    Tanu weds Manu movie review: A must watch romantic comedy film.
    By Kiran Anto
    Rating 3.00 out of 5

    Tanu weds Manu The upcoming movie of the month “Tanu weds Manu” is release today. This movie is a romantic comedy, which demonstrates how 2 apparently opposite natured people fall in love. In this movie, R Madhavan and Kangna Ranaut are in lead roles.

    Tanu Weds Manu falls far-off short of outlook of yet another Bollywood flick weaving about the tale of a starry eyed NRI falling for a desi girl. Just similar to strangers, director Anand L Rai has lived up to the prospect and given the audience a romantic story narrated in an eccentric and un-clichéd manner.

    Tanu is relatively the unruly small-town girl, bold and beautiful with expressions full up with expletives. Append to it her alternative of life partner-a local don.

    At the ending, Tanu will wed Manu; so far the tale of the wedding ultimately took place keeps you engaged. Kangana ultimately gets a role in which she sounds persuasive as the rebellious, bold and outspoken Kanpur girl.

    So, don’t miss this romantic comedy with Madhavan and Ranaut in this week. Catch this movie in theatre. Keep watching and enjoying!

    Story: Manu (R Madhavan) is a sad and serious NRI doctor in London who comes looking for a bride in India. He flips for a sozzled small town girl, Tanu (Kangna Ranaut) who lives with her extended family in Kanpur. But there's a hitch. Tanu loves a goonda from Lucknow and threatens Manu with dire consequences if he doesn't say No to the wedding. Poor Manu! He not only says No but tries his best to get his dream girl marry her boyfriend.

    Movie Review: Been there, done that? Yes, the first thing that strikes you about Tanu Weds Manu is a striking sense of familiarity. It wasn't long before you saw Shahid Kapoor playing a similar sacrificial lover to Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met. And like poor Kareena, who tries too sort out her confused emotions against the backdrop of the big fat Punjabi wedding, Tanu too must decide who is better husband material, first amidst the hustle bustle of her best friend's boisterous going-balle-balle baraat and then at her chaotic Kanpuria community haveli.

    But the deja vu doesn't last long. For despite the predictable -- and paper thin -- storyline, the film manages to hook you with its sheer atmospherics. The director creates an extremely busy and colourful 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 Friends Inc also pitches in an inspired act with the groom's best buddies Deepak Dobriyal and Eijaz Khan adding fun and games to the raucous proceedings. On the bride's side, it is the spunky Payal (Swara Bhaskar) who infuses verve, even while emerging as Kangna's counsel and guide. As for Jimmy Sheirgill, must we reiterate: Give him a role, guys; he's good! In fact, the highpoint of Tanu weds Manu is not so much the confused romance between Madhavan and Kangana. Instead, it is the `bromance' (dosti-dushmani) between Madhavan and Jimmy that grabs eyeballs with its volcanic undercurrents, which alas, are too few and far between.

    And then come the sundry cityscapes.... Tanu Weds Manu lives more through its psychedelic backdrop than its drama. The film maker along with his cinematographer (Chirantan Das) and music director (Krsna) captures mofussil India with all its bustling beauty. Kanpur, with its overriding chaos and its criss-cross alleys almost begins to breathe on screen, even as the great Indian family emerges as one helluva character in one more desi paean to the joint parivaar.

    Fun while it lasts, Tanu Weds Manu throws up Bollywood's newest obsession -- small town girls and their gunas (values) -- once again. A meatier storyline and a less messed up climax would have worked wonders for the film.

    Bollywood actors R. Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut are on cloud nine after their favourite actress Madhuri Dixit praised their movie " Tanu Weds Manu", which releases Friday.

    Madhuri, who came along with her family for the special screening of the romantic comedy, considered the movie a fine body of work as she could relate to the movie for its Indianness and connect to cultural roots.

    On knowing this, both Kangana and Madhavan are extremely happy.

    An excited Madhavan wrote on microblogging site Twitter, "I met THE MADHURI DIXIT NENE today...she said she love my work .. MY YEAR IS MADEEEEe.. YIPEEEE (sic)."

    Review: Tanu Weds Manu is charming
    Last updated on: February 25, 2011 18:40 IST

    Sukanya Verma reviews Tanu Weds Manu. Post YOUR reviews here!

    A London-based Delhi [ Images ] boy and his family arrive at a Kanpur household kicking off a vibrant ruckus of prattle and curiosity.

    Following a black eye fix from a local ruffian at the railway station, the jittery visitor and Co. lose some of their inhibitions after they're greeted by a naked tot waving at them with a cutesy, 'Aaiye, aaiye.' Meanwhile, the typically enthusiastic hosts indulge them with obligatory chit-chat and (presumably) Thaggu's ladoos.

