Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, attempts to weave a comedic narrative around a stolen wedding night video, set in the nostalgic backdrop of 1997 Rishikesh. The film stars Rajkummar Rao as Vicky, a mehndiwala, and Triptii Dimri as his wife, Vidya, a doctor who ironically never practices medicine on-screen. The plot kicks off humorously as Vicky convinces Vidya to record their wedding night, but chaos ensues when the video is stolen, leading to a series of farcical escapades.
Despite its promising premise, the film falters due to haphazard writing and an overabundance of quirky characters that often overshadow the main leads. Veteran actors like Vijay Raaz and Archana Puran Singh deliver delightful performances, infusing life into an otherwise monotonous script. Mallika Sherawat makes a notable comeback as Chanda, Vicky’s sister, bringing a refreshing presence to the film.
However, the humor often feels forced, with characters resorting to loud, over-the-top dialogues that diminish the comedic impact. As the narrative progresses, the absurdity ramps up, straying far from its initial comedic intentions. Moments intended to invoke laughter, like a cemetery scene reminiscent of the horror-comedy Stree, come off as convoluted rather than amusing.
At 152 minutes, the film drags, oscillating between slapstick comedy and melodrama, ultimately failing to establish a coherent tone. While it carries a message about the consequences of invading privacy, it does so in a manner that feels preachy rather than impactful.
In conclusion, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video offers fleeting moments of laughter but struggles to maintain a consistent narrative flow, leaving viewers craving more substance amidst its attempts at humor. For audiences in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, the film may resonate more, but it misses the mark for those seeking a well-crafted comedic experience.
