Renowned filmmaker Shoojit Sircar recently took to social media to announce the re-release of his iconic film Vicky Donor, which is set to be screened at select PVR-INOX locations on April 18. In a touching message, Sircar stated, "VICKY DONOR rereleasing on 18th April. PVR-INOX CURATED SHOWS. A tribute to our dear friends Jayanta Das and Akshay Verma." This special re-release is intended to honour the memories of two valued collaborators from the film, while providing fans with an opportunity to experience the cult classic on the big screen once again.

First released in 2012, Vicky Donor marked a significant milestone in Shoojit Sircar's directorial career and introduced Ayushmann Khurrana and Yami Gautam to the acting world. Produced by John Abraham, Sunil Lulla, and Ronnie Lahiri, the film approached the sensitive topic of sperm donation with both humour and empathy. Set against the backdrop of a Bengali-Punjabi family, it skillfully combined romance with social commentary, achieving both critical acclaim and commercial success.

The film's influence was highlighted at the 60th National Film Awards, where it received the National Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment. At the 58th Filmfare Awards, it garnered four awards, including Best Male Debut for Ayushmann Khurrana and Best Supporting Actor for Annu Kapoor. Its progressive themes, clever writing, and powerful performances established it as a pioneer in Hindi cinema, and its legacy continues through remakes in Telugu (Naruda Donoruda) and Tamil (Dharala Prabhu).

With its upcoming re-release, Vicky Donor is set to resonate with a new generation of viewers while evoking nostalgia among its original fans. This curated screening series not only serves as a chance to revisit a cherished film but also stands as a heartfelt homage to the late Jayanta Das and Akshay Verma, whose contributions were instrumental in creating a movie that transformed the landscape of mainstream Bollywood storytelling.
