Vicky Donor Review

Vicky Donor Review

Released on 20th April, 2012 Vicky Donor is a Bollywood comedy entertainer Directed by Soojit Sircar. Vicky donor is a family entertainer despite being a film revolving around "Sperm Donation". Entertainer because it is neither a crude sex comedy or a film sending some public service message. On the top of that there is no visual or verbal vulgarity in the film. The film mainly deals with the concept of "Sperm Donation" and "Infertility".





The film "Vicky Donor" revolves around Doctor "Baldev Chadda" (Anu kapoor), a well qualified fertility expert who runs a fertility clinic and a sperm bank in Daryaganj, Delhi. His clinic guarantees high quality and specialized sperms, but unfortunately he has more failures to his credit than successes. A healthy high performing donor is the need of that hour. While searching for such a donor, Dr. Chadda bumps into "Vicky Arora" (Ayushmann khurana). who is the only son of a widow and in deep financial crises. His mother runs a beauty parlor from home in Lajpat nagar, Delhi.

Dr. Chadda has to spend days and nights on convincing Vicky to become a donor until he gives in and agrees to donate sperms for the sake of earning some money. Soon he makes a fortune out of his potent attribute. He falls in love with a pretty Bengali girl "Ashima Roy" (Yami Gautam). who works in a bank. He marries the love of his life but things began to take a drastic turn when she comes to know about his covert contributions to sperm bank.





While the film lightly touches on theme of shortage of sperm donors and the social stigma attached to it. Vicky donor manages to refrain itself from being an issue based cinema. Both the actors Ayushmann Khurana and Yami gautam have done their jobs fabulously. Ayushmann has shown his acting prowess while Yami gautam's beauty reflects in her performance.

Overall the movie superb and a must watch. Deserves 4/5 ratings. Hope you like this Vicky Donor Review.

Movie Reviews - The pursuit of Happiness Review

The pursuit of happiness (2006) is inspired by the struggles and real life story of "Chris Gardener". It is a biographical drama film based on Chris Gardener's nearly 1 year struggle with homelessness. The movie Stars "Will Smith" who shined once again with an absolutely challenging role. The best part is that he has starred alongside his 8 year old son "Jaden Smith". He turns into raw heart-breaking performance as a man who struggles to give his child the quality life that he could not have due to his lack of education, stubborn naysayers attitude and homelessness to become a rags-to-riches phenomenon.

Directed by "Gabriel Muccino", the film shows "Will Smith" as "Chris Gardener" an on and off homeless salesman turned stock broker.



The Storyline

Gardener (Smith) is a salesman with ample supply of bone density scanners collected during an ill-conceived investment plans that has yet to pay off. His girlfriend, Linda (Thandie Newton), is fed-up with having to work double shifts while he strolls around the town with these strange devices only to return by night-fall with a skinny wallet. Together, they have a son (jaden), who spends a lot of time in day care watching TV re-runs.

When financial problems start to increase, Linda decides that its time to go and leaves Gardener along with the child "Jaden". After this Smith (gardener), meets a manager for "Dean Witter" (stock brokerage firm), while trying to sell one of his bone density scanners. He impresses him by solving "Rubik's Cube" in a short cab ride. This new relationship with Dean witter manager earns him a chance to become an intern stockbroker. It is hard to believe that she leaves her child in the hands of a man who she deems to be a loser and its yet harder to believe that Chris Gardener would appear for an interview with that paint smeared face and land into a internship at a prestigious brokerage firm. The story revolves around the struggles of Gardener (smith), who finally completes the internship with flying colors and is offered a job in the prestigious stock-brokerage firm, Fighting back the tears, he rushes to his Son's (Jaden), day care and hugs him tightly.

Review of Delhi belly/ Film Review

Delhi belly, released on July 1 2011 is an Indian comedy film Shot in English with a little Hindi. It is directed by Abhinay Deo, the son of veteran actors Ramesh and Seema deo. He is an Ad-film maker turned director and has shown a great piece of direction in the form of "Delhi belly". The Article contains Review of the film Delhi belly.



Delhi Belly - The Film review :-

Delhi Belly revolves around Three room-mates, Tashi Dorjee Lhatoo (Imran Khan), Nitin Berry (Kunaal Roy Kapur) and Arup (Vir Das) leading an unkempt and debt-ridden life. Delhi belly has been in news as it is full of adult language, catchy songs and unconventional sex shows. There are sparks of humour and vulger scences throughout the film and this is what makes it a worth watch. I bet that you will not face any boredom while watching this movie.

The film start’s with Sonia’s arrival into the city where she meets vladimir dragonsky and agrees to deliver a packet on behalf of him to the address mentioned by him. Sonia hands over the packet to Tashi who in turn asks Arup to deliver it for him. Arup then hands the packet to Nitin for delivery, But Nitin forgets to do so as he is experiencing ‘Delhi Belly’ ( stomach issues).

Thus the Package keeps floating around and is finally handed to the recipient, a gangster named Somayajulu by Arup. Apart from the package, Arup also has to deliver another package which contains Nitin’s stool sample to Nitin’s Doctor. He mixes up the two which makes Somayajulu furious and he starts the investigation by interrogating Vladimir. The film revolves around the chaos created by the interchanging of the packets.

In the meanwhile, Tashi gets attracted towards menaka, a journalist and has to incur the wrath of her ex-husband Rajiv. He starts comtemplating whether he really wants to marry sonia. Here, Vladimir informs Somayajulu that the mix-up must have been caused by Sonia as she didn’t know what she was carrying in the package. Somayajulu then calls sonia and tells her about the mix-up of the packets and also asks her to give the address of the person who was to deliver the packets. Somayajulu then goes to the address and finds Arup and makes him stand on the stool whilst his neck is tied with a tie to the ceiling. Tashi arrives at the apartment in the meanwhile to find Arup being tied to the ceiling. On interrogating Tashi, Somayajulu discovers the location of his package.





Nitin gets the packets from the doctor’s clinic and somayajulu snatches it from him to examine the 30 diamonds which are ought to be there in the packet. After finding them safe, he orders his men to kill all the three friends, Tashi, Arup and Nitin. In the meanwhile, the ceiling to which Arup is tied falls down and injures Somayajulu and his men. Tashi, Arup and nitin escape them along with the daimonds and celebrate there good fortune. They sell the daimonds to a local jewellery shop owner the very next day. But to their dismay and bad luck, Somayajulu kidnaps Sonia and threatens to kill her if they do not hand over the daimonds to him. The trio, feeling disgusted, goes to get the daimonds from the jewellery shop owner, only to be told that they will have to pay him double.

The trio starts worrying when tashi comes up with a plan. Nitin, Arup, Tashi and Menaka disguise themselves in burqa and go to the jewellery shop. They con the owner, take back their daimonds and return his money. Then they go to the hotel where somayajulu has held Sonia. In the meanwhile police also reach there following tashi’s car as they chase him for robbing the jewellery store. The trio hands over the daimonds to Somayajulu and tell him to leave sonia. Police enters the room by then and firing takes place in which only Tashi, Nitin, Arup and sonia survive. Tashi then chooses Menaka over Sonia but Menaka refuses to go with him. Later, When Menaka comes over to Tashi’s place to hand over his belongings, Tashi jumps over her car in through the open Window and Kisses her hard.
