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.

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (2024) : Movie Review -

Raaj Shaandilyaa is definitely losing his touch, and the statement becomes more relevant when you see films like Janhit Mein Jaari, Luv Ki Arrange Marriage, Dream Girl 2, and now Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. What must be the reason? The forced comedy remains the constant factor here. Apparently, these films somehow tried to tackle sensitive social issues, which I believe Raaj should stop doing at once. Let's stick to the comedy and make a good comedy; forget the social awareness and family problems. People come to cinemas to enjoy comedies, not to see their sensitive issues getting brutally trolled on the screen. Not everyone can be Rajkumar Hirani, and even a great filmmaker like him has failed recently with Dunki; then Raaj Shandilyaa is way behind.

Set in Rishikesh in 1997, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has a mehndi designer, Vicky (Rajkummar Rao), who is in love with Vidya (Tripti Dimri). By hook or crook, they manage to get married by creating a solid drama that looks very childish on the screen. Instead of Vaishnodevi, they decide to go to Goa for their honeymoon, and there they have this crazy idea of shooting a video of their sexual encounter. After returning home, the CD of their video gets stolen by a thief, and the couple sees trouble calling in the future. To avoid that, they must find the CD, but is it that easy? Find out the answer in the movie.

The film is written by Raaj Shaandilyaa only, so I'll take him responsible for all the goods and bads. First goods: This is an out-and-out comedy right from the beginning scene till the last one. Every single scene has been designed to create comedy and laughter. Now negatives: This is actually a forced comedy and looks very kiddish on many occasions. I personally think that this Western idea of making a honeymoon video was the worst selling point for the film. By calling it 97% parivarik, you are actually keeping 97% of the family audience away because any film with a sexual encounter's reference cannot appeal to the family audiences who like to watch the film together, especially with the kids. Raaj's screenplay is full of cringe scenes and Facebook post jokes that I used to read a decade ago during college days. Many of them became WhatsApp forwards later, but Raaj is too late to take them as the main reference point in the film. The film suffers from a poor plot and weak screenplay.

Rajkummar Rao is one of the finest actors of Bollywood from a young lot (his generation), but movies and roles like these don't do justice to his talent. He was fine in Srikanth this year, but the direction was flawed. He was decent in Stree 2, which wasn't an acting-driven role but survived due to the presence of a better director. Now here, he lacks both. Tripti Dimri can never be considered a good actress with such glamorous and stamp paper roles. I'd like to see her gorgeous face again and again, but not if she is not doing justice to the "actor" in her. For that, she must continue doing Bulbull and Qala. Vijay Raaz brings a few laughs, and Mallika Sherawat looks hot throughout the film, but these two could have been provided with better dialogues and characteristics. Archana Puran Singh and Mukesh Tiwari are loud and annoying; Tiku Talsania saves the day; Ashwini Kalsekar goes wild and over the top; Mast Ali, Kaveri Jha, and the rest of the supporting cast couldn't do anything noticeable. Shehnaaz Gill raises temperature with her cameo in a badly remade song.

VVKWWV has technical flaws as well, but I think it hardly matters in genres like comedy. The cinematography was decent, the editing was below average as it couldn't hold me for two and a half hours, the background score was too typical, like a TV sitcom, and the production design was fairly decent. The music doesn't help here except that the songs are visually appealing. It lacks a chartbuster for sure. A few dialogues are very funny, while the rest of them look forced and artificial. "Baat baat pe maarti hai, shaadi karke biwi laya hun ya Ajay Devgn"-these kinds of dialogue would definitely make you laugh. However, the forced humor and screenplay will annoy you. What was the need of Stree's spoof? Was there any need for chaotic mess in the ending? The film could have been wrapped within two hours, but this extra half an hour is what caused its downfall. Raaj Shandilyaa should start writing original jokes now because the internet has made these standup comedies, one-liners, and WhatsApp/Facebook forwards much more viral in today's time than they were before the pandemic. And most importantly, stop forcing comedy and PJs in every single scene. It looks tiresome in an hour or so. In short, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is low on substance and high on childish jokes.

RATING - 3/10*

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.

I observed lots of mixed reviews from the audiences as well as from the critics yet went for it because of it's strong starcast and good film makers name associated with it. In simple terms I can consider it as a decent one time watch kind of comedy which is worth watching in my personal view.

The Acting performances of both leading characters were superb and all other supportive characters also played their parts brilliantly. Rajkumar as Vicky is totally suitable for such kind of roles. His way of talking, comic timings and actions while portraying his funky roles were hilarious to watch. Tripti Dimri was damn adorable in this entire movie and played her part decently. Leading character's parents were also hilarious to watch with their funky roles. But The Show Stealer performance was given by Vijay Raj here. Hands down! It was his best work in recent times. His style, action, comic timing and so called romance in this movie definitely outplayed Rajkumar's character for sure. Even his chemistry with Mallika Shehrawat was also damn better than our leading characters.

Storyline of this movie was very short and extremely short forward. 90s songs were very well attached according to the situations but other songs were average in this movie. The runtime is also little bit dragged I guess, I mean in the beginning of this movie they could have been trimmed down the story a little bit. And of course the climax story, Ohh man! That was completely out of plot, they just adjusted it little bit to get mixed with the main plot and of course some unnecessary melodramatic dialogue deliveries, not that suitable for all kind of audiences.

Overall a decent watch, if you want to spend your boring time with a fresh comedy movie. From my side it will be 6 out of 10 Stars for it and I will consider it as 90% safe to watch with family, but beware of some double meaning cringe dialogues and 2/3 soft makeout scene..That's it...

Raaj Shaandilyaa did it again. Just like Dream Girl This movie is also filled with so much laughs. Funny Dialouges are Fresh, Unique, non repeated, never heard before... but movie is no where near Hungama, Dream Girl...

Rajkumar Rao Isn't good actor at all. No idea why everyone likes it. He does bad facial expression, Over acting. Has no talent at all.

Ayushman would have been much better choice for this movie...

Story is ok. Editing is bad. Some funny scenes not synced with its related sound. Movie has enough things to keep audience engaged. Short time length was good decision...

Ayushman and Good editing would have made movie much better...
