Veere Di Wedding

Movie Review (Hindi)


How so many people spend so much time and come up with so much crap is beyond me. The producers and the director and the actors actually thought they were doing a great job by doling out such regression?

Some call this a coming of age movie!! Besides a couple of shots with the young girls there is nothing that gives us a peek into their stories. After that the four ladies take over and then the over loud, over dressed, over everything, occupies the screen. Thankfully, the movie deals with the super-rich class and so we can watch the frivolousness with amusement. 


For me the movie was regressive because in trying to show girl power the story blatantly shows how foolish and how lost these women are without men around and lost women will resort to drinking and cursing at all times.


On the other hand, this very cast with a story of some sort and a director with more understanding of women’s emotions (really difficult) could have turned out to be a thoughtful movie really worth the time spent on watching it.

I cannot understand why someone like Anjum Rajabali would want to take up a role here.

A call to all the Veeres - Swara, Kareena, Sonam and Shikha --- Kindly take the time to present a movie that truly expresses what women have to go though while dealing with emotional upheavals. Each one of you has the potential to do that. But do you want to?
