In his review for NDTV, Raja Sen gave Veere Di Wedding 3.5 out of 5 stars. "Veere Di Wedding, an all-girl ensemble comedy directed by Shashanka Ghosh and written by Nidhi Mehra and Mehul Suri, subverts the usual and the expected at many a bend. It starts out as a buddy film set in the familiar band baaja baroque world of a Delhi wedding, but there is more to this film than initially meets the eye, and certainly more to these ladies than meets the guys. This is a film that rolls its eyes at 'happily ever after.' It knows weddings are hard, marriages take work, and that, occasionally, pampered princes need to be knocked off the moon-shaped thrones picked out by their mothers.," he wrote.

At the box office, Veere Di Wedding clashed with Harshvardhan Kapoor's Bhavesh Joshi Superhero. Though the aforementioned films belong to two different genres, it is being speculated that Veere Di Wedding might just prove to be fatal for the dark comedy drama, Bhavesh Joshi. Besides, John Abraham's Parmanu: The Story Of Pokharan has been affected by the release of two well anticipated films. But it is expected that Parmanu will "gather momentum" on the weekend yet again.
 

#Parmanu gets affected by #VeereDiWedding wave and also the Punjabi biggie #CarryOnJatta2 [in North India]... Should gather momentum, yet again, on Sat and Sun, since the film has been immensely appreciated... [Week 2] Fri 2.05 cr. Total: Rs 37.46 cr. India biz.
