Get ready for a dose of laughter! The highly anticipated OTT release date for the Bollywood comedy ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video,’ starring Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri, has finally been announced. After a successful theatrical run that saw it triumph over Alia Bhatt’s ‘Jigra,’ the film is set to bring its unique brand of humor to Netflix on December 6th.
The film, co-written and directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and jointly produced by T-Series Films, Balaji Motion Pictures, Wakaoo Films, and Kathavachak Films, hit theaters on October 11th. Despite facing stiff competition from ‘Jigra,’ ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ made a strong opening, collecting a remarkable ₹5.5 crore on its first day – significantly surpassing ‘Jigra’s’ ₹4.25 crore. This initial success was further cemented by a 24.45% increase in earnings on day two, reaching ₹6.9 crore. The film continued its impressive run, grossing ₹6.4 crore on day three, ₹2.4 crore on day four, ₹2.1 crore on day five, ₹1.9 crore on day six, and ₹1.8 crore on day seven. By the end of its first week, ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ had amassed a total of ₹27 crore at the box office, demonstrating its considerable appeal to audiences.
The movie follows the hilarious escapades of Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and Vidya (Tripti Dimri) as they, along with their families, embark on a comical quest to recover their missing ‘suhagraat CD’ in the scenic town of Rishikesh. This light-hearted premise has resonated with many viewers, with social media buzzing with positive feedback describing the film as a ‘laughing riot.’ However, some critics have voiced concerns about the film’s reliance on more traditional humor, prompting debates about the evolution of comedy in Bollywood.
While ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ takes center stage in the OTT release news, December also promises a plethora of other Bollywood titles arriving on streaming platforms. Competitor ‘Jigra,’ along with other films like ‘Maeri’ and ‘Agni,’ are all slated for OTT releases later this month, adding to the exciting lineup of choices for viewers. So mark your calendars for December 6th and prepare for a hearty laugh with ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ on Netflix!
