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.

Guys Tannu weds Mannu is a light hearted Rom-com flick which u can enjoy with Ur family.It has some down moments and some very top standard .The movie is all over nice but not too good.There is nothing fresh but still some scenes can grab Ur attention .The director "Aanand Rai" who directed "Thoda Life Thoda Magic" and "strangers" comes with his new flick.Performances are the top notch part of the movie with its soundtrack,the songs like "Saadi Gali" and "Jugni" are so groovy that gives u a feeling to dance and track like "Yun Hi" is really fantastic and memorable for me,sung by 'Mohit Chouhan'.The Screenplay which is always the backbone of a movie is good but not awesome to grab the audience.Cinematography is worthy to watch.R. Madhvan and Kangana done a great job with this movie and best for me is a Jimmy Shergil,he is in guest appearance nd he is too good.Dialogues are also one of the best part of the movie. The movie is stretched in many parts but still it has some pop up moments,it has great storyline but less messed up climax would have worked wonders for the film.

On the whole,Tannu weds mannu is a light family entertainment movie,if u love simple nd uncomplicated flicks than it is going to tug Ur hearts.So go nd watch it.Its a wonderful mismatch.

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.

Having read the synopsis, I became interested in Aanand Rai's 'Tanu Beds Manu'. The film starts amusingly, even though full of clichés. The beep slangs were funny but it would have been funnier if there was no beep but then again the makers wanted to make the movie family friendly I guess. I liked the references it makes to other Hindi films. The interaction between the characters are fun especially in the first half and Manu's initial struggle after being turned down by Tanu and peer and parental pressure are shown amusingly. I also enjoyed the scenes with Kangana Ranaut and Madhavan in this portion of the movie. It's only after the introduction of Raja Awasthi that things rapidly head downhill. From then on it becomes another generic Bollywood love triangle that has been overdone in, well, numerous Bollywood movies. At this point the film drags on and on until the predictable and overstretched ending. Madhavan does a brilliant job as the slightly nerdy goofy Manu. Comedy may not be Kangana's fort but she tries and is quite alright. Jimmy Shergill is wasted. Deepak Dobriyal is excellent. Ravi Kishen is wasted. Overall, this could have been a decently entertaining lighthearted fare all the way if it weren't for the lacklustre second half.

TANU WEDS MANU is a feel good movie with its own pros and flaws.

The movie starts off well with a typical start like a rom com movie added a Punjabi funk and flavor to it.

The film manages to hook you with its sheer atmospherics.The director creates an extremely busy and colorful canvas brimming with characters who are anything but cardboard cut-outs.

If Madhavan fleshes out a heart-tugging, oh-so-lonely and acutely Desi NRI, winning you over with his shy smiles and well-mannered chutzpah, then Kangna Ranaut's wild cat rebel is endearing too.The feel good attitude of the film is what it makes a worth watch.

The story by Himashu Sharma is good but nothing new.The factor that keeps you engaged is the unpredictability.Dialogues are catchy and witty at the same time.Good score here.But the screenplay is okay.

The editing by Hemal Kothari is lousy.The film could have been tightened post interval.The ups and downs in the rom com could have been elaborated slightly better.Kangna's transformation from wild cat to Susy etches.Cinematography by Chitranjan Das is good.

Music is a complete surprise. Debutant Krsna takes a good start here.Background score is good and it complements the movie.

Aanand L. Rai after a good start with "Strangers" looks promising here.He has managed well to differentiate an ordinary rom com with this one.

TANU WEDS MANU deserves to be a different cinema in its genre due to directions.Minus few Hiccups in story section,the director has managed well the overall flow of the movie.

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.

Watched 20 times and still there is something which attracts towards this movie. Such movies are hard to find...so do watch. The artistic skills of Manu, Tanu , Payal , Pappi , father of Tanu is tremendous ..... they are simply awesome

Some stuff where some more work could have done was Punjabi language. The dialects spoken by Jassi ( hard core Punjabi groom ) is not that convincing.

Jimmy Shergill who himself is better Punjabi should have done the role of Jassi. But true to his name Jimmy has played a great role.

Role of Payal is too good,she has long way to go

Today i watched Tannu weds Mannu without much expectations from it, but it turned out to be a good time pass movie.

First half is really like a roller coaster ride. Lots of humor with some 'beeped slangs'. It was really funny to hear Indian slags from Kangna who is playing a role of a bindass girl.. ;). As the movie move on you create an interest in the story. Unlike most of bollywood movies where you can predict every scene before, this movie is some what different.

Second half is comparatively slow and the story calms down with some emotional touch in the movie. Story becomes somehow predictable, but it needs to be that way. They couldn't do much in that.

Kangna has shown in couple of her last movie that she can also act a bit. Madhavan is good as always.

