Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video

A very nice and light headed movie that can be watched with family. I don't know how is it reviewed so low. Great acting by Rajkumar Rao, Tripti Dimri, Mallika sherawat, vijay raaz, tiku talsania and almost everyone in the movie. The movie has a good direction and witty dialogues and keeps the audience engaged throughout the movie. First half of the movie is better filled with humour. Some depth could have been added to Triptii's character which would have enhanced the chemistry between Rajkumar Rao and Triptii Dimri. But overall a good to watch movie with family, friends, colleagues or anyone.

Vidya is about to get married and she along with her lover Vicky, trick everyone at the wedding into believing that the groom is an insecure guy, doubting Vidya. As the marriage gets cancelled, Vicky steps into marry Vidya despite her being a doctor and him, a mehendi artist. They lie to their family and change their honeymoon destination to Goa, where they end up making a private video of themselves for memories. Back at home, they get robbed and the CD got left in the CD player which got stolen. Now, Vicky has to retrieve the CD no matter what after realizing how incompetent the cops on the case are. Through comedy of errors, Vicky and co, uncover a nasty truth and how do they resolve the issue, forms rest of the story.

The gang behind Comedy Circus is honestly capable of much more than what they have delivered in this movie. Sadly the film is laden with recycled jokes that remain dead on arrival and the film doesn't take itself seriously till the final act which alone could have worked in it's favor, if the dramatic final act hadn't turn towards preaching. The jokes too needed to be better as the bunch of good actors have been given nothing to work with. The film kept dragged on without any worthy comedy segment and the actors could only do so much. More than a decade ago, I would have laughed at some of these jokes as part of comedy circus skit but not anymore. I am aware of deletion of Stree segment so even with it, that whole graveyard scene wouldn't have been funny.

Bollywood should just accept their epic downfall and stop making movies. I had given up on bollywood long ago but I had hoped that if Tripti and Rajkumar are the stars of the movie then there might be something worth watching but how wrong was I. Bollywood stars should consider acting in movie which will enhance the cinematic experiences rather than only focusing on what is going to make them more money or famous because I assure you this will only reduce the audience trust in you. Although in short term these kind of movies will make you famous on reels it won't enhance your image at all. I feel bad for my wallet and time which got wasted on this movie. If movies with bad plotlines and torturing songs are made then at least have a good comic timing. Sitting in the theatre and eating overpriced tasteless nachos while watching this ridiculous movies was a pure torture.

The plot in brief is as follows. During their honeymoon a young couple decides in fun to record their private moments in a video CD. To their bad luck it gets stolen causing embarrassment to all. As a cop starts investigating it sets off a chain of anxious and amusing events. Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri play the couple. The movie itself tries to position itself as a full fledged comic caper and almost succeeds. There are a number of hilarious scenes and amusing gags. All characters are caricatures with varying degrees of craziness. An ensemble of comedians like Rakesh Bedi, Archana Puran Singh, Tiku Tilsania, Mukesh Tiwari,Ashwini Kalsekar and Vijay Raaz go all out to create comic situations which are entertaining no doubt. Vijay Raaz once again plays a crazy cop who investigates the case of the missing CD with laughable results.

Director Raaj Shaandilya has made it an entertaining comedy with no questions to be asked on the credibility of the situations. The characters are over the top, crazy and loud most of the time and there are a few raunchy scenes too. The movie is patterned that way. There are references to songs of the past and there is a remix too with Daler Mehndi. All told it provides escapist entertaininment.

Overview: The type of movie that Hindi Cinema should have left behind in this day and age. Full of implausible scenarios, overacting, and no real attention paid to plot.

Plot: Set in 1997, the story is interesting enough with Vicky and Vidya a young couple looking to recover the CD on which they filmed an adult video of themselves. They get themselves into completely ridiculous scenarios. The main issue plot wise is that random things keep happening that were not mentioned before. For example, the main villain does not appear until 2/3 the way through, and we don't know the context for which they are there. Also there is an element of horror which totally doesn't fit the rest of the plot and just seems to be there for some random multiverse situation.

Acting: The acting is fine with decent performances by both Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri. The script was terrible so not much that they could do with it. The rest of the cast is fine as well nothing much to report on.

Music: Music is ok with one very good song Mere Mehboob playing during the credits as an item number.

Conclusion: Not even worth a watch on OTT platforms. Give this one a miss.
