The year 2023 seems to be extremely enriching full of good box-office numbers, definitely after three years of dry spell. 2023 is seen in different genres of films that movie-goers can enjoy. After the success of Jawan, Pathaan, and Gadar 2 last week saw three films clashing at the box-office -- The Vaccine War, Fukrey 3 and Kangana Ranaut's Chandramukhi. All the films faired below average as the foothold of Jawan and Gadar 2 is strong.
On October 6, 2023, Friday three films were released in cinema halls one of which was Akshay Kumar's Mission
Bhumi Pednekar, Shehnaaz Gill, Shibani Bedi, Kusha Kapila, Karan Kundrra starrer Thank You for Coming. And Sunny Deol's son's debut film Dono.
Thank you for coming social media review
Back in 2000 sex comedies namely Kya Kool Hai Hum, Grand Masti and several other films created rage at the box office as they spoke about so-called taboo subjects. The slapstick comedy had a different audience back then.

My girl you nail it, Proud moment for all #ShehnaazGill Fans ❤️❤️??#ThankYouForComingReview pic.twitter.com/05pKybijNV
And now in 2023, sex comedy and the need for sexual pleasure are touched up but now from women's perspective. Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor in the film Thank You Coming showcase the importance and need for sex in women's lives and their perspective on sex, foreplay and orgasm. The film is bold, blunt, progressive and talks about self-love.

Fans praised the filmmakers for making a film on a subject which is still taboo in 2023.
A user wrote, "A viewer stated, "#ThankYouForComing is entertaining - packs with one-liners which will entertain you but besides all this film, the film says the most important story in the subtle way that will stay with you."
@ishehnaaz_gill Delivering stellar act ??

Another wrote, "#ThankYouForComing An 'ouch on the couch' comic caper. Bhumi and the gal gang are a complete riot; while Karan Boolani does a fab job as a debut director. This is not a picture; it's a 'pill' - Happy ending guaranteed!"

Brave, bold, fearless, progressive, entertaining… The non-stereotypical plot + unadulterated discussion on tabooed topics are sure to spark off conversations… #BhumiPednekar puts up a solid act… Not a flawless film,… pic.twitter.com/D3WzSshQfF
The movie premiered at the 46th 2023 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in the Gala Presentations section on 15 September 2023. Written by Radhika Anand and Prashasti Singh.
