Plot Overview | Vicky and Vidya, a newlywed couple, record their intimate moments on video. Chaos ensues when the video is stolen, leading to a series of comic and dramatic events, with social issues and supernatural elements intertwined. |
The pacing is uneven, with some scenes dragging on while others feel rushed. This imbalance makes the film a tiring watch, detracting from its comedic potential.
While the film attempts to tap into 90s nostalgia with songs and references, it fails to effectively transport viewers to that era, and the nostalgic elements feel forced and uninspired.
The humor feels forced and falls flat due to the inconsistent tone. The satirical take on social issues is shallow and at times feels insensitive, reducing its effectiveness.
The climax turns bizarre, shifting abruptly to activism-focused and horror-comedy elements, which feels jarring and disconnected from the rest of the film's narrative.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video presents an interesting concept, but its execution falters due to a muddled script, inconsistent tone, and underdeveloped characters. While Rajkummar Rao’s performance adds some depth to the film, the chaotic narrative and genre shifts lead to a missed opportunity. The film may appeal to viewers seeking quirky humor, but its lack of clarity and focus makes it a forgettable experience for many.
