It's time for the Veeres to celebrate! The day one collection of Veere Di Wedding is out and the film has collected Rs 10. 70 crore! Isn't that amazing? The official figures were shared by Ekta Kapoor on Twitter. "We have just got d nos hot out of the oven! The all india box office total for #VeerediWedding is 10.70crores on day one!!!," she tweeted to all the 'condescending industry uncles who nagged her for making a film with four girls.
In a previous tweet, Ekta mentioned how she was demotivated by some people from the industry for making a film without heroes in them. "To all d condescending old industry uncles ! Tracking agencies n trade gurus who patted my back with ‘ u can open at even 4 cr’ ‘Gaana chal gaya par ladkiyo wali film nahi khulti ‘ verrrry soon I’ll tweet some news to u!!!! Wait till 11 am," ekta had tweeted a while back.

It is indeed delightful to see Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Shikha Talsania and Swara Bhasker starrer Veere Di Wedding open to such great numbers at the ticket windows. In case you have been contemplating whether the film is worth your penny, take a look at what LatestLY movie reviewer Sreeju Sudhakaran has to say about the film and the performances of actors. "Kareena Kapoor Khan is a delight to watch in VDW, being the pivot of the story. At times, she channels Meryl Streep in her expressions, but overall, she is very likeable. Swara Bhasker's track may not appeal to many (though I loved how it concluded), but the actress is an absolute hoot as the Delhi girl who loves her drinks and abuses. The debutante Shikha Talsania gives a confident performance, though even her track needed better writing. Sonam Kapoor, surprisingly, feels the kamzor kadi in the gang, with the weakest storyline but makes most of it with her cherubic expressions. Veere Di Wedding is a very good-looking movie, with some moments that will charm you and others that will shock you. The girl gang display amazing chemistry and you are hooked onto their bonding scenes. With a better script and direction, Veere Di Wedding would have been a real game-changer. In the end, it is a harmless entertainer that won't bore your pants off, for sure!"