Overall it is a good time pass movie. Go and watch it if you are bored with you daily routine and want some fun.

Last Sunday, just casually I went to watch Tanu Weds Manu with a low expectation. And to my immense surprise, I felt extremely satisfied after watching it. In fact, as the movie progressed, I found myself being lost in the narrative, flowing with the storyline and the characters (mainly with the hero). This low profile movie is based on an unrealistic story of a well-educated (and well-mannered) NRI doctor, falling for a drunkard, smoker, foul-mouthed and philandering girl of a middle class family of Kanpur (it's been told that she had had her education in Delhi). However, it's the utterly realistic portrayal of this unrealistic story on the screen which makes it a winner.

As expected, the boy falling for the charms of the girl (whom he sees for the first time in a highly intoxicated state and he thought she was slept), finally wins her over first emotionally and then practically. So the end of the movie is as predictable as any other bollywood movie of the same genre. However, the twists and turns in the story alongwith the highly realistic milieu and the supporting characters involved, turn the experience of watching this movie into a highly satisfying one.

At the very outset, it reminds the viewer of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun and later it is reminiscent of Jab We Met and Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge at places. However the commendable thing is that despite similarities in bits and pieces, this movie maintains an identity of its own. It's definitely not a copy of any other movie.

The locales of Kanpur, Kapurthala, Lucknow etc. have been captured by the cinematographer with a high degree of excellence for which he deserves an award for sure. The lives of the middle class people (whether they are from the prospective bride's side or the prospective groom's side) have been shown with so much naturalness that the characters and their homes look quite real and nowhere filmi. The middle-class India shown in the movie is, in fact, the real one with real flesh and blood characters that may be found at next door to us.

The first half is thoroughly gripping and entertaining whereas despite its shorter length, the second half is a bit dragging and edgy. However, overall the movie render an air of feel-good. We know that the hero will get his love in the end (after all, he is an Indian hero), still the script-writer has done a marvellous job by maintaining the curiosity throughout.

After a very long time, I listened to such soul-soothing music in a bollywood movie. So full marks to the music director as well as the lyricist.

The supporting characters of the movie are above its story; utterly real, familiar and like a gust of fresh air. Whether it's the chaddi-buddy of the hero or his present best pal, whether it's the closest friend of the heroine or the fathers of the hero-heroine duo, all are able to leave their imprints on the viewers' hearts. In fact, it's the supporting cast which is the heart and the soul of this movie.

Jimmi Shergill stands out in the predictable climax and once again proves that he's an actor par excellence. I have been an admirer of R. Madhwan since his Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein days and to me, he played the character of the mature and considerate hero, doing justice to his love at first sight, with perfection. His underplay deserves a standing ovation indeed. Many readers may not agree with me, however I found Kangna Ranaut as miscast in the role of the spoilt girl. Barring the final 15-20 minutes, I found her expressions and gestures as plastic, not emerging from her heart.

When Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge had been released, I was a heartbroken boy and not being mature enough, used to think of getting the love of my life in the style of Raj (Shah Rukh Khan). Later on, upon growing up with age only I realized that I could never be so resourceful as the larger than life character of Raj in DDLJ. However I am able to identify with Manu of TWM; the considerate, understanding, well-educated, yet old-fashioned and traditional and above all, sacrificing, true lover.

'Tanu Weds Manu', directed by Anand L. Rai, is a Good Film, that offers entertaining moments in the first, as well as the in second hour, and manages to hold your attention. Sure, it's flawed, but it never really loses it's pace, which works on it's advantage.

'Tanu Weds Manu' is a Romantic-Comedy, about how two extreme opposites attract. But, like every Love-Story, there are faced by several obstacles, which they face, and eventually get over with.

Himanshu Sharma's Writing is First-Rate in the first hour, as it offers some really interesting sequences. But, the writing dips in the second hour, and tends to drag a bit. However, a convincing culmination does the trick. Anand L. Rai directs this Romantic-Comedy ably. Cinematography is perfect. Music by Krsna, is super.

Performance-Wise: Both R. Madhavan and Kangna Ranaut shine in their respective parts. Jimmy Shergill is excellent. An Under-Rated Actor! Deepak Dobriyal is lovable. Eijaz Khan supports well. Rajendra Gupta is flawless, as always. Others lend good support.

On the whole, A light-entertainer, that can definitely be viewed once.

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.

Film is humorous but it's not complete comedy movie. Kangana's acting looks plastic but madhavan really he portrayed his potential. overall a one time watchable movie.

You can go along with the flow. Well made. Appropriately satisfying. Witty dialogues keeps the engine going all along.

