Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is one of the most anticipated films of 2024, scheduled to release in theaters on October 11, 2024.
The film revolves around a couple, Vicky and Vidya, who record a private video during their honeymoon. However, things take a dramatic turn when the CD containing the video is stolen.
Set against the backdrop of 1997, the movie promises a thrilling ride. However, as its release approaches, rumors have surfaced that this film, starring Rajkumar Rao and Tripti Dimri, is inspired by the Hollywood movie ‘Sex Tape’.
But is there any truth to this speculation? Let’s delve deeper into the comparisons between the two films and find out the truth.
Is Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video a Copy of Sex Tape?
In Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, the story revolves around a couple, Vicky and Vidya, who are influenced by foreign trends and decide to film their honeymoon night.
The unexpected twist arises when their CD, along with the CD player, is stolen. The trailer suggests that Rajkumar Rao’s character might even resort to murder in his frantic search for the CD.
As tension builds, Vidya receives a call from a blackmailer, demanding 2 lakh rupees for the return of the CD. The plot thickens as the couple scrambles to decide their next move.
In comparison, Sex Tape, a Hollywood movie, tells the story of a couple whose sex life has dwindled after having two children.
In an attempt to rekindle the spark in their relationship, they decide to make a sex tape, which accidentally gets leaked. Their son’s friend ends up blackmailing them.
While there are surface-level similarities, such as a couple making a private video and later being blackmailed, the context and narrative arcs are significantly different.
The Director’s Take on the Rumors
Addressing the comparisons, director Raaj Shaandilyaa was quick to clarify, stating, “Someone asked me on Twitter, ‘Is this film like Sex Tape?’ and I responded, ‘There’s no sex in our film.’”
He went on to explain, “In ‘Sex Tape’, their video goes viral on the Internet. However, in our film, the couple loses the CD due to negligence.”
The director further emphasized that Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has a completely different storyline and that any similarity is purely coincidental.
He also revealed that he has never watched ‘Sex Tape’ and was not inspired by it. Instead, Shaandilyaa proudly stated, “I got inspired by life and the people around me.”
While both Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video and Sex Tape feature couples dealing with the fallout of a private video, the similarities end there.
The Indian film offers a fresh narrative with its own unique twists, and any rumors of it being a copy of the Hollywood movie have been firmly denied by the director.
As audiences prepare for its release, it’s clear that Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video stands as an original work, crafted from the director’s personal experiences and observations.
