Why should we like the poster? Just becausr there are four women standing instead of four men?? I have watched many bold movies and enjoyed them but this one seems bad and not just from this poster! There is a certain kind of fakeness in this movie. Nothing comes out natural! And as for dressing or appearance, well everyone and everything is bashed here so i don't know why this should be given a special treatment??

THIS! It's not abt the subject but execution. Everything looks forced here. It would be equally cringy with 4 boys.

Sex comedy? Where is the comedy? Yes, the sex is there, those curse words, that song with very young men sandwiching the women in bed, the revealing costumes.

People didn't find the movie, acting, natural. They're saying it's OTT. It doesn't have to be ZNMD to be good. No one ripped Angry Indian Goddesses to bits. They're commenting on the movie look in itself. Not as comparison to another. The promos are released so people can get a feel of the movie. Lots of people dissing Race promo. You can't tell them they have to like it.

No one has to like the poster, the trailer, the songs, the actors or the film. You can hate it to the core.

Why this hypocrisy , why women centric movies have to always excellent whereas most of Bollywood films are average or below average[/DIV]

All films should try to be excellent. If their not they are criticized.

Some people don't watch Deadpool because they find it too crass. Some people avoid movies like Fifty Shades of Grey that are sexually explicit. Some people found the plot of Sisterhood of Traveling Pants borning. Some people love the Oscar nominees while others find them snoozefests.

Personal taste in entertainment is diverse and subjective. So if people have a dislike for any aspect of Veere Di Wedding due to personal likes and dislikes it is perfectly fine.

However, there are some (not all) audiences who tend to hold double standards. Some people are OK with the likes of John Abraham walking around in a tiny speedo, but balk when a woman wears a bikini. Some people are Ok with male characters smoking or drinking, but feel it is inappropriate if women do so. Some people are OK with male characters being sexually promiscuous but disapprove of female characters being as such. Some people find male leads engaging but find female leads boring and not worthy of holding a film. There is a big problem with this mindset. It reflects a hypocritical double standard.

I am not a mind reader. When people dislike things about Veere Di Wedding, I can't say for sure if it is genuine personal taste or a hypocritical double standard. My personal bias is to assume the latter, but I try to hold myself back. It's a terrible feeling to be misjudged.

All I can hope is that people who may have a bias check themselves. It takes just a few moments to think about why we likeor dislike something. Good brain activity while pooping or showering or laying in bed waiting for sleep.😆

So whether you believe yourself to be biased or not - ask yourself why you like/dislike something. Ask yourself if you could have been subconsciously conditioned to be biased due to societal rules. Are your personal tastes consistent or do you see any hypocritical variances?

THIS post!!! This is exactly how I feel!! And this:

"I can hope is that people who may have a bias check themselves. It takes just a few moments to think about why we like or dislike something. Good brain activity while pooping or showering or laying in bed waiting for sleep."

Self-reflection is an important activity!

I will respond to this. I know I am supporting this film and liking it because it breaks barriers and it is showing something that is often missed in Indian cinema- girls having fun, being badass, questioning norms and sometimes acting foolish. At this point, that is all there is. After I see the film I will know if the film is good or not.

This particular poster is very ordinary. I can show pictures from my college days that look like this- a bunch of girls in all kinds of swimwears with different body shapes, height and color. That is precisely the point I think which is why I am liking this poster.

I am in two minds about the trailer...while I did like it I am also seeing the somewhat "fakeness" that people are talking about. It seems forced. But I do wonder if it seems forced because we are not used to seeing women like this? I have seen women like this in college- foul mouthed, badass women! And I was not fond of them haha! And I don't even relate. I don't like curse words at all. But I know they exist so...it's ok.

This film looks bad, and the gender of the cast has nothing to do with it. It looks forced, contrived, and more fake than a Korean boy band.

this bad poster will be an obituary once the film tanks