I am not a big fan of Kangna and before watching the movie I was convinced that Kangna will flop at playing the role of a small town girl. However, I must say that Kangna performed very convincingly as Tanu from a small town in UP. Movie had lots of twist and turns but was very convincing up until the end. Madhavan as Munnu Ji was also very likable and convincing. The guy falls in love with a girl at first sight and does things for her even though she is cruel to him. Overall a very good movie that exceeded my expectations. The music of the movie was also very good. Especially like the punjabi songs. My favorite one was kadi sadi gali .. I also liked the rehash of Kajra mohabbat wala. Supporting cast was also strong.

The movie was alright but not the kind of entertainer it was made out to be. The storyline was straight forward with some not so required abuses at the start. (Girl's father throwing one when madhavan says no to marriage).

Madhavan was ordinary and kangna's dialog delivery made me either laugh or irritated me. Movie's best moments belong to the gentleman playing "pappi" - madhavan's friend. I love the song kabhi saddi gully...

I would definitely say no to a theater watch. Well if u have nothing to do on a hot afternoon and want to stay home and run a DVD..may be think about it.

It's one of the most common story tropes of Hindi cinema. Arranged marriage, one party is unwilling and at the end they fall in love and get married.

What's different in this film is that the trope is set in a smaller city in North India and with it come the local vernacular, the local traditions and idiosyncrasies. The direction and dialogue and pacing of the film is good. The music uses the local vernacular and is great. You get the feel of the place which is a plus to the main plot.

The acting is good. I don't know what it is about Kangana Ranaut that works magic on you in every film she is in. He brash and jarring attitude works for the character perfectly. Without that the film looses the local colour.

Overall a must watch.

Tanu weds Manu is an average ,usual Romantic Comedy . It has got a simple mix up, confusion kind of plot with a bit silly yet predictable ending. The movie showed its spark at moments but never really took off. It started at a very a high note the initial comic sequences were very good. A sequence were they go to Vaishnav Devi is very funny and "Gaali" is used in two places very hilariously.The romance in the movie is not evident at all ,infact there is only a couple of romantic sequences.The music was good except the first song which was unbearable but none of the songs was played fully they were played in traces mixed with movie sequences. One of the most romantic song of the movie "Yun Hi" is played only for a minute or two which was disappointing . After a good beginning the movie kinda switch to a steady mode with few good sequences here and there and finally declines towards the end. But its still OK and bearable .

There are no great performances . There are several character in the movie most of them have very small roles. Maddy has got a very easy role of a simple guy and does justice with it .Eventhough Kangana has got an interesting character her role is not very impressive . Kagana comes in a very different avatar never seen b4 and i just hope i never see it again. Her looks are neither cute , beautiful or hot . She looks very ordinary and at places hideous.The costumes and hairstyles add to her bad appearance. Her acting is also pretty uneven . she does a decent job with the comic scenes but slightly goes flat on the emotional sequences .Pappi is a wonderful character played by Deepak Dobriyal . He is the most impressive one in the movie ,he extracts smile out of the audience most of the time and very good to watch . Jimmy Shergil plays a tough guy and the way he looks and dresses very much goes with the character , He does a good job.

This story tells about the story of modern women which is redifining the story of millions of lives in our country. The social message given by this movie is very powerful...

The promos were indeed eye-catching but the way it raked "moolah" at the box-office indeed took the entire industry by surprise. The constituents of "Tanu Weds Manu" is its honesty and down to earth treatment. The screenplay makes the proceedings believable and add to that a script which is very much a spoken language making the audience to instantly connect.

√ Maddy:: A much awaited deserving solo hit which hopefully should translate into bagging some interesting projects. BTW - Manu Sharma being a engineer-cum-doctor in London served no purpose to the actual plot. And yes, a natural performance indeed.

√ Kangana:: The rebellious character "Tanu "with a mind of her own has been borrowed from many (recently Ms. Padukone in "Break Ke Baad"). Now that the movie is a hit, Kangana surely has added the feather to her cap. No doubt she has given her honest best but it showed that she was over- doing it. Perhaps it would have been natural had Anushka or Deepika were brought on board.

√ Deepak Dobrial:: A waste of talent. Ended up being a side-kick while I was hoping his character would leave a lasting impact.

√ Ravi Kishen:: Good diversion at the beginning but ended up with a special appearance.

√ Jimmy Shergill:: Good "tough guy" performance (and would have certainly helped to pour in the audience from Punjab).

√ K K Raina, Rajendra Gupta & Navni Parihar:: Lend adequate support.

Songs went on to become popular after the movie churned good numbers. "Tanu Weds Manu" certainly deserves one time watch.

In Indian Cinema, a good musical score which has already made its impact on the audience is considered half the battle won. And further if the movie comes out to be a surprisingly pleasant experience then it becomes an icing on the cake for its makers. The same is the case with TANU WEDS MANU which despite of having its own shares of drawbacks, still manages to make you smile and enjoy while sitting in the theater and keeps the good waves of 2011 flowing.

