'Tanu Weds Manu Returns' movie review: Kangana's swag is par excellence!
By Ritika Handoo Expect all you can from this Anand L Rai sequel. The film is a happy experience that will keep you in splits throughout. Right from the beginning, 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns' successfully keeps your attention intact, scene-per-scene. The old Hindi film song playing in the opening credit roll gives the screenplay such a typical 'Indian wedding' feel. Director Anand L Rai has brilliantly executed what he wanted to in this sequel. The moment Tanu Trivedi (Kangana Ranaut) is seen talking in her patent Kanpuri style while visiting a medical centre, as she feels her husband of four years, Manu Sharma (R Madhavan) is mad—the audience just can't help but burst out laughing.

Movie Review – Tanu Weds Manu Returns: A rollicking entertainerTanu Weds Manu Returns’ is a conceptually bohemian, wildly entertaining and smartly assembled romedy that might zap your intelligence but never fails to keep you in splits. Anand L Rai does a wonderful job keeping it all together, tight and evenly spaced with each character getting his due without much ado. Of course it’s Kangana who cracks the glass ceiling here and dons the hat of the hero- a double whammy that will keep you in awe of her phenomenal talent in the years ahead. Screenwriter Himanshu Sharma does a fantastic job designing a narrative that is both natively rooted and wickedly funny. The story picks up from where the first ended. The narrative opening has the warring couple undergoing a session at a psychiatric facility. The psychiatrist appears to have a bias against the husband and promptly has him locked up in the asylum the minute he raises his voice in frustration. It’s quite an unbelievable set-up for what is to follow... Read full story here: www.freepressjournal.in/movie-review-tanu-weds-manu-returns-a-rollicking-entertainer/

I found it funny, but the final question is why on earth does he want her back? She is not nice, spoiled and a rotten person. He is boring and has no personality.

I found it funny, but the final question is why on earth does he want her back? She is not nice, spoiled and a rotten person. He is boring and has no personality. I agree: it was funny, and the scenes of village life were great, but the area of character development and motivation was a big problem. We didn't really get to know why they fought in the first place, nor why they should consider getting back together. Neither lead has much depth, and neither goes through any sort of change or growth that would explain why their feelings would modify during the movie; they were much more believably depicted in the first film. Manu's thoughtless wrecking of Kusum's life was particularly annoying.

I loved the muscularity infused into the female lead(s) in this film, so ably expressed by Kangana. Also that there's no attempt to sugarcoat Tanu and Manu's characters. Manu's a simple, kinda boring guy who loves dull domesticity. Tanu is a vain creature, excessively conscious about her power to make strong men drool; she seems to have nothing much else to do in life, certainly work of any sort doesn't figure in her scheme of things!I found some of her character traits authentically sourced from a certain type of modern urban young woman one sees quite a bit of these days here in India. They're very 'emancipated' in terms of personality, dress and free-and-easy ways with the opposite sex (as opposed to the traditional shy, reserved and 'virtuous' Indian woman). But their liberated spirit doesn't go beyond that. Those other, more solid - and IMO, genuinely modern/emancipated traits - like opposing entrenched patriarchal structures, working one's way out of poverty, capitalizing on non-traditional skills (sports in this case).. essentially, breaking the mould in the truest sense of the world, are wonderfully captured in the other Kangana. The movie just hints that both Tanu and Manu may have woken up to their flaws by the end. But there's no major change in them - and that feels real too. People simply don't transform their nature so rapidly and the film doesn't offer a neat solution so we can go home happy. T and M will continue to have issues, but one hopes, after their experience of near-divorce and rediscovery of their bond, that they will remember what they nearly lost. These two deserve each other I did find a part of the second half a trifle stretched but what saved the viewing experience were the jokes that come so thick and fast, you can't help cutting the director some slack. It's quite remarkable what T&M R achieves, within its hardcore Bolly format.

Finally saw this, and I thought this movie was funny-ish, but at the end I hated it. I thought about it and I think we have been spoiled with the rom-com formula. I was so used to thinking that I had to love them both by the end of the movie that I thought the movie was bad because I hated the characters. But the more I realized that I really wasn't supposed to like anyone in this movie and I grew to like it. But also, I am not culturally knowledgeable in a lot of the things that happened, so I couldn't figure out why it was so well liked in India but I hated it so much here, so I guess it was just one of those films. But also, I love Kangana and I loved her double role. Check out Bolly Got Back! a new podcast talking all bollywood, all the time
