Themes and development :
Vicky Donor deals with sperm donation and infertility. When questioned about the risky subject matter, Abraham responded, “Basically, Vicky Donor is a romantic comedy. But the concept is set against the background of sperm donation.” Abraham hoped that the film could shed light on a serious issue still considered “taboo” in Indian society.
Sircar said, “I want to take a light-hearted look at the taboo attached to infertility and artificial insemination.” Before filming began, Sircar researched the plot themes for three years. Juhi Chaturvedi, creative director at advertising agency Bates, who wrote the screenplay based on her own idea, had stayed in Lajpat Nagar as a student at College of Arts, Delhi. As the script went through several drafts, she met a couple who run a noted fertility clinic in Mumbai.
Production :
Despite the usual trend, Abraham did not take up the leading role in the film: “It was a conscious decision to not act in my first production because I believe producing a film is about creating quality content that I believe in.” Director Sircar suggested Khurrana, a video jockey and television host, for the role of Vicky; he was considered because he was popular among the youth. He “can read and write Punjabi too.” Khurrana turned down three film projects to play the lead in Vicky Donor. To prepare for the role, he met medical experts and donors to understand sperm donation; a major medical consultant specialising in the field was later inducted as a medical adviser for the film. Additionally, Khurrana studied acting and attended workshops with N.K. Sharma in Delhi.It was later reported that Abraham would perform an “item number.” Commenting on his performance, Abraham said “I am glad I cast Ayushmann in the lead. He’s a complete natural, has all the trappings of a fine actor and has delivered a super performance. It doesn’t seem like Vicky Donor is his first film.” It was reported that the production crew would feature “the best technicians from Los Angeles” and acclaimed action choreographer J J Perry. Incidentally, Ayushmann who plays the lead role, successfully performed a task on the reality show MTV Roadies: Season 2, which was sperm donation.

Vicky Donor Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 7.8 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 39,684.
As my review title says, this is truly the most underrated mature Bollywood movie of recent years.
The topic which is still a huge taboo in India, has been handled so humorously yet maturely, that never once you feel that the jokes are crass or dirty, yet you will be rolling in your seat laughing.
Ayushman Khurrana is a natural, but the one who steals the limelight is Anu Kapoor with perhaps the best performance in his career spanning decades.
For every intelligent film viewer of India, this is a must watch movie.
Critics Rating by Taran Adarsh, from Bollywood Hungama give 3.5 star out of 5 Star.
