As long as good content is involved, the film is bound to do good. From the looks of it, the film is a fun, rib-tickling comedy and it will cater to an audience just looking to have a good time at the theatres,” he said. Veere Di Wedding got a positive review from Indian Express’ film critic Shubhra Gupta. In her review, she noted, “Net net, Veere Di Wedding is a fun ride, which squeezes past its creaky tropes and partial squelchiness by some smart casting choices, and perky performances. And lines which connect. ‘Shaadi toh foundation hai jhagde ki’, says a character, and I found myself chuckling. As did many people around me.” Also Read | Veere Di Wedding movie review Both Kareena Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor are bankable actors and it would be interesting to see whether they can lure in a large number of moviegoers. The reviews are so far very good, but it would be the word-of-mouth that really counts. If the film is successful in making the audience laugh or affect them in a positive way, the film would rule the box office for this week.<doc-sep>
Veere Di Wedding Director: Shashanka Ghosh Cast: Sonam Kapoor AHuja, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Swara Bhaskar, Shikha Talsania, Sumeet Vyas Rating: 2/5 What are your expectations from a film starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Sonam Kapoor? The general assumption would be a fashion extravaganza that is shot in beautiful locales and has attitude and sass to spare. Veere Di Wedding is all of these things -- it is also outrageous, gratingly loud and unnecessarily abusive – but what it is not, is entertaining. Credit, however, is due to writers for choosing the characters that they have - a gay couple living in south Delhi that is looking for acceptance, a woman dealing with divorce, another one who is under pressure to get married, a commitment-phobic woman who is all set to get married and a woman beset with weight issues and an estranged father. In theory, Veere Di Wedding is about accepting everyone the way they are; only if its execution could have carried off its lofty ideals. The plot forces characters to stay on two modes largely – highly emotional and ready to have fun. Yes, women like to drink, abuse and have active sex lives but there is so much more to being a modern-day independent woman. This movie would have you believe that marriage is stupid, friendship is the only saving grace and cigarettes are stress-busters. We all may have believed that, perhaps in college, but we outgrew it all in teenage. Watch: Reviews of Veere Di Wedding and Bhavesh Joshi Superhero The film’s team was at pains to say that Veere Di Wedding didn’t resemble Sex And The City but the similarities are hard to ignore. The veeres take impromptu ‘honeymoon trip’ to Phuket, a lot like Carrie and her friends heading to Mexico after her wedding goes wrong. Swara, quite shockingly, is over-the-top as a south Delhi babe and Sonam’s character impresses in parts. Shikha and Kareena’s characters are the only ones among these Veeres who are relatable. Sumeet does what he does best – play a cute, understanding guy who does not care much about rituals but cannot say no to his family. In its own subtle way, Veere Di Wedding also tries to subvert the male dominant stereotype but these moments are so few and far between that you almost miss the point. It may be a buddy comedy but it is not among the best in the genre, not even top five. Interact with the author @swetakaushal Follow @htshowbiz for more ott:10:ht-entertainment_listing-desktop
