Rating: 2.5/5
Director: Raaj Shaandilyaa
Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Triptii Dimri, Vijay Raaz, Mallika Sherawat
Storyline:
The story is set in 1997 – Newly-weds Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and Vidya (Triptii Dimri) make a sex tape of their wedding night.
Things go for a toss when Vicky’s house gets robbed and the incriminating intimate video gets stolen as well. A series of misunderstandings unravel as the couple tries to get their sex tape back at any cost.
Officer Laadle (Vijay Raaz) is the eccentric police officer assigned to solve the theft. He is obsessed with Vicky’s dramatic and flighty sister Chanda (played by Mallika Sherawat).
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Movie Review
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video starts off on a good note – packed with light-hearted scenes and funny albeit slightly tacky one-liners. But it goes off the rails pretty quickly, resulting in a chaotic, incoherent mess. Too many cooks spoil the broth here – there is way too much to keep up with and half of it doesn’t go anywhere.
Rajkummar Rao is stellar as always… his coming timing is on point but he is let down by the script at times. The 2nd half goes haywire with the inclusion of a shoddily done ‘Stree‘ ghost sequence. Instead of being a clever reference, it comes across as contrived and cringe. The in-your-face preachy monologue in the climax ends up being an overkill as well.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Movie Review
Tripti Dimri is in much better form here than in Bad Newz but nowhere near her potential in Qala and Bulbbul. It ends up being another mediocre role in the repertoire of an otherwise excellent actress. Comedy does not seem to be her forte.
Vijay Raaz, Mallika Sherawat try their best to lift the substandard material and it works partly.
If you’re in the mood for some light-hearted, fluff comedy – catch Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video in theatres near you.
