Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (2024)

“Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video,” released on October 11, 2024, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and produced by T-Series Films, Balaji Motion Pictures, Wakaoo Films, and Kathavachak Films, promised a nostalgic ’90s comedy with Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri in the lead. Instead, it delivers a tiresome, poorly executed mess overshadowed by its own hype. The film is a slog that squanders its cast and premise with juvenile humor and a disjointed script.

Set in 1997 Rishikesh, the plot follows Vicky (Rao), a mehndi artist, and Vidya (Dimri), a doctor, who marry and record an intimate video on their Goa honeymoon—only for it to be stolen during a burglary, alongside their CD player and an ancestral sword. What could’ve been a sharp comedy of errors spirals into a convoluted goose chase involving a bumbling cop (Vijay Raaz), Vicky’s flirtatious sister Chanda (Mallika Sherawat), and a parade of pointless characters. The film’s 152-minute runtime feels like an eternity, dragging through forced gags, a bizarre “Stree” spoof, and a preachy climax about privacy and women’s dignity that lands like a sledgehammer on an already broken narrative.

Rajkummar Rao, riding high from “Stree 2,” is the only flicker of competence, landing a few one-liners with his trademark wit—like “Shaadi karke biwi laaya hoon ya Ajay Devgn”—but even he can’t salvage this sinking ship. Triptii Dimri, billed as Bollywood’s next big thing post-“Animal,” is utterly wasted, her Vidya a blank slate with no depth or spark. Their chemistry, hyped in trailers, fizzles on screen, buried under a script that doesn’t know what to do with them. Vijay Raaz and Mallika Sherawat inject fleeting energy—her vampish Chanda a rare highlight—but they’re drowned in a sea of mediocrity. The ensemble, including Tiku Talsania and Mukesh Tiwari, is reduced to caricature, their talents squandered on half-baked roles.

Shaandilyaa, once celebrated for “Dream Girl,” seems to have lost his touch. The first half teases a laugh riot with snappy dialogue, but it’s a bait-and-switch—the second half collapses into a tonal mishmash of crime, ghost cameos, and moralizing that feels tacked on. The screenplay, co-written with Yusuf Ali Khan, Ishrat Khan, and Rajan Agarwal, is a sloppy patchwork, wasting time on irrelevant detours like a flea market hunt or a cop’s romance subplot. Aseem Mishra’s cinematography tries to evoke ’90s nostalgia, but the over-saturated visuals clash with Hitesh Sonik’s grating score and Sachin-Jigar’s forgettable songs—“Mere Mehboob” aside, they’re just noise.

“Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” is a relic that doesn’t earn its nostalgia or its laughs. It’s a lazy, overstuffed comedy that insults its audience’s patience and its actors’ potential—a video you’ll wish stayed lost.

Rating: 2/5

A torturous misstep—skip it unless you’re desperate for background noise.

Had there been no cinema, then this SharmaJiKaLadka would have died long ago. Out of food, sex and cinema this guy would always choose Cinema even if he would die virgin due to starvation.
