What is it about?
“Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” revolves around a story set in 1997, a time before the widespread presence of social media and the internet. The film follows a couple who capture intimate moments during their honeymoon in Goa, only to face a burglary upon returning to their hometown in Hrishikesh. The central plot focuses on Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and Vidya (Triptii Dimri) trying to retrieve the stolen CD before it falls into the wrong hands, leading to a series of unexpected events.
What’s hot?
Raaj Shaandilyaa’s concept for the film sets up an intriguing and thrilling narrative that engages viewers from the beginning. Rajkummar Rao shines in his portrayal of Vicky, navigating a range of emotions in response to a potential scandal. The initial stages of the film draw audiences in with the playful and dramatic love story unfolding between a Mehendi wala and an MBBS doctor, keeping viewers invested in the characters and storyline. Despite some shortcomings, the humor and drama maintain a compelling pace until the robbery occurs. The anticipation for the ‘whodunnit’ mystery adds depth to the plot, supported by Rajkummar Rao’s comedic timing.
What’s not?
The narrative of “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” stumbles when the focus shifts to the police investigation following the robbery at Vicky and Vidya’s house. While humor is a significant element, some jokes in the film cross the line into cringe-worthy territory, especially when they venture into sexist and body-shaming territory. The film introduces a multitude of characters and subplots, overshadowing the central storyline and overcrowding the narrative. The movie’s second half falls short of expectations, with a jarring transition to a horror twist that disrupts the overall coherence of the story. The treatment of certain themes, such as romantic obsession, feels forced and preachy, detracting from the film’s intended message.
The Conclusion
“Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” offers a unique storyline with the potential for entertainment, yet it falters in execution. While some comedic moments land effectively, others miss the mark and detract from the overall viewing experience. The abrupt shift to a horror genre element undermines the film’s narrative coherence and fails to resonate with audiences. With a more focused approach on Vicky and Vidya’s drama, and a trimmed-down narrative to avoid unnecessary distractions, the film could have been a more engaging watch. Unfortunately, it falls short of expectations.
