Film review : Veere Di Wedding



Veere Di Wedding........a girls' buddy flick, which is an uncommon choice for a hindi film and the producers have upped their bet, by not signing a mainstream hero. Kareena Kapoor plays Kalindi, who's in a steady relationship with Sumit Vyas' Rishabh. Rishabh proposes marriage and all hell breaks loose for the commitment phobic Kalindi. Enter her 3 friends who have enough problems of their own, and you have a recipe for a lot of smoking, drinking, swearing, sex jokes and a trip to phuket by the gang of four. Get the drift?
It's a breezy ride while it lasts and  you don't care for any character in particular. Everyone in the film is rich, wears designer clothes, drives swanky cars and all transactions happen in crores. There is even a joke thrown in about someone being below the poverty line :(
Swara Bhasker's Sakshi gets to say the best and most fun lines in the film. Sumut Vyas puts in a very restrained performance and brings conviction to his part. A special word on Sonam Kapoor' acting : If you have ever acted in a school play, trust me, you won't have done much worse than her. Alas, I'm sure, neither is your sister a film producer, nor is your father a successful film hero :) So, your acting ambitions will have to take a backseat unlike Sonam's.

Ending note: The only relationship that seems to work in the film is a same sex one 😂


If you have time to kill over the weekend, go and watch this one. You will have fun and that's about it.
