In his review for NDTV, Raja Sen gave Veere Di Wedding 3.5 out of 5 stars. "The writing is assured and nuanced, with telling details about these girls, their men, and their families. After a while as the over-the-top background sounds settle - or we get used to them - the film's cleverness becomes apparent. Veere Di Wedding lands several blows to the patriarchy while never giving up its masala entertainer roots. It is the kind of film that needs to work because of what it says," wrote Raja Sen.

Veere Di Wedding ranks at number 5 in the list of top five opening weekend films of 2018:

Veere Di Wedding opened at the box office with Harshvardhan Kapoor's Bhavesh Joshi Superhero. Vo-produced by Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, Veere Di Wedding proved fatal for Bhavesh Joshi as it failed to make its presence felt amongst the audience. Though the genres of the aforementioned films are totally different, the business of Bhavesh Joshi Superhero suffered massively because of Veere Di Wedding.

With Rajinikanth's Kaala releasing this Friday, the box office collection of Veere Di Wedding might be affected given the kind of hype around the film. The story of Kaala centres around a Dharavi-based gangster, who has his roots in Tamil Nadu's Tirunelveli district.
