Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Review: The adage “Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover” holds true, especially in India, where there’s a craze for foreign things. Vicky and Vidya, influenced by Western culture, record an intimate video, which becomes the central plot. The story begins in Rishikesh in 1997, where Rajkummar Rao plays Vicky, the town’s best mehndi artist. His popularity is evident as every bride wants Vicky’s mehndi.
The story begins when Vicky is called to apply mehndi for his love interest, Vidya (Tripti Dimri), engaged to someone else. He creates a dramatic scene, leading to Vidya’s engagement being called off, and they get married. Their honeymoon in Goa takes a turn when they record an intimate video, which gets stolen. The search for the DVD, named “Dard Bhare Geet” (Painful Songs), unfolds with comedic moments and sensitive issues like privacy and pornography.
What’s special about ‘Vicky and Vidya’s That Video’?
The most special thing about this film is its writing and direction. Director-writer Raj Shandilya has showcased his expertise in such a way that a simple story offers both entertainment and awareness. In this two-and-a-half-hour film, there will be many moments that will make you laugh out loud in the theater. Quick-witted jokes have been skillfully incorporated into the film.
A duplicate ‘Stree’ has also been arranged for Stree lovers. You’ll find the perfect opportunity to grab popcorn and enjoy to the fullest. Though the first half is impressive and engaging, the second half feels slightly stretched due to its emotional cocktail, which requires extra effort to digest.
A special note
If 1-2 songs were to be removed, the budget would decrease, and the film’s pace would increase. Rajkummar Rao’s comic timing as Vicky is impressive, and his body language and double-meaning punches are enjoyable. Tripti Dimri’s character, Vidya, is well-written, and her timing is fantastic. Rajkummar and Tripti’s chemistry sparks.
Mallika Sherawat as Chanda also showcases her acting skills, making it enjoyable. Her chemistry with Vijay Raj is reminiscent of 90’s restricted love. Archana Puran Singh’s comic timing is also good. However, this film isn’t 100% suitable for family viewing; watch it with friends or your partner. Watching it with children may make the double-meaning jokes uncomfortable.
