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.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
