A very nice and light headed movie that can be watched with family. I don't know how is it reviewed so low. Great acting by Rajkumar Rao, Tripti Dimri, Mallika sherawat, vijay raaz, tiku talsania and almost everyone in the movie. The movie has a good direction and witty dialogues and keeps the audience engaged throughout the movie. First half of the movie is better filled with humour. Some depth could have been added to Triptii's character which would have enhanced the chemistry between Rajkumar Rao and Triptii Dimri. But overall a good to watch movie with family, friends, colleagues or anyone.
The plot in brief is as follows. During their honeymoon a young couple decides in fun to record their private moments in a video CD. To their bad luck it gets stolen causing embarrassment to all. As a cop starts investigating it sets off a chain of anxious and amusing events. Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri play the couple. The movie itself tries to position itself as a full fledged comic caper and almost succeeds. There are a number of hilarious scenes and amusing gags. All characters are caricatures with varying degrees of craziness. An ensemble of comedians like Rakesh Bedi, Archana Puran Singh, Tiku Tilsania, Mukesh Tiwari,Ashwini Kalsekar and Vijay Raaz go all out to create comic situations which are entertaining no doubt. Vijay Raaz once again plays a crazy cop who investigates the case of the missing CD with laughable results.
Director Raaj Shaandilya has made it an entertaining comedy with no questions to be asked on the credibility of the situations. The characters are over the top, crazy and loud most of the time and there are a few raunchy scenes too. The movie is patterned that way. There are references to songs of the past and there is a remix too with Daler Mehndi. All told it provides escapist entertaininment.

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.

I observed lots of mixed reviews from the audiences as well as from the critics yet went for it because of it's strong starcast and good film makers name associated with it. In simple terms I can consider it as a decent one time watch kind of comedy which is worth watching in my personal view.
The Acting performances of both leading characters were superb and all other supportive characters also played their parts brilliantly. Rajkumar as Vicky is totally suitable for such kind of roles. His way of talking, comic timings and actions while portraying his funky roles were hilarious to watch. Tripti Dimri was damn adorable in this entire movie and played her part decently. Leading character's parents were also hilarious to watch with their funky roles. But The Show Stealer performance was given by Vijay Raj here. Hands down! It was his best work in recent times. His style, action, comic timing and so called romance in this movie definitely outplayed Rajkumar's character for sure. Even his chemistry with Mallika Shehrawat was also damn better than our leading characters.
Storyline of this movie was very short and extremely short forward. 90s songs were very well attached according to the situations but other songs were average in this movie. The runtime is also little bit dragged I guess, I mean in the beginning of this movie they could have been trimmed down the story a little bit. And of course the climax story, Ohh man! That was completely out of plot, they just adjusted it little bit to get mixed with the main plot and of course some unnecessary melodramatic dialogue deliveries, not that suitable for all kind of audiences.
Overall a decent watch, if you want to spend your boring time with a fresh comedy movie. From my side it will be 6 out of 10 Stars for it and I will consider it as 90% safe to watch with family, but beware of some double meaning cringe dialogues and 2/3 soft makeout scene..That's it...

Bollywood should just accept their epic downfall and stop making movies. I had given up on bollywood long ago but I had hoped that if Tripti and Rajkumar are the stars of the movie then there might be something worth watching but how wrong was I. Bollywood stars should consider acting in movie which will enhance the cinematic experiences rather than only focusing on what is going to make them more money or famous because I assure you this will only reduce the audience trust in you. Although in short term these kind of movies will make you famous on reels it won't enhance your image at all. I feel bad for my wallet and time which got wasted on this movie. If movies with bad plotlines and torturing songs are made then at least have a good comic timing. Sitting in the theatre and eating overpriced tasteless nachos while watching this ridiculous movies was a pure torture.

This inclusion led to the director, Raaj Shaandilyaa, having to issue an apology to the creators of Stree for the unauthorised use of the character. Furthermore the scene was deleted for the home video release of the film.
- GoofsEvents in the movie occur during 1997/98. However some of the songs used in background are from movies released in the 2000s. For example the song Ishq Samundar is from Kaante (2002) and Khoobsurat's (1999) song Mein Chaand Hoga is playing in the wedding scene.
