Tanu Weds Manu

Movie was very much put on the tanu's perspective towards life, marriage, boys and manu but out of all of these Manu and his genuinity stands out through out the movie. Tanu seems dumb at times to unnotice or consider Manu and we may tend to go to the state where its tanus loss if she doesnt find interest in manu and his world. Overall movie was very well made and it hits the audience anxiety because it is shown from tanu's perspective. Because almost everyone will hate so much by the time of interval that only manu bears all her tantrum's. Acting wise kangana was very very good and i think this is the first film of hers where she proved herself with her acting. Madhavan was as usually a best fit into the character. Songs where good enough. Overall a Good Cinema.

I had no prior intentions of watching this movie on first day first show. Some of my friends were going to watch this, so I joined them. Having just watched a trailer, I set out to watch this film without any expectations. But, to my surprise this movie made me laugh a lot and by the interval most people were out of their seats clapping and laughing. Movie also had a spicy Indian flavor which mixed with great humor made for really some treat. But, soon after interval, it turned out that this was too good to be true. After interval, movie started taking sharp turns some of those were beyond Human understanding. This could have been a wonderful 100 minutes movie. Don't know why directors instead opted for stretching this movie so much so as to make it completely boring and quite predictable too in the end. But, you won't regret your bucks if you see it with your friends for first time. This movie had some awesome beats as well. Punjabi beats were just irresistible not to dance upon them. Do check out OST after watching this movie. Madhawan was awesome as ever. Kangana is a good actress as far as acting is concerned and she didn't disappoint. But, it was difficult to gage the kind of character she played, which turned out to be a bit frustrating. Award for special acting, if any, will go to "Deepak Dobriyal" who in the cast of Pappu delivers an excellent performance. He is the one guy who keeps movie one even in a supporting role. Jimmy Shergil in his guest role is awesome too. His performance was very realistic. Eijaz Khan in the role of Jassi is also quite good. Having said that, this movie could have been a real gem which it wasn't. This is kind of movie you would want to see and then forget. Those not familiar with Indian culture might get disappointed because, Indian flavor is what makes this movie enjoyable. I will rate this movie as an average one. 7 out of 10.

Tanu Weds Manu is an enjoyable film but sadly it never manages to be outstanding. And it could have been, had it been handled better. The film starts on a very nice note, and the first half is very good. Later on it becomes a little messy. The messiness however never takes away from the film's feel-good nature, its colour and wonderful music. The narrative style in this sense is really very good, it's very musical and makes the entire thing flow really well even if the writing is not at its potential best. The romance is particularly well-done, there's a right amount of balance in how the tension is between the two main characters, who are polar opposites, is built.

Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut might be an unlikely couple at first, but it works well. Most of the credit goes to Madhavan's wonderfully subtle and profound performance. His Manu is kind and vulnerable and very easy to empathise with. As the wild Tanu, Ranaut looks prettier than ever and has a nice energy. She does get a little screechy and over-expressive at times, but her presence makes up for much of it. The supporting cast includes a host of familiar faces, and it is Swara Bhaskar who leaves a mark in a performance that is never less than convincing. The conclusion of the story is rather predictable but it's a nice one, as is this film, a watchable and culturally rich romance.

Despite the film's incredible success, I personally found it to be a simple film with nothing but overused clichés of Hindi cinema. A mess made for theatres, suitable as television serial, though has splendid actors in it, falls short because of it's boring screenplay.

Just because you take a bakwaas bollywood film, remove all of it's cringe parts, and make a Desi film out of it with Desi music filling incessantly, doesn't make your film award deserving. It was rather disappointing.

Tanu Weds Manu is a typical romantic comedy movie which has got interesting characters to make the viewing pleasurable. Like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, this movie also makes the mistake of revealing the climax through its title. We know that at the end Tanu is going to wed Manu due to the hastily chosen title. R Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut play the lead roles and give decent performances. Kangana plays the effervescent, rebellious, emotional girl with perfection. However, Jimmy Shergill steals the show with him playing Raja who is a small time criminal who Kangana is about to marry before deciding that she was in love with Manu. The movie takes quite a lot of creative liberties as the number of coincidences that occur in the movie are highly unrealistic. But if you view the movie for what it is, that is a family entertainer that is not meant to be taken very seriously, then it does a good job. It is a feel good movie that works.
