Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Movie Review

Star Cast: Rajkummar Rao, Triptii Dimri, Vijay Raaz, Mallika Sherawat, Archana Puran Singh, Tiku Talsania
Director: Raaj Shandilyaa
Review Rating: (3/5)

Script Analysis:

Raaj Shandilyaa and his team craft a script brimming with humor and quirky moments, but it struggles to maintain focus. The opening sequence of Vicky’s apparent suicide attempt creates intrigue, though its late explanation feels overly dramatic. The first half offers some light-hearted fun, like the humorous Vidya marriage sequence and Manjot Singh’s memorable cameo as a Sikh groom. However, the second half introduces unnecessary subplots, such as a trio of comic criminals and an awkward cemetery horror scene, which dilute the film’s impact.

While the social angle of exposing clandestine filming adds weight, the preachy undertone detracts from the intended humor. The big twist involving the villain feels contrived, extending the runtime unnecessarily. Despite the uneven narrative, clever one-liners like “do lakh ki jagah do laash” keep the audience chuckling.

Star Performance:

Rajkummar Rao delivers a solid performance, embracing the quirky tone of the film with ease. Triptii Dimri stands out as Vidya, exuding charm and delivering a nuanced portrayal of anger and confusion. Mallika Sherawat and Archana Patel impress as ‘Chanda’s, while Vijay Raaz taps into his comedic potential.

Archana Puran Singh steals the show with her hilarious portrayal of Vidya’s paan-addicted mother, sharing brief yet memorable moments with Rakesh Bedi. Saharsh Kumar Shukla as Pardesi and Mast Ali as the robber leave a lasting impression, adding color to the ensemble.

Direction and Music:

Raaj Shandilyaa aims to blend comedy, social commentary, and supernatural elements, but the result is a mixed bag. The vibrant setting of Rishikesh adds visual charm, though the film’s attempt to juggle multiple genres feels cluttered.

Sachin-Jigar’s soundtrack is a highlight, with “Mere Mehboob” standing out. Nostalgic melodies by Anand-Milind and Jatin-Lalit, used in their original form, add a retro touch. However, the music fails to elevate the film’s emotional beats significantly.

The Last Word:

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video offers a lighthearted escape from daily life with laugh-out-loud moments and strong performances. However, its uneven narrative and excessive subplots prevent it from being a complete entertainer. It’s worth a one-time watch, especially for fans of quirky comedy.
