Veere Di Wedding box office collection day 4: Kareena Kapoor-Sonam Kapoor starrer earns Rs 42.56 crore

Veere Di Wedding box office
The ‘not a chick flick’ Veere Di Wedding surprised everyone when it opened at a whopping Rs 10.70 crore and the film has continued to maintain its momentum at the box office. On Monday, the film earned Rs 6.04 crore, taking it total collection to Rs 42.56 crore. Without much competition at the ticket counters, one can expect that the film will earn big bucks in the coming week as well.
Starring Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania, the Shashanka Ghosh directorial is a story of four friends who reunite when Kalindi (Kareena) decides to get married. The makers have promoted this film as the story of friends who just happen to be women and not a tale that deals with women’s issues. Set primarily in Delhi, the film’s backdrop of a wedding gives the audience a celebratory ride that’s high on emotions.
Film trade analyst Girish Johar had earlier told indianexpress.com, “We have seen how Bollywood fans are now receptive to female-centric films like Raazi, Queen or Padmaavat for that matter. As long as good content is involved, the film is bound to do good.”
Veere Di Wedding has already added itself to the list of top 5 openers at the box office where it is in company with films like Baaghi 2 and Padmaavat. Veere Di Wedding released alongside Bhavesh Joshi Superhero and as per Bollywood Hungama, the Harshvardhan Kapoor starrer opened at Rs 30 lakh.
With only these two new Hindi releases at the theatres, it can be expected that Veere Di Wedding will have a gala time at the box office through the week as well.
Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta in her review of Veere Di Wedding wrote, “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. ‘Shaadi toh foundation hai “jhagde ki’, says a character, and I found myself chuckling. As did many people around me.”

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Dhadak review: There is no ‘dhak dhak’ in this Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter starrer

Dhadak movie cast:  Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Kharaj Mukherjee, Aditya Kumar Dhadak movie director:  Shashank Khaitan Dhadak movie rating:  One and a half stars Remaking Sairat for mainstream Bollywood was always going to be a tough ask. The edges of that searing 2016 tale of love-in-the-time-of-caste were necessarily going to have to be blunted and softened, because too much ‘realism’ is hard for us to handle. There isn’t a filmmaker working in India who can match Sairat director Nagraj Manjule’s appetite for recreating raw slap-in-the-face directness for the screen: the only one who can match him is Sanal Sashidharan, and neither of them work, for obvious reasons, in Bollywood, where dirt needs to be proffered up in pretty ribbons. What I was expecting from this  Karan Johar  production, I got– a polish-up-the-muck aesthetic to make it palatable for mainstream audiences. What I didn’t get, was feeling. That sense of playfulness ...
