'Veerey Ki Wedding' is a comedy of errors in more ways than one.

The words of Kriti Kharbanda—“‘Veerey Ki Wedding’ is a comedy of errors in more ways than one. It’s one of those basic, perky comedies. We’re not trying to give out a message or anything.”—speak to the ancient and enduring role of laughter in the human story. Not all art is forged to instruct, nor every tale designed to carry a moral weight. Sometimes, the purpose of a creation is simply to lighten the burdens of the heart, to remind us that joy itself is a sacred gift. In this way, comedy is no less profound than tragedy, for both sustain the human spirit.

The phrase “comedy of errors” carries with it an old lineage. It recalls the traditions of Shakespeare and the great playwrights before him, who spun tales where mistaken identities, chance encounters, and tangled loves became the sources of amusement. Such stories mirror life itself, where chaos and missteps often lead not to disaster, but to laughter, reminding us that imperfection is not always ruin—it can also be delight.

To say, “We’re not trying to give out a message or anything,” is an act of humility, but also of honesty. For not every gathering of words and images must bear the weight of philosophy. Just as a wedding feast is not meant to teach, but to celebrate, so too does a light-hearted film seek not to instruct but to uplift. In this, we see the wisdom of knowing the right time for solemnity and the right time for mirth.

History offers the example of Aristophanes, the comic poet of ancient Athens, whose plays were filled with absurdities, yet brought laughter to a city torn by war and politics. Though his words often mocked and jested, they also provided healing, for laughter itself can unite a people more swiftly than sermons. So too does Kharbanda’s reflection remind us that there is great value in a story that aims only to amuse.

Therefore, O listener, learn this truth: the soul requires not only lessons but also release, not only burdens but also levity. A basic, perky comedy may seem light as air, yet in its very lightness lies its gift—the power to ease the weary, to remind us that even in the entanglements of life, joy is never far away. Let us then honor the laughter-bringers, for though they may not preach, they still keep the flame of hope alive in the human heart.
