's vision every single actor shines with a glorious naturalness. Ayushmann is effortlessly the discovery of the year.......Read Full Review

Sircar’s film, a morality tale wrapped up as a fun bon-bon, delivers enough sparkles to make us overlook the sagging bits. And that’s got to do with the perky writing, which leads to fresh characters who speak as they ought to, in flavourful, authentic settings. But Vicky Donor’s delights outweigh the not-so-good stuff: give me a Bollywood hero who pulls off a pedicure without prurience, and I will tell you, go see this film. ......Read Full Review

No big star cast which will attract audiences to the theatre. However, natural and brilliant performances will surely speed up the word-of-mouth publicity process for the flick. It’s definitely a must watch if you genuinely crave for different, entertaining and paisa-vasool cinema. For all the John Abraham’s fans, who want to catch a glimpse of the actor, Vicky Donor would be an entertaining blow....…Read Full Review

The movie ends on a sentimental note, transforming Ayushmann from a young man with a devil-may-care attitude to someone who’s learned his lessons the hard way after discovering his own wife (Yami) isn’t capable of conceiving. Amazed to find out about the kind of happiness he’s bought into the lives of a number of families, Khurana gradually changes from Vicky Donor with fertile sperm to Vicky Donor with a sensitive heart…You have to see for yourself...…..Read Full Review

The story per say may not have healthy males rushing to donate sperm. But it does drive home a point. Shoojit Sircar takes you on a madcap ride with a solid dose of sanity thrown in. He does not just shoot in the dark, but has a blueprint in front of him as he begins VICKY DONOR. VICKY DONOR is not your typical Bollywood film. It is different. Daringly different....…….Read Full Review

Vicky Donor makes every minute count.In between all this there’s a whole lot of fun for the audience, thanks to Juhi Chaturvedi’s impeccably funny screenplay, that includes witty yet conversational dialogues and typical 'dilli' mannerisms that are smartly woven to guarantee a paisa vasool entertainment. Vicky Donor 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...…Read Full Review
