'Thank You For Coming' Review: Bhumi's film excels at foreplay but misses G-spot

India Today  

Margot Robbie’s ‘I am a Barbie girl, in my Barbie world,’ took everyone by storm this July. Borrowing notes from that, Rhea Kapoor’s ‘Thank You For Coming’ is about one such ‘Barbie,’ except she is Kanika Kapoor from Delhi and it is her world. It isn’t easy to support a film like this, in a society that almost negates female desires, and the film might open doors for not-so-awkward conversations about sex. The few laughs we get in the film are thanks to Anil Kapoor’s fantastic cameo and Ekta Kapoor’s TV series references. The film’s one-line sale pitch of ‘the key to finding your ‘happiness’ is in your ‘own hands,’ both figuratively and literally, perhaps could have been dealt with in a better way.
