Four
friends
dealing
with
life,
love,
marriage,
and
heartbreak.
Haven't
this
concept
been
explored
on
the
big
screen
before?
But
what
makes
Shashank
Ghosh's
latest
outing
'Veere
Di
Wedding' alluring
is
that
this
time
it's
four
women
spearheading
a
film.
A
word
of
caution
here
though
-
those
on
heavy
doses
of
'Sex
&
The
City'
might
find
this
#NotAChickFlick
a
tad
bland
for
their
taste
buds.
But
then
there's
enough
gloss,
gal-pal
bonding,
and
picturesque
location
to
keep
you
invested
for
2
hours
and
5
minutes.
Veere
Di
Wedding
begins
with
four
teen
girls
popping
the
bubbly
and
indulging
in
some
locker
room
talks
post
wrapping
up
their
final
exams.
A
decade
later,
we
get
a
sneak-peek
into
their
adulthood.
Kalindi
(Kareena
Kapoor
Khan)
is
a
commitment-phobe;
blame
it
on
a
broken
home,
Avni
(Sonam
Kapoor)
is
a
divorce
lawyer
whose
mother
keeps
nagging
her
to
get
married.
Sakshi
(Swara
Bhaskar),
a
stinky
rich
girl
whose
marriage
is
in
shambles
and
Meera
(Shikha
Talsania)
whose
'Bade
Papa' severs
ties
with
her
after
she
gets
married
to
a
firang.
Things
take
a
drastic
turn
when
Kalindi's
boyfriend
Rishabh
(Sumeet
Vyas)
goes
down
on
his
knees
and
proposes
marriage
to
her.
Kalindi
initially
hesitates
but
later
gives
in
and
agrees
to
get
hitched.
From
Bondi
in
Australia,
she
finds
herself
disappearing
beneath
piles
of
Banarasi
sarees
and
West
Delhi
'Malhotra'
jewellery
and
struggling
to
get
into
her
'fairy-princess'
gown
for
her
roka.
Thankfully,
she
has
besties
aka
'Veeres'
by
her
side.
However,
their
happiness
is
shortlived
when
a
'siyappa'
causes
Kalindi
to
call
off
her
marriage.
Soon,
the
four
'Veeres'
zoom
off
to
Phuket
to
relive
their
fond
memories
and
rethink
before
taking
the
most
important
decision
in
their
lives.
Shashanka
Ghosh
needs
to
be
given
a
pat
on
his
back
for
narrating
a
story
that
Bollywood
deserved
since
a
long
time.
What
makes
the
women
in
this
film
special
ain't
the
sex-talk
and
profound
swearing.
Instead,
it's
the
scars
of
their
mistakes
that
they
proudly
choose
to
flaunt
like
badges
of
honour.
The
society
won't
label
them
'pious'
but
that
doesn't
stop
them
from
following
their
hearts
when
it
comes
to
matters
of
love
and
lust.
On
the
flipside,
a
little
more
characterization
in
the
four
protagonist's
role
would
have
made
it
more
fun.
The
hilarious
moments
are
scattered
throughout
leaving
you
craving.
Further,
the
blatant
attempts
at
plugging
product
placements
in
the
film
come
across
as
unintentionally
hilarious.
Speaking
about
the
performances,
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
leads
the
pack
and
is
bestowed
with
a
meatier
role
than
the
rest.
Sonam
Kapoor
gets
her
moments
of
shine
even
if
they
are
few.
The
scene
where
Swara
Bhaskar
reveals
her
'intimate
apna
haath
jagan
naath'
moment
to
her
friend
and
later
to
her
family
is
a
total
killer.
Shikha
Talsania
is
all
hearts
and
packs
a
punch.
The
ever-dependable
Sumeet
Vyas
too
puts
up
a
satisfying
show.
While
the
first
half
moves
at
a
quick
pace,
the
dramatic
twists
in
the
second
half
look
saccharine
until
Ghosh
holds
his
directorial
reins
tight
again
towards
the
climax.
The
editing
and
the
cinematography
work
in
the
favour.
Most
of
the
songs
are
hummable
and
don't
jar
the
narrative.
In
a
nutshell,
Veere
Di
Wedding
is
easy
on
eyes.
From
the
times
where
the
heroine
was
always
supposed
to
be
Ms.
Two
Goody-Shoes
who
abstained
from
getting
between
the
sheets
before
marriage
to
women
now
being
shown
inhibited
when
it
comes
to
their
life,
sexuality,
and
desires,
Bollywood
has
come
a
long
way.
Despite
its
set
of
flaws,
a
trip
to
this
wedding
will
keep
you
entertained
for
most
of
the
time.
I
am
going
with
2.5
stars.
