Plot summary
Kalindi and Rishabh have shared a home in Australia for two years. She argues against marriage in principle, shaped by parents who quarreled and by her father Kishan's remarriage, but when Rishabh proposes she accepts for his sake and flies to Delhi for the celebrations. Her three friends come: Avni, a divorce lawyer whose mother keeps searching for a groom; Sakshi, who is married but now lives with her parents; and Meera, married to an American named John and still estranged from her father, who opposed the match. Kalindi lodges with her uncle Kuki, whose partner is Keshav. Rishabh's family treats every Hindu wedding ritual as deeply important and wants a destination wedding for a thousand guests, while Kishan thinks of a community hall, and Kalindi worries about the expectations that will follow the marriage.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Veere Di Wedding (2018)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Pakistani actor Danish Taimoor was originally cast as Rishabh opposite Kareena Kapoor Khan, with filming dates already finalised, but delays from Kapoor Khan's pregnancy and rising India–Pakistan tensions made him pull out; Sumeet Vyas replaced him.
- Pakistan's Central Board of Film Censors banned the film and Kuwait did not screen it over its explicit language and sexuality; Swara Bhaskar said it was evident it would be banned in non-secular states run by sharia law, like Pakistan.
- While Veere Di Wedding was still in production, a similarly titled film, Veerey Ki Wedding with Pulkit Samrat, Kriti Kharbanda and Jimmy Shergill, appeared; legal action by father and daughter Anil Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor over the similar name failed.
- On its first day in India, Veere Di Wedding set the record for the highest opening-day collection for a Hindi film with a female protagonist or protagonists.
- Trolls used Swara Bhaskar's masturbation scene from Veere Di Wedding on election placards during the fourth phase of the 2019 Indian general election to shame her, and she lashed out at them.
