Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Movie Review: Remember the 90s playlist, the wedding videos we now call ‘cringe,’ the hiding of relationships from parents, the pretence to hate each other in front of others… well Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is a true mixture of all this. This film is a nostalgia kick for all the 90s kids with Kumar Sanu’s songs working like icing on the cake.
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video Movie Review: Plot
Rajkummar Rao plays Vicky, a local henna artist of Rishikesh (back then it was Uttar Pradesh) and he is in love with Triptii Dimri aka Vidya, a doctor. His successful attempt to break Vidya's engagement with a lawyer Bittoo is worth lauding and the punchlines are cherry on top.
The film has a true 90s feel with the two getting married in a samuhik vivah and then getting the wedding video made just like old times. Attention to detail is so beautiful that even Triptii’s makeup and jewelry in the film will give nostalgia. As the couple ties the knot, they receive a honeymoon package to Vaishno Devi from the girl’s father which they turn into a romantic getaway to Goa.
