Vicky Donor

Have any of you watched Vicky Donor yet? If not then I will recommend that do watch it. I will tell you why!

Having watched countless slapstick comedies, this one, despite dealing with a quirky subject, managed to get its humour right. Apart from that, well defined characters, supremely funny dialogues and an interesting premise make Vicky Donor worth the money. Each and every character has something unique to offer- be it Ashima(Vicky's love interest), Biji (Vicky's modern grandma), his mother Dolly, Dr. Chaddha, Chaman (Dr. Chaddha's assistant) or even Vicky's next door neighbour.The dialogues spoken by each character bring authenticity to the backdrop and situation of the movie. There are many scenes in the movie which bring laugh out loud moments e.g.  when Dr. Chaddha, the fertility doctor, chases Vicky at his home to donate his sperm, Vicky said to him,"Yaar aap bahut hi LAHSUN type ke aadmi ho!!!" or the scene where Vicky gifts his grandma a 16 GB IPhone, she said,"Mainnu to latest 32 GB wala chahiya tha". Also the romantic angle between Vicky and Ashima is fresh and enjoyable and their marriage scene, mixture of Punjabi and Bengali wedding, produces enough funny moments without being stereotypical.

STORY:
The story is about a guy, Vicky Arora, from Lajpat Nagar who lives with his mother Dolly and grandma Biji. Vicky is a typical Punju (Punjabi) who plays cricket, loves shopping and most importantly unemployed. On the other hand, Dr. Chaddha runs a fertility clinic and is in search of a fertile sperm donor. He coincidently found Vicky in his neighbourhood and from there on he chases Vicky to be the sperm donor for his clinic. After much nay say, finally Vicky agreed to donate his sperm which brings to him the money and comfort. At the same time he met the banker Ashima, a Bengali and a divorcee,  and gradually wins her over by his over the top punjabi acts. They both get married and things get settled for some time till Ashima finds out that Vicky is a sperm donor. She gets offended by his lie and leaves Vicky. In the end he gets Ashima back with the help of Dr. Chaddha.

ACTING:
All the actors have played their part with ease and have looked natural and effortless. Ayushman, the Roadies fame VJ, got the perfect debut and he cashed it brilliantly. Yami Gautam is beautiful and quite natural in acting. Annu Kapoor is a delight to watch in this movie as Dr. Chaddha. Dolly Ahluwalia and Kamlesh Gill both had some amazing scenes and dialogues and they both did full justice to them.

MUSIC:
Overall music is good. Out of all the songs, two tracks are worth mentioning, One is Paani da Rang...and the other one is Marjaiyaan.

Band Baaja Baraat

Hello folks, almost a month long gap this time. The truth is I did not find anything interesting to write or you might say that things were boring and nothing was exciting me...
But the just concluded weekend has prompted me again to write something. On the last Friday I boarded my first ever flight from Delhi to Chennai. I was very excited before the flight for the simple reason that it was my first ever air journey and above all, I was going for my first southern state trip. Occasion was the marriage of one of the most genuine person I know, Mr. Sankalp Chabra. His marriage in itself was no routine affair as it was not the typical arrange marriage stuff that we are so used to. His story is more like the Chetan Bhagat novel "Two states" where a Punjabi boy fall for the Madrasi girl and things become complicated because of the cross cultural divide and family differences. In spite of all the odds these two managed to be together and eventually convinced their respective families to give them their blessings.

My two days stay in Chennai was pretty eventful as marriage functions were going on in full swing and in between me, Chirag and Rungta managed to spare time for some sight seeing. First we reached Chennai museum on the Saturday morning. All sort of historical artifacts were there, from 1000B.C. to contemporary period, like stone statues, Bronze statues, philately(the study of stamps), numismatics (study of coins) etc. After that we went to Marina beach, which by the way is the second longest beach in the world. Me and Chirag went inside the water while Rungta stayed out. After that, a series of events caused much annoyance for us, foremost the climate which was way too humid and communication was a big problem there for a lot of people were simply unable to comprehend Hindi or even English.

Marriage functions were all on time not like our north Indian ways where everything gets delayed. We all danced euphorically with all the weird and funny moves on display at the Baraat ceremony. Feast was served on banana leaf with the sumptuous south Indian cuisine at their particular positions. In the end it was altogether new experience for me- the traditional way of south indian marriage, their customs, language and cuisine. Here are some pics for you guys :
