Movie Review: Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video
It’s 1997, an era when home entertainment equalled recording all kinds of stuff– beach vacays, birthdays, and ahem, X-rated activities– on handheld video cameras, and playing them back on personal VHS machines.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, Vicky is a male mehendi artist,Set in Rishikesh when it was part of Uttar Pradesh, the film follows Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) as he gets married to Vidya (Triptii Dimri) despite a mismatch their professions. Overcome by they decide to make a video of their wedding night which goes missing very soon . The rest of the film is a mad cap cock and bull story about the couple trying to find it.
Even as the distracted policeman beats about the bush, a ransom call is received. All hell breaks loose. Panic gives way to chaos. And chaos triggers a mad scramble. That is pretty much what Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is: a hopelessly helter-skelter affair that spins on a shaky spindle.
Of the supporting cast Vijay Raaz has the capacity to turn anything into a joke, even when he is in the most awful wig known to mankind. And Mallika Sherawat, who knows a thing or two about being sexy and funny, is back after a long-ish gap.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has the feel of an extended skit that aspires to be a runaway laugh riot. It is a riot all right but not in the way, or to the extent, that it wants to be. The film always manages to run in a direction that goes nowhere
It's strictly a one time watch. We give it two and a half star
