Woo, Veere Di Wedding! We’ve been talking about seeing it for weeks and weeks and somehow never got around to it. But today is the day! I am excited!
Veere Di Wedding! Only available on einthusan! And also, surprisingly short! We won’t be doing an interval or anything like that, just plowing straight through. I am really looking forward to seeing this one with all of you.
At 3pm, I will hit play and start commenting on this post, and you all can join in with your own comments. Yaaaaay!
Sweet my kids left the room and missed all the F#$% bombs.

Kareena must be so glad that they live in a different country from his family, most of the time.

Yeah, that family is A LOT. And very different from hers, with all the priest and rituals and stuff.

I don’t know why but I hate when people call each other Jaan (life). It just weirds me out.
LikeLike
Jaanu – the term of endearment I hear all the time, is that related to Jaan (life)?
LikeLike
It is. It’s sort of like baby vs. babe. Jaan actually means life and jannu is the babe version of jaan.

I am missing something on this character, why is Sonam turning her nose up at him? He’s cute, he’s rich. Is it that he is too local or something? Filmikudhi?

too eager?

I think so. I am not sure about college rankings in India. But yes, it seems like his credentials are not as impressive as hers and he seems too local.

White Husband! I honestly can’t think of another Indian movie that, as a casual thing, showed a woman immediately calling her husband when she started feeling sad, because of course she wants to talk to him if she is sad.

I do love how this whole film skewers the “happiest day of your life” trope about weddings. I guess it is a trope in India as well as the U.S.
LikeLike
Oh yeah! And the wedding industrial complex is way way more of a thing. You spend your whole life going to fantastical weddings from other people’s families, and then have to spend all your savings and borrow money to throw an equal wedding for your kids. And Delhi wedding culture is supposed to be the biggest of them all. The couple getting married is the least important part of it.

So – you grow up speaking Hindi, but the only word you know for Orgasm is English. I guess Hindi speaking women don’t speak about orgasms?

I speak Hindi pretty darn fluently and I learned the Hindi word for it during this movie.

So it just never came up in conversation?

I don’t really have any Indian friends who I speak Hindi to so maybe it would have but in general I think even in India when it does, people just say orgasm. I don’t know that work in any of the Indian languages I know.

If they translated it right, 35 million rupees is half a million dollars. So I can kind of see why Swara’s parents are a bit bitter about the wedding not working out.
