Vicky Donor (2012)
[a fun yet thought provoking movie ]
IMDB- 8.1
RJGrating- 90
Vicky an unemployed youth takes up sperm donation on the advice of the doctor of a failing infertility clinic.
Starring- Ayushmann Khurrana ,Yami Gautam ,Annu Kapoor
Director- Shoojit Sircar
Vicky Donor is an excellent movie ,and the topic it has picked up on is a welcome change from the usual issues that haunt bollywood movies.
Ayushman makes a superb debut.He is completely at ease and may sweep all the debut awards this year.Yami & Annu give excellent support to the movie as well.
The story for Vicky Donor is light but carries a heavy message.It was nicely put up and it really highlights the issues that donors face.The movie keeps up a feel-good aura from start to finish.
Shoojit's direction was excellent.The pace of the movie was steady and never had a dull phase.Also the extremely likeable characters were another plus point for Vicky Donor.The songs are aptly used and none felt too long or out of place.The moral message passed on by the movie is hard hitting ,and the director must be praised for bringing up such a topic into the mainstream.
It could have been one of the usual gross and slapstick comedy type movies that Bollywood usually comes up with,but thankfully Vicky Donor stays away from such gimmicks.
Overall,Vicky Donor is one of the best of 2012,its light and fun but also carries a valuable message.
Acting-4.5/5
Story-4.5/5

Chronicle (2012)
[fantasy becomes reality]
IMDB- 7.2
Rotten tomatoes- 85
RJG Rating- 100
3 teenagers stumble upon an underground cave which changes their lives forever.
Starring- Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael B. Jordan
Director- Josh Trank
Chronicle is a found footage movie (like Paranormal Activity ,Blair Witch etc)but unlike most movies of this type it isnt horror but an action - drama movie.
The 3 main characters are portrayed excellently by the lead guys.Their roles are well developed and they are able to easily convey the stories and events flawlessly.
Story is amazing.Its the simplicity that really makes it more strong.It starts off slow and introduces the main character and then it slowly morphs into fun and then into an action packed finale.All the while it follows a very simplistic style of storytelling.
Direction was what made the movie so strong.Its pace is steady and the way the movie progresses from normal to epic is amazing.The visuals used arent the usual big budget ;out of the world types ,they are the cheap ones used in small scale movies.Even with this limitation,the visual effects never disappoint.Its usage is in the right quantity and that itself helps the viewers relate to the characters.
This isnt an outright action movie,so if you are expecting some big explosions and fight scenes every 10 min ,this movie is not your type.Just like its name,Chronicle,it follows a timeline of events of the 3 youngsters ,so it involves their daily life ,their highs their lows. But even through all this ,its exciting. The movie relates to what the average teenager/kids would do in such situations.
Chronicle is a must watch , and clearly one of the best of 2012.
Acting-4.5/5
Story-5/5
Direction-5/5
Action-5/5
Thriller-5/5
