Friday Watchalong: Veere Di Wedding! 4pm Chicago Time!!!

Posted on June 11, 2021 by mredlich21

Yaaaay!!! And also “boo, einthusan”. This is a week where you really have to wait for me to say “and play” because sometimes it is hinky.

I love love love this movie! And it is Sonam and it is queer friendly, so perfect for Pride/Sonam birthday week

I’ll put up an “and play” comment at 4 (or soon after, Gods of streaming be with me) and you can all start commenting along!

This is another example of movies where some Indians born in India are not fans. I had a friend tell me this movie was horrible. I disagree!

  I just get distracted by the timeline. Because she says it’s been a year, but her son is 2. So did she have a drought post-birth, then swing back, then start feeling ugly and gross a year ago and stop again?

    You aren’t supposed to have sex for at least 2 months after giving birth. So maybe they waited a few months longer, tried having sex a couple times but she is tired from having a newborn and feeling down from not losing the pregnancy weight so they stop?
