This particular flick is all about debuting – Hotshot John Abraham wearing the Producers Hat for the first time; Desi VJ Ayushmaan Khurrana’s first Bolly Cine; bringing the freshness to the musical aspect, are the Music Duo Abhishek-Akshay and it is the first-ever film of the tinsel town to have been made on sperm donation and infertility, which is still considered a taboo in our oh-so-developing country, India. It is also a movie with some newbies taking the mike and also penning down the lyrics. It has been composed by the collective efforts of five people and also the lyrics have been co-written.
Vicky Donor has quite an aweless subject but is presented along with a comic twist and Ayushmaan being a youth icon pays off really well. There were raised eyebrows with John not playing the lead and the film being made on such a subject, to this John casually replied stating that he wanted to create quality content he believed in, in his baby production and on the subject being risky he commented that it was a rom-com flick of a Punjabi boy and Bengali girl, revolving around sperm donation. Director Shoojit Sircar had done a great deal of homework on Sperm donation and infertility and also had consulted several medical experts and donors, prior to making of the film for almost three years. It is also said that there was a medical advisor inducted for the film.
Debutants Abhishek-Akshay, have done a decent job and the music is filled with freshness and callowness. Ayushman,Donn-Bann and Rochak Kohli, have also chipped in a fair share to the candor. Rum Whiskey is already making people groove, and much talked about is Pani Da Rang sung by debutant Ayushmaan himself.
