The story per say may not have healthy males rushing to donate sperm. But it does drive home a point. Dr Baldev Chaddha (Annu Kapoor) who runs a fertility clinic and a sperm bank in New Delhi's Daryaganj area aptly explains the reason for cases of childlessness (read infertility). 'Stress,' he says is the one major factor. 'Husband is busy at work, he spends three hours going through and fro and when he is home he is again immersed in work leaving no time for his wife.' On the contrary, he says, villagers are more potent with birth rate on an increase!

The characterization and casting has a huge impact. In fact, that is the biggest plus after the 'out of the box' topic. The situations that arise sometimes have you in splits, and I believe it was never intentional. It's just the sheer genius of the actors and the director to let the situation be and go with the flow. More of that later, as we will first dwell on Dr Chaddha's problem at hand.

CHECK OUT: Ayushmann Khurrana - Vicky is very much me

Dr Chaddha has more failed cases to his credit than he can handle. The pressure from couples for healthy sperm is mounting and Dr Chaddha chances upon Vicky Arora (Ayushmann Khurrana) in his neighborhood. His vast experience tells him that he is the man for his job. He then begins chasing Vicky to impress upon him the need. Vicky's mother (Dolly Ahluwalia) runs a beauty parlour from home and has to constantly face questions from neighbours as to when Vicky will start working. Vicky finally gives in and when his sample test proves what Dr Chaddha believed, business booms for both of them.

Suddenly, Vicky is flush with funds, not only from Dr Chaddha but also from happy parents who shower Dr Chaddha with money and gifts. Dr Chaddha passes on the 'bonus' to Vicky as well. No one yet knows Vicky's secret.

Vicky soon pursues Ashima Roy (Yami Gautam) who works in a bank. He is a North Indian and she is a Bengali. Ashima knows that Vicky is a business man who deals in 'Handi'crafts', while Dr Chaddha is his business partner. Will she ever learn the truth of her husband's past. And if she does, what will the reaction be? Is it ethical to donate sperm and does children from the donor legally bind the father to the many children he could have sired? While the last question is not addressed, the ethical issues are looked into.
