Ayushmann Khurrana's Vicky Donor remains an exhilarating watch after all these years

There are many, many films that I would rather forget the moment the curtain falls.

In fact, some among these are so bad that I would rather walk out after the first half, when it is interval time—a system that Indian movies have adopted perhaps to sell popcorn and other snacks that are insanely priced.

However, there are a few movies that I feel like revisiting ever so often. One of them is Vicky Donor (2012), helmed by Shoojit Sircar, who gave us some lovely works like Piku, Madras Cafe and Gulabo Sitabo. Of all these, it is Vicky Donor that I loved the most.

For one, it spoke about a very novel subject—sperm donation and adoption which till today, despite all modern thinking (sex outside marriage, divorce, extra-marital affairs, etc., etc.) carry a stigma. Most people want to have their own biological kids, because of unwarranted prejudices.

Vicky Donor passes through these with admirable ease.
