Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Movie Review

...shows potential, but fails to live up to expectations. The film is a yawnfest.

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is a throwback to 90s comedy, but it delivers diminishing returns with outdated humour and missed opportunities.

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video feels like a mix of Govinda-era slapstick, Ramsay Brothers’ horror, and a dash of Priyadarshan-style comedy.

But this film has no reason to exist in the 90s. It could be a film about a couple whose video goes viral on social media.

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is best left alone. It is a comedy that groans and croaks under the unbearable lightness of its unabashed silliness.

Overall, the exposure of the true villain (which is unexpected and comes in again as a device to enhance the film’s “social relevance” while actually only adding to the runtime!) is too protracted.

While the trailer may have raised your hopes for the Rajkummar-Tripti starrer, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is worth skipping.

The ensemble film had the potential to be a comedy of errors like Priyadarshan’s past hits, but it’s way too inconsistent and vague in its approach and intent. The story lacks clarity about what it sets to achieve.

Although she’s portrayed a lot less provocatively in this small-town spectacle, there’s nothing significant other-ish in this medley of Stree, lies and videotape, which ends on a melodramatic note with sermons on women’s izzat…

On the whole, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is not a very entertaining fare as it relies on dialogues and gimmicks more than a wholesome drama to keep the audience engaged.

It would seem that even the filmmakers, including the lead, weren’t quite sure of their product. Because, mild spoiler alert when in doubt, pull ‘Stree’ out?
