Director Raaj Shaandilyaa had to finally speak up on the allegations of copying ideas from Sex Tape. You must be aware that Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri starrer “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video” released its trailer. It is a decent trailer that reminds us of pre-COVID era comedies when small films used to do wonders at the box office.
Well, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video talks about a 90s couple who filmed their Suhag Raat and their sex tape gets leaked. The whole hassle and the film is about the couple trying to get that CD and not let their reputation go.
But whatever happens is something we would know only in the film.
There are some allegations that the movie is copied from the Hollywood comedy “Sex Tape” which had a similar premise. Although the details of the events that occur in the film are entirely different, the idea of a sex tape of a couple getting leaked is similar in both the movies.
The director has discarded all the claims and even as audiences we should not be too quick to pass judgements. There is nothing truly original in the world. Just because the logline of the film is similar doesn’t guarantee that the film is copied from Sex Tape after all, what works in Hollywood is very hard to work in India until or unless it is Marvel or something of that magnitude.
The trailer is kinda okay, let’s wait for more.