    The vocabulary, disposition, sensibility, camaraderie and milieu is fond, familiar and stems from a classic set-up in upper middle-class, non-cosmopolitan North India [ Images ]; all these elements composite into giving director Aanand L Rai's Tanu Weds Manu, travelling to and fro between Delhi, Kanpur, Lucknow [ Images ] and Kapurthala, a sense of accessibility and realism.

    What ensues after the afore-mentioned scene is, however, not a commonplace eventuality. Although it's a routine arranged marriage layout for boy-meets-girl, the lady in question, is no Geet or Simran [ Images ].

    A quirky creature with a picture of Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara in her bedroom, Tanu (Kangna Ranaut [ Images ]) is the kind of girl with no real focus, only cosmetic aggression. Although she's educated, her idea of liberation is hollow rebellion -- hanging out with crooked fellas, drinking, smoking, occasionally swearing -- which gets all the more highlighted because her parents appear to be exceptionally accommodating.

    For all her care-a-damn attitude, Tanu, just like her fierce curls and gentle countenance, is a fascinating paradox hopping between edgy and erratic, a soft head who sulks randomly, giggles comically, indulges in all possible shock tactics but ultimately does think there's not much difference between her and a 'bandariya.'

    There's a thin line between silly and stupid but Kangna Ranaut makes Tanu work with her chirpy appeal and energy. Not really known for dialogue delivery, Ranaut uses her lumbering tongue to Tanu's advantage lending the rom-com some added lightness.

    Then there's Manu (R Madhavan). Manu, like Mohan Bhargav of Swades [ Images ], is exactly the kind of too-good-to-be-true guy for whom terms like 'instantly likeable' were coined. And Madhavan suits the role to the T. He's perfectly cast as the genial, composed doctor head over heels in love with Ms High Maintenance.

    Of course, they're no Joel and Clementine but the disparity is along the same lines. There are more layers to Manu than meet the eye but they're never underlined by writer Himanshu Sharma. Tanu Weds Manu engages best if you can read in between the lines and draw your own sub-text.

    Sharma fails to maintain the zing till the very end though. A disappointing, lengthy and gabby third-act makes Tanu Weds Manu's running time of 2 hours and 15 minutes longer than it is. It's a shame for a script that has previously recognized the strength of communicating in silence or subtlety.

    Some of the best scenes in the movie do not involve any talking. Rai captures the simplicity of eye contact and an innocuous smile in the scene when Manu helps Tanu pick a pair of earrings or her wedding lehenga. Even the talkie portions are on the crisp, terse side before Jimmy Shergill [ Images ] comes in to spoil the party and go on and on about what a threat he is. That last scene could have simply done away with all that filmi bak bak. Jimmy's verbal shimmy aside, Tanu Weds Manu is a pleasant experience for most part.

    A scene from Tanu Weds ManuWedding celebrations often make for a dazzling backdrop in romantic capers, be it Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! or Band Baaja Baarat. Tanu Weds Manu, too, employs the joie de vivre vibe to create resplendent song and dance spectacle with much help from Krsna's effervescent score ranging from thumping bhangra to rousing Sufi.

    Besides its two titular characters, Tanu Weds Manu is blessed with an almost flawless supporting cast of actors like Deepak Dobriyal [ Images ] as Manu's fretful, fast-talking pal, Pappi. He's especially droll in the Jai Mata Di sequence while haggling with a utility services attendant. On Tanu's side, you sit up and take notice of Swara Bhaskar as her blunt and plucky BFF alongside Eijaz Khan [ Images ] as her fiery 'n' fun groom. Reliable veterans like K K Raina, Rajendra Gupta and Navni Parihar competently fill in the shoes of Tanu and Manu's concerned yet harmless parents.

    In a candid moment, Manu's father tells Pappi that he'll be happy if his son gets married and settles down but even if he chooses not to, 'Main apne ghar mein khushi se baitha hoon.' That's Tanu Weds Manu for you. It doesn't take offense at anything but will charm you anyway.

    Review: ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ is a simple story colourfully told


    Spicezee Bureau


    There is something about stories based in small towns. Even though the backdrop has been used in several films in the past, they somehow manage to strike a chord every time. ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ is one of such films.




    Set in the town of Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, ‘Tanu weds Manu’ narrates the story of Tanu( Kangna Ranaut) who is in love with a local goon of Lucknow (played fantastically by Jimmy Shergill) but is being forced by her family to get married to a NRI doctor (R Madhavan). Although in love with our heroine, Manu decides to help Tanu to get her love only to confuse her further about whom actually she is in love with.

    Did anyone say ‘Jab We Met’? Even though similarities between the two films are glaring in some parts, the film manages to create a separate identity for itself. Director Anand L Rai manages to create a colourful backdrop of a small town with some very interesting characters. In many of the scenes, you smile thinking about someone you know, who resembles one of the characters in the film. Anant Rai not only manages to create a small town atmosphere with extended families, friends, and even local goons amply thrown in, but he also manages to make each character distinct from each other.

