An Ungainly Mess That Sways Between The Absurd And Asinine

A wholly unexpected turn of events in the holy town of Rishikesh sparks an unholy whirligig in Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, a slapdash comic romp about a newly-married late 1990s couple sent on a wild goose chase after a CD with a video recording of their suhaag raat vanishes without a trace.

It is never in with a realistic chance of making it out...
