Veere Di Wedding, a film bankrolled by women (Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor) and spearheaded by women (Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania) is breaking box office records.

Within five days of its release, Veere Di Wedding has minted Rs 48.03 crore. On Tuesday the film added Rs 5.47 crore to its kitty.

Veere Di Wedding has been receiving a mixed response from moviegoers. While for some its just a celebration of friendship, for others, the film is nothing but a promotion of brands. Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta has called the movie a “fun ride”. In her review, Shubhra has written, “Veere Di Wedding is a fun ride, which squeezes past its creaky tropes and partial squelchiness by some smart casting choices, and perky performances. And lines which connect.”
