On Thursday, the makers of Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri-starrer 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' dropped the trailer and it promises a "97% paarivaarik" movie with its story set in the late 1990s when the cassettes started phasing out and the CDs entered the Indian market.
The over-three-minutes-long trailer begins with the lead characters, Vicky played by Rajkummar and Vidya essayed by Triptii Dimri deciding to film their first night as a souvenir as the actor's character says: "Vidya, yeh angrez log apna suhaag raat ka video bana lete hai aur fir usse budhaape tak dekhte rehte hai. Tabhi toh dekho kitne khush rehte hai."
It all seems ok until the CD, on which they stored their video, gets stolen along with the CD player. There's chaos when cops are called to search for the missing CD player. And when the cops fail to find the missing CD, Vicky's family gets a call asking ransom for the CD in return.
The trailer also features Mallika Sherawat, Shehnaaz Gill, Vijay Raaz, Mukesh Tiwari, among others. Rajkumar Rao's hairdo is a hat tip to that of peak Mithun Chakraborty from the 1990s.
The trailer also has shades of "Stree", pop-culture references like Mukesh Tiwari's iconic line "Jaldi bol, chuckle-worthy lines like "paiso ki kami nahi hai mujhe. kisi se bhi udhaar lelunga" and "kandhe pe mehendi lagaayi hai" and even a glimpse of Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi grooving to the revamped version of the 1997 track 'Na Na Na Re'.
The film has largely been shot in Rishikesh and was wrapped in April 2024. The film is directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, who has to his credit the Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer 'Dream Girl' and its sequel 'Dream Girl 2'. This is Triptii's second film after the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Animal'. Earlier, her 'Bad Newz' turned out to be a hit, and now 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' seems all set to bring her a hattrick. Rajkummar, too, seems to be in good fettle, fresh off the biggest success of his career in the form of 'Stree 2'.
A T-Series production in association with Balaji Motion Pictures, Wakaoo Films, and Kathavachak Films, 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video' is scheduled to release theatrically on October 11, 2024.
