Veere Di Wedding: Kareena Kapoor Khan-Sonam Kapoor starrer becomes the 3rd highest opener of 2018

Veere Di Wedding, starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonam Kapoor (now Sonam K Ahuja), Swara Bhasker and Shikha Talsania in the leads, has finally hit the theatres this Friday. The film, which claims to be not 'not a chick flick' has opened to pretty good numbers in the morning shows on the first day of its release. In fact, Veere Di Wedding has now become the third highest opener of the year so far, after Baaghi 2 and Padmaavat. 

With an occupancy of abour 33% in the morning shows, the movie's opening is said to be better than that of films like Akshay Kumar's Pad Man, Ajay Devgn's Raid, Varun Dhawan's October and John Abraham's Parmanu - The Story of Pokhran, which were led by strong male protagonists. 

Celebrating the spirit of the modern day Indian woman and above all friendship , Veere Di Wedding had cash registers ringing at the box office on its opening day, registering excellent occupancy during early shows.The entertainer  already has the critics, trade and the industry raving and the positive word of mouth has worked in favour of the film, which registered a morning occupancy of 33%.

This makes Veere Di Wedding the third highest opener this year after Tiger Shroff's Baaghi 2 and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat. 
 
Trade gurus comment that this is a huge feat for the film to achieve, especially since the film is not headlined by a male star. Already a game changer in more ways than one, it is for the very first time in Indian cinema that contemporary, A-list leading ladies come together to frontline a film.
