Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and Vidya (Tripti Dimri) are an attractive couple living in Rishikesh, who get married in 1997 after a whirlwind romance. Eager to capture the magic of their Goa honeymoon, they decided to record a personal video as a memento. Filled with love and anticipation, they set up the camera and share intimate moments, trusting that this memory will be a cherished treasure in years to come. However, their plans take a shocking turn when the CD containing their precious videos is stolen under mysterious circumstances. As they search for the lost memento, they find themselves embroiled in a series of comical misadventures. With friends, family and even strangers becoming unwitting partners in their quest, Vicky and Vidya face misunderstandings and unexpected revelations about trust, love and the power of memories. As the couple races against time to recover their stolen moment, they discover that the importance of their relationship is much more than a recording. Will they get their precious video back before it falls into the wrong hands, or will they realize that the true essence of their love cannot be captured on film?

Director Raaj Shaandilyaa, who has also written the film, has tried to do a lot of things in it. It starts off as a cornball comedy, then it becomes a comic mystery caper, then it turns into paranormal comedy and then finally, it stands up for women’s safety. The director believes in making everything top notch. So there are no specifics involved in anything. The sex film racket, which later becomes the talking point of the film, is exposed through a serious segment where the villain shouts stop it, and that is our sentiment. A sequel to the film has been made, so audiences should stay tuned for the further adventures of Vicky and Vidya.

Mallika Sherawat is making a comeback of sorts with this film. To accommodate her oomph and charm, there is an extended track that includes a dreamy romance between her and Vijay Raaz. He plays the role of an inspector who is completely infatuated with her and romances her in his imagination to the tune of Kumar Sanu’s hit songs. The sequence has all the hallmarks of low brow humour. Tiku Talsania plays a grandfather who is obsessed with his family sword. This is a good angle that needs more research. Rakesh Bedi and Archana Puran Singh play Trupti’s parents. Archana is shown to be addicted to pan masala while Bedi is her considerate husband. Mukesh Tiwari plays the role of a politician who likes to organize mass marriages. Random characters, such as a thief who likes to live at large, Sunil Shetty’s lookalikes named Sunil and Shetty, and his boss Ashwini Kalsekar appear randomly. The basic idea is to make the audience laugh in any way possible.

As said earlier, we feel writer-director Raaj Shandilya missed what he really wanted to create. The film would have been better if he had stuck to just one comedy sub-genre. It starts off with a great premise but then loses its power. The length of the film is another issue. This should have been a great two hours of comedy. The film’s gags have the feel of Instagram Reels. The humor is entirely juvenile and designed to cater to the lowest common denominator.

What works in the film is the funny dialogues. The play on words is spot on and produces a smile in most places. In particular, Vijay Raaz enjoys delivering cliched lines. She is in her element here and so is Mallika Sherawat, who uses her comic timing and makes sure we know there is more to her than just the sex symbol tag. Trupti and Rajkumar make an unlikely pair. They have a definite chemistry and are good in their scenes together, especially near the end, which is set in a graveyard. However, both are known for their subtle, nuanced approach to acting, which is definitely not the case here. They are so professional that they can even go into opposite genres and have played their respective roles with 100 percent commitment.