    The story tends to lag a bit in the second half but picks up momentum near the climax. Amongst the actors, R Madhavan pulls off the sweet shy Manu’s role with élan. While watching him on screen, one can’t help but wonder that why such a talented actor is not seen that often in Hindi films. The film presents Kangna in a new avatar as a small town motor-mouth girl, who doesn’t mind taking a nip of alcohol before meeting a prospective groom. It’s a welcome change to see her in such a role. She was being type casted into doing roles of alcoholics, depressive women (‘Gangster’, ‘Woh Lamhe’, ‘Fashion’) for a long time now.

    Maddy’s best buddies in the film, actors Deepak Dobriyal and Eijaz Khan add few laughs in the whole set up and play their part well. Jimmy Shergill as Kangna’s boyfriend does a brilliant job as a Lucknowi goonda. Music by Krsna, which is already ruling the charts, is enjoyable.

    Watch it for just fun. There are certain loopholes in the story, but you can easily ignore them because the characters instantly connect with the audience.

    Rating: Three cheers for this one!

    Masand: 'Tanu Weds Manu' is bizarre

    Cast: Kangana Ranaut, R Madhavan

    Director: Anand Rai
    ...
    Unpredictability is usually a good thing when it comes to movies, but 'Tanu Weds Manu' is unpredictable to the point of being bizarre.

    R Madhavan plays London-settled Dilliwala Manu Sharma who falls hopelessly in love with the girl his parents have selected for him, the moment he first sees her. No problem there, except that the girl Tanu Tripathi, played by Kangana Ranaut, happens to be unconscious during their first meeting. Creepy, some would say.

    In tracking the haphazard romance between Tanu and Manu, this film travels like a video diary through North India: from Kanpur to Lucknow to Meerut to New Delhi to Punjab. This gives the narrative a charming touch, but that thrill fades quickly. And you notice the hitch almost immediately - 'Tanu Weds Manu' suffers from a painful 'Jab We Met' hangover.

    Chattering nineteen to the dozen and wholly spontaneous, Tanu could be a distant cousin of Kareena Kapoor's Geet. Yet where Geet was endearingly goofy, Tanu comes across as plain selfish. One minute she's ordering Manu to call off their engagement so she can run off with her boyfriend, the next, she's leading him on shamelessly when she runs into him at a friend's wedding. And yet, just why she's so rebellious remains a mystery to you.

    Don't spare any sympathy for Manu. He's stuck in the 'silently suffering romantic-hero' stereotype. In short, he's a big bore. He continues to pine for Tanu knowing full well she's already committed, he convinces her parents to approve of the man she wants to marry, he even accompanies her to buy a wedding dress. Sure his puppy-dog devotion yields results. But not before the script takes so many harebrained twists and turns that nothing can surprise you anymore. On the upside, Kangana Ranaut is a pleasant surprise in a cheery, upbeat part that we haven't seen her take on before. She rises to the challenge, only hampered occasionally by her mangled dialogue delivery. R Madhavan, meanwhile, stuck in a thankless role is endearing at first, but is reduced to a doormat by the end of the film. And it's hard to root for a pushover. But the winning performance in this film comes from Deepak Dobriyal (of Omkara) who offers a hilarious, uninhibited turn as Manu's best friend and confidant, and just watching him react to Manu's obsession with Tanu are some of the film's best moments. In contrast Jimmy Shergill, as a friend Manu makes along the way, turns scowling into a fashion statement, over-reacting all the way.

    'Tanu Weds Manu' isn't all bad. There are portions in the first half that enjoyable. But held together by a fractured script, they fail to take good shape.

    I'm going with two out of five for director Anand Rai's 'Tanu Weds Manu'. It's got some fine moments. Unfortunately they're few and far between.

    Rating: 2 / 5

    Hilarious comedy comment by someone on IMDB for tanu weds manu

    dumb original film, 24 February 2011
    Author: chirag_shah775 from United States

    "This film is original and different and that's why it doesn't work! We want cliché, singing/dacing bollywood fims like Dabbang, TMK, Singh is king, Housefull, and Om shanti om...The problem with this movie is that it tries to be too creative and different when most Indians don't want Indian cinema to get too innovative. That's why we find films like this, udaan, love sex dhoka, dhobi "crap", and do dooni chaar to be boring (Rishi sucks now)...Indians want entertaining films not films that have depth (That's for Hollywood people)...For Indian cinema to grow we need to make more entertaining films and make what we are best at: MASALA COMMERCIAL ENTERTAINERS...This film doesn't work for me...

    The story is confusing, the screenplay is brilliant and the direction is perfect...Bollywood isn't supposed to be like that."
