The newly-released trailer for Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has sparked excitement among fans, offering a glimpse into an unconventional comedy. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film features Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri in lead roles and promises a unique storyline not often seen in Hindi cinema. However, the film’s premise has drawn comparisons to a Hollywood movie with a similar theme.
While the plot of Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is new to Bollywood, it bears a striking resemblance to the 2014 Hollywood romantic comedy Sex Tape. In the Jake Kasdan-directed film, Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel star as a married couple, Annie and Jay, whose self-recorded sex tape accidentally goes missing, causing panic and embarrassment. Much of the comedy in Sex Tape revolves around the couple’s efforts to retrieve the lost tape.
Although both films share a similar central concept, there are distinct differences between them. In Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri play newlyweds whose honeymoon sex tape gets stolen or lost. The plot focuses on their desperate attempts to recover the tape amidst a comedic backdrop. On the other hand, in Sex Tape, Annie and Jay is a long-married couple with two children. Their tape is an attempt to reignite the spark in their relationship after years of marriage.
While Sex Tape was co-written by Jason Segel, Kate Angelo, and Nicholas Stoller, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video takes a more desi approach, highlighting the chaotic dynamics of an Indian family dealing with the fallout of a missing “suhagraat CD.”
The trailer, released on Thursday, introduces viewers to the scenic town of Rishikesh, where the story unfolds. The comedic journey of Vicky and Vidya, along with their family, as they try to recover the missing tape promises plenty of laughs. The trailer hints at the unique blend of situational comedy and family drama that Raaj Shaandilyaa is known for.