Yes, the movie has some seen before settings, the same Punjabi wedding drama, the same NRI visiting the country in search of a girl, the same unconventional kind of girl's character and the same triangular love angle being played towards the climax. Moreover when you are going to see a movie called TANU WEDS MANU then you obviously know that whatever may happen, in the end its going to be a happy ending after all where the wedding between the two has to be there without any exception. But the beauty of the film is that regardless of all this known before and predictable kind of stuff, it still very successfully manages to keep you hooked and smiling, especially in the first half and in the climax.

Before intermission, TWM is highly enjoyable with many appreciable sequences supported by some great one liner dialogues in the local lingo. Particularly I would like to mention the sequences of family's VAISHNO DEVI visit. In no time the characters move from Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow and Vaishno Devi to Punjab finally and then it all comes down the romance between the lead pair in some common friend's wedding. But even before you start thinking that its all the same, Kangna strikes you as a shocker with her Bindaas kind of character, who believes in smoking, drinking, changing boyfriends and then running along with them repeatedly. And from that moment onwards, director Aanand L Raj keeps giving you more surprising twists and turns right till the intermission which really works.

Post intermission the film takes a slight dip, with few prolonged scenes, some dull moments and a stretching drama between the on screen friends. But again the final half an hour sets the things right and you don't mind seeing all those unwanted moments at all. In fact the last sequence where two baraats (heading towards marrying the same girl), meet each other on the road is well written and entertaining. However if only the second part of the film was a bit shorter and to the point then I surely could have rated it as a complete entertainer in the end.

Now what really works in this somewhat clichéd movie? For me First is its brilliant on location cinematography giving you an earthy and authentic feel which wins you over in minutes. Second is its well written dialogues spoken by both men and women, using the local lingo superbly. Third remains its lovable characters which are very close to the ones we might know in our real life. And fourth is its winner soundtrack which has already been accepted by the Bollywood music lovers to a great extent. Especially, the sad song running in the background and the song & dance sequence intelligently choreographed on the Original Golden Track, "Kajra Mohabbat Wala" featuring Kangna in a freaking style. So all together it turns out to be a pleasant enjoyable surprise with some appreciable performances from the cast.

On top of all is the lead pair which impressively sticks to their given roles quite different than what they have already portrayed on the screen. Madhavan, playing the role of a NRI with no attitude or style of a foreigner, gives a very controlled and lovable performance. Breaking the old mould, he is an NRI who still loves the old Indian Traditions of arranged marriage and is also a fan of Mohd. Rafi's songs. In fact, TWM is one of those few movies in which I liked Madhavan frankly. Kangna Ranaut on the contrary, plays a completely unexpectedly bold and out- spoken girl who is pretty confused about the love factor in her life. Though for some she might have over-done it but as I see it, she played her part nicely and was able to leave an impact on the viewer. Her diction has no doubt improved but it still needs to be looked upon by her seriously. In short its one of Kangna's better performances till date.

In the rest of the cast, Jimmy Shergill once again proves that he deserves to be there in the frontline of Bollywood. The boy does a great job even in his under-written role of a Bhai. In the post interval part his character is not well defined enough and could be showcased in a better way. Yet Jimmy plays it real well in the last scene. Ravi Kissen shoudnt have done this meaningless role of just a few minutes. But Deepak Dobriyal gets most of the Taalis on his one liners. He is superb once again in a side-role and deserves a much better place unarguably. Other than these, the girl playing Kangna's friend is pretty good and all the elders of the two families have done perfectly well.

So, it all comes down to what you actually go for in a theater. If you really go for some fun moments accompanied by few worth watching performances along with some good music served with a little drama, then TANU WEDS MANU might turn out to be the right choice for you too. Because it worked for me in its major parts but still generated a slightly lesser impact than the last year's BAND BAAJA BAARAT.

"Tanu Weds Manu" is a rather poor romance....mostly because the script manages to make the viewer dislike the leads...especially the prospective bride, Tanuja.

The film begins with Manoj arriving back in India. It seems he's a successful doctor in London and he's returning because his parents have arranged a marriage for him. However, his intended is simply awful. First, she arranges for him to get beaten up shortly after he arrives. Second, she's intoxicated and practically comatose when they meet...by her own choice. Third, she later tells him that she hates him, won't marry him and is in love with another man. Clearly she is NOT prime wife material. But Manoj is apparently a pathetic guy and he pines for her.

Some time later, a friend invites Manoj to attend a wedding. Once in this city in the Punjab region, he realizes Tanuja is there and over time they eventually fall in love.

So why did I strongly dislike it? Well, Tanuja is an unlikable and awful person. And, Manoj isn't exactly a catch because in spite of this, he STILL wants her. Pathetic. Overall, a film I had a hard time finishing as I just didn't care about the characters...a fatal flaw in a rom-com.
