Vicky and Vidya, newly married, decide to record a video of their first night together as a keepsake for the future. However, their plan goes awry when the CD with the video gets stolen. What follows is a chaotic and comedic journey as the couple scrambles to retrieve it before things spiral out of control.

Critic Consensus

Critical consensus on Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is overwhelmingly negative, with reviewers finding the film to be a poorly executed comedy that fails to deliver on its premise. The writing and screenplay were widely condemned as weak, unfocused, and desperate in its attempts at humour, with critics noting the wordplay and slapstick consistently missing the mark. Several critics pointed to a jarring tonal inconsistency, particularly in the climax, while the 1990s setting was seen by some as an arbitrary and underutilised choice. Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri's lack of on-screen chemistry was also flagged, and the film's ambition to attempt something different was acknowledged by at least one reviewer, though the execution was deemed a clear failure.

An Ungainly Mess That Sways Between The Absurd And Asinine

It tries too hard to be funny, nostalgic (90’s songs are inserted repeatedly) and moralistic but the climax gets way too bizarre for your liking. The film suddenly shifts gear and gets into an activism mode before resorting to horror comedy. Two mimics parading as Suniel Shetty serve as the final nail in the coffin.

Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is a throwback to 90s comedy, but it delivers diminishing returns with outdated humour and missed opportunities.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 suffers from weak writing, with the plot and screenplay all over the place. For a film named after its lead characters, there's surprisingly little chemistry between Vicky and Vidya on-screen. While kudos to Raaj Shaandilyaa for attempting something different, the execution falls short.

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

The film has no reason to exist in the 90s. It could be a film about a couple whose video goes viral on social media. But then, the makers felt hunting for a CD would make for a far more entertaining crowd pleaser

3.0
Between tons of sexual innuendo and Kapil Sharma brand of slapstick gags characterised in loud caricatures, moronic behaviour, flimsy wigs and cartoonish rhythm, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video's jarring notions of exuberance have nothing novel to offer. Problem is the humour is not just pedestrian, it's also plain unfunny.

Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri can't save this disaster ruined by weak script. The film fails to deliver on its premise, with the philosophical irony being that what seemed promising turns out to be disappointingly hollow.

However, Shandilya tends to reduce storytelling to a joke. He becomes so desperate for wordplay and turn of phrase that the basic emotion of the theme gets compromised... This desperation to tickle becomes the undoing of VVKWWV, eventually reducing it to a long title with a short shelf life.
