The ensemble consisting of such powerful comic artists elevates the experience of the film. Almost every scene has a comic punch and while it doesn't always land, atleast the absurdness of the situation gets you to chuckle a bit. The drama in the climax is well staged and it hits the right notes. If the climax and post climax scenes fell flat, the film would too. Luckily, that doesn't happen as Raaj Shaandilyaa is in total control. The songs, few new and few recreated, are all thoroughly enjoyable. Couple of the songs don't really take the story forward but they still work on an individual level.

Yes, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video is heavily inspired. A film that it has directly drawn inspiration from is S*xtape. But everything built around the core conflict is what makes Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video the very likeable and credible film that has turned out to be.
