Before anything, I would like to say "It is not always about the destination but the journey you take to get there." This statement holds quite true for this week's #I_am_not_a_chick_flick Veere Di Wedding. You know where the film is headed but despite this, you want to invest yourself in this journey of these 4 friends who seek out for happiness and joy.
Out of the 4 Veeres, it is Swara Bhaskar's Sakshi who rocks it with her earnest performance and excellently portrays her role of an ill-mouthed rich girl. Following her is Kalindi Puri aka Kareena who makes a 'take notice' comeback to the film industry!! Then comes our Meera played by Shikha Talsania who keeps the flow of Swara's Sakshi going and plays the role of a loud-mouthed Punjabi girl as well. Sadly but true, Mrs Ahuja's Avni, a matrimonial lawyer is the weakest link in the acting department. At times, Avni goes a little overboard in her expressions but it doesn't matter as the gags, dialogues are hilarious to overlook her follies. The bromance between our Veeres is exceedingly good but Kalindi and her fiance Rishab's chemistry fails to generate sparks. Sumeet Vyas, Ayesha Raza, Manoj Pahwa, Vishwas Kini and Neena Gupta do an excellent bit in their supporting roles.
Director Shashanka Ghosh helms the movie exceedingly well in an entertaining, engaging first half but loses the grip A BIT in the second half. The story is nothing extraordinary but has some extra attention paid to Kalindi Puri. The dialogues are cuss, double meaning yet hilarious. The cinematography is well done, the editing is a bit of a problem but the styling and music are on point with 'Aa Jao Na' and of course 'Tareefan' being my favourites. The movie is well made, well -acted and an enjoyable affair this weekend. I am not sure whether this movie is going to appeal to the middle-aged but should certainly be watched by today's youth who need to understand the difference between friendship and acquaintance!
What really impressed me the most in Veerey Di Wedding is not its Bold, unapologetic nature but the fact that it was NOT at any point trying to be a Feministic watch. Instead, it played well by not going the feminist way otherwise it would've been a bore. Initially, I was dwindling between 3.5-4 stars for this movie but I think settling for a 3.5/5 would be a sound bet. Go watch it for some pure fun but be warned of the slightly loose second half. Business should be around 55-60 crores! Hit.
NOTE: A lot of 'How u feel about this movie' depends on the people you watch it with! As for me, watching it with friends was fun.
P.S. This movie will be best if watched with your Veeres!!!!And girls, you have a lot to take away from this movie.
