"Producers Rhea Kapoor and Ektaa Kapoor have perfected the formula for a good chick flick, and Rhea's casting is the icing on the cake.

So, just when we thought it couldn't get much better than the Veere, Kapoor shocks us with a new trio - they're modern, irreverent, and tell it like it is.”

Scott Menzel, a film critic, adored the film. "Absolutely loved Karan Boolani's Thank You For Coming," he wrote. “An amusing and touching look at female sexuality and learning to accept oneself. Bhumi Pednekar's portrayal of Kanika Kapoor is flawless. She brings such fun, levity, and authenticity to the part. Amazing energy as well."- he added.
