An endearing film. The way it handles the subject of sperm donation interwoven into a story of two love-hit souls is itself great. But it is in the mould of the Basu Chatterji movies in terms of its handling of characters, story-telling, etc.. And that IS a compliment.
The lead actors are fresh and unstarry, and that helps a lot. Had Shah Rukh and Kareena been in it, it may have depreciated the value of this film. Ayushman Khurana as the typical nice Punjabi boy next door, and Yami Gautam (she's yummy- can't resist the cliched word) as the Bangalan whose dad can't think beyond Chittaranjan Park ( I live in CR Park!), add a lot to the film's charm, as do Annu Kapoor as the doc, and all other bit players- the Bong dad, the Panju mom and grandmom who disagree with each other on almost everything, are heart-warming in their simplicity (or the lack of it in the wedding ceremony).
A must watch, and kudos to Shoojit Sircar for directing it, the lady who wrote it for the story, and John Abraham for producing (and not acting) in it.

I wonder what the Hindi word for SPERM is?
Jeevanu, maybe?
Liked the way Annu Kapoor uses his fingers - like an eager sperm going forward enthusiastically. Master stroke.
Jeevanu sounds like a female desi butler for some odd reason
I Google translated and found that sperm is called at śukrāṇu bulāyā in hindi....sounds difficult to pronounce

Thank you, Joe.
Anu Kapoor's finest acting....the way he moves his fingers whenever he utters the word sperm is hilarious
