First half seemed promising, some good jokes and lame jokes around, but movie fails to hold the plot and storyline, feels streched and yet fails to deliver despite good starcast.
A mere entertainer which you can watch once or miss out.
As usual we can see Rajkumar rao trying his best but yet failing, tripti seems average, jokes some falls short , some sure does make you laugh and some makes you question about the film. The plot does not carry us in the storyline. It diverts alot just to entertain us, leaving alot of dead spots which could have been filled with alot of creativity.
A no brainer semi entertainer.

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.
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.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is a film that starts with promise but fizzles out due to weak storytelling and direction. It tries to be a complete fun entertainer but falls short of delivering a consistently entertaining experience. While it starts off on a high note with funny dialogues and one-liners, the film suffers from a lack of story and a sloppy screenplay, making it a tale of two halves-one that entertains and one that irritates. The makers' attempt to include horror-comedy scenes, especially the homage to the hit film "Stree," was a major letdown. What should have been a clever nod turned out to be a sequence that didn't quite fit and left the audience disappointed.
Writer-director Raj Shandilya, who made a name for himself with comedy hits like "Dream Girl" and "Dream Girl 2," demonstrates his knack for humor in the first half of this film. The opening half is a riot-every joke lands, the punchlines hit the mark. The dialogue is sharp, and the chemistry between the lead characters is fun to watch. However, the fun doesn't last long. As soon as the second half begins, the film loses its charm. The plot centers around the search for 'that CD,' but after a while, this chase becomes repetitive and boring. The film could have easily been cut by 15 minutes with some tighter editing.
Rajkummar Rao shines in the comic sequences, his impeccable timing elevating the humor. Triptii Dimri supports him well, but her character feels underdeveloped. She had the potential for more, but the script fails to give her enough depth. One of the brighter spots in the film is Mallika Sherawat, making a brilliant comeback. Vijay Raaz and Tiku Talsania, did their best to inject life into their roles and bringing genuine laughs. Rakesh Bedi and Archana Patel are terrific in their respective roles. It's a treat to see Mast Ali, famous for his Hyderabadi comedy films, in a Hindi movie. He adds a unique flavor to the comedy. However, even all these strong performance can't save the film from its weak narrative.

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.
