Apparently, Veere Di Wedding is one of the few buddy comedy films, which has actually performed according to the expectations of the trade pundits.

Considering the fact that the film is an out and out a chick flick, a rare genre in Bollywood, and the comeback of Kareena after two years, the film has certainly hit the bullseye if box office numbers are to be considered.

‘Veere…’ also emerged victorious in the first box office clash of 2018 by performing far better than the vigilante action dram Bhavesh Joshi Superhero, which starred Sonam’s brother Harshvardhan Kapoor in the titular role.

After having one of the best opening weekends of 2018, it will be interesting to see how the film will fare on from this point as the next two weeks are crucial for the film’s lifetime collections before the much awaited Race 3 makes its way to the big screen on June 15.

Directed by Shashank Ghosh, Veere Di Wedding also stars Swara Bhasker, Shikha Talsania and Sumeet Vyas alongside Kareena and Sonam. The film was released worldwide on June 1.
