The much-anticipated film ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ hit theatres on October 11, 2024, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, two of the most talked-about actors in Bollywood today. Fans were excited to see this fresh pairing on screen, expecting a unique and fun ride. However, the film seems to have left many moviegoers disappointed, with audiences sharing their mixed reactions online.
Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film’s trailer initially gave viewers the impression of a lighthearted, humorous movie. But after watching the film, netizens took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their dissatisfaction, calling out the outdated plot and saying that even the talented Rajkummar Rao couldn’t save it.
One user on X pointed out the major issue with the movie’s screenplay, writing, “The main problem is with the screenplay. It feels like they thought of jokes first and then wrote the scenes around them. It falls flat! Set in 1997, but the humour is from the Stone Age. Even Rajkummar Rao couldn’t rescue this one. The only good part was Mallika Sherawat and Vijay Raaz’s song.”
Another user criticized the unnecessary subplots, saying, “A decent story turned into a mess due to too many unnecessary subplots. The jokes are outdated, and the writing feels lazy. Even Stree couldn’t save this bland disaster.”
Some viewers felt that the filmmakers were overconfident, thinking the bold title would be enough to draw people in. One user commented, “Looks like the makers thought the naughty title alone would pull in the audience. The movie’s outdated plot didn’t match up.”

Looks like the makers were too confident that this NAUGHTI movie title itself will pull the audience into the theatres, so just left the movie with this outdated plot…#Vvkwwv pic.twitter.com/MIx5twMQl9
A disappointed viewer also shared, “A decent story turned into a full blown disaster due to several unnecessary sub-plots. The screenplay is a mess of obsolete gags and jokes with lazy writing. Even स्त्री couldn’t save this bland khichdi.”
Another wrote, “Basic flaw in it’s screenplay, Pehle gags aur “comedy” sochi fir scene likha & they fall Flatter than the earth. 1997 me set hai lekin humour stone age ka even Rajkumar Rao couldn’t save this one. Malika & Vijay Raaz ka song aacha tha.

Not all reviews were negative. Some fans enjoyed the performances by Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri, particularly in the first half of the movie.

Total Paisa Vasool for the first half.”
Another positive review praised Rajkummar’s comic timing and Tripti’s attempt at comedy. “Rajkummar Rao, fresh off Stree 2, is great with his one-liners. Tripti Dimri did some comedy too. The supporting cast did well, and some scenes were hilarious. But the weak story and messy climax let it down,” shared a viewer on X.
