Excited about the film's response, Sonam K Ahuja took to Instagram and captioned it, 'Veere Di Wedding' opens to 10.70 Crores on day 1! Third highest opener this year for a film without a hero and an adult rating! Clearly the future is female! : Farhan Akhtar also gave a shout-out to the Veeres.
There are heroes in this film. They are female. It’s unfortunate that the word ‘hero’ evolved to be masculine given that it’s actually gender neutral.

p>DNA AfterHrs Veere Di Wedding movie review reads: "It's being hailed as a female buddy flick and the girls are open about drinking, having flings and discussing sex, which by and large is taboo in our films, so it's brave in that sense. But it has nothing to do with women empowerment"
