MOVIE REVIEW: Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is a film that starts with promise but fizzles out due to weak storytelling and direction. It tries to be a complete fun entertainer but falls short of delivering a consistently entertaining experience. While it starts off on a high note with funny dialogues and one-liners, the film suffers from a lack of story and a sloppy screenplay, making it a tale of two halves—one that entertains and one that irritates. The makers’ attempt to include horror-comedy scenes, especially the homage to the hit film “Stree,” was a major letdown. What should have been a clever nod turned out to be a sequence that didn’t quite fit and left the audience disappointed.

Writer-director Raj Shandilya, who made a name for himself with comedy hits like “Dream Girl” and “Dream Girl 2,” demonstrates his knack for humor in the first half of this film. The opening half is a riot—every joke lands, the punchlines hit the mark. The dialogue is sharp, and the chemistry between the lead characters is fun to watch. However, the fun doesn’t last long. As soon as the second half begins, the film loses its charm. The plot centers around the search for ‘that CD,’ but after a while, this chase becomes repetitive and boring. The film could have easily been cut by 15 minutes with some tighter editing.

Rajkummar Rao shines in the comic sequences, his impeccable timing elevating the humor. Triptii Dimri supports him well, but her character feels underdeveloped. She had the potential for more, but the script fails to give her enough depth. One of the brighter spots in the film is Mallika Sherawat, making a brilliant comeback. Vijay Raaz and Tiku Talsania, did their best to inject life into their roles and bringing genuine laughs. Rakesh Bedi and Archana Patel are terrific in their respective roles. It’s a treat to see Mast Ali, famous for his Hyderabadi comedy films, in a Hindi movie. He adds a unique flavor to the comedy. However, even all these strong performance can’t save the film from its weak narrative.
