Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Review: Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri’s chemistry fades away in the theatres
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Review: Rajkummar Rao has given lessons to me three times already this year (via the screen, of course). Twice it was about women’s empowerment, and once it was about achievement through hard work. I’ve also seen Tripti Dimri make an effort at humor but fail miserably on the first try. I never thought I’d have to endure more of Tripti’s humor and Rajkummar’s lectures. However, I decided to try Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, and I have to admit that it wasn’t as smooth as a tequila shot.
I found myself wondering about the film’s duration and direction often, particularly in the second part. “Kya banane ki koshish kar rahe ho?” is what I wanted to ask director Raaj Shaandilyaa. (Exactly what are you attempting to create?). Is this a joke? A play? or a scary movie? The director, who also authored the movie, seemed to be having trouble deciding, so he went with all three just for kicks. Sadly, no matter how much I wanted to, I was unable to participate while seated in the passenger seat beyond a certain point.
According to the teaser, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala The pair in the video, Vicky (Rajkummar) and Vidya (Triptii), connives to be married by deceiving their relatives. They’re off to Goa for their honeymoon, where they plan to make a “special video.” They come back and play it again one night, but this time they don’t take the CD out of the player. The CD and the player are gone by morning. Vicky goes out to collect it, getting caught up in a murky market, facing charges of attempted murder, and even discovering a huge racket that his missing CD may reveal.
I like a good homage to the 1990s, and this film begins with a witty tribute to that decade, uses cliches to tell jokes, and advances the plot. However, the movie begins to take itself too seriously around the 45-minute mark. It takes a very different tone from when it was having fun with the ’90s motif.
This change in tone has the potential to be effective, and it even becomes engaging at the interval. However, the second portion is when everything breaks down. Unexpectedly, Raaj adds a scary aspect to the narrative and, spoiler warning, includes Stree. The ill-advised cameo fails to make me laugh or even grin.
The storyline becomes too complicated. Raaj again changes the tone, making it serious, while the Stree jokes try to maintain the humor. I was so tired by this time that I simply wanted the movie to be over. But first, Rajkummar and Triptii had to put up with another speech on how much they should respect women. The movie was really trying my patience at this point.
Vicky Vidya Ka Is Not Right Poor writing is evident throughout the video since the script and narrative are disorganized. Raaj worked hard on the lines, which have their moments, but the poor writing soon comes through and affects Rajkummar’s performance. Despite his best efforts, the picture is hindered by its unimpressive storyline. In contrast, Triptii doesn’t get much screen time. She doesn’t stand out as much as one would think, except from the parts that have already been shown in the teaser.
Vicky and Vidya have shockingly little on-screen chemistry for a movie titled for its main characters. It was difficult for me to support them as a spectator.
In sharp contrast to his performance in Dream Girl, Raaj makes little use of the gifted supporting cast. Rather of allowing them to take center stage, he turns them into comedy circus farces. With their banter, Mallika Sherawat and Vijay Raaz provide some of the most entertaining moments in the movie, whereas Archana Puran Singh and Rakesh Bedi, who portray Triptii’s parents, are only featured in a few sequences. Although Tiku Talsania had greater space, he was also used inefficiently.
Vicky Vidya Ka Is Not Right The video has the vibe of a cross between Priyadarshan-style humor, horror from the Ramsay Brothers, and slapstick from the Govinda period. Although Raaj Shaandilyaa deserves praise for trying something new, the execution is inadequate.
