Tanu Weds Manu Returns
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Evoking a new-age Hrishikesh Mukherjee, Rai keeps things tight, light, yet layered - and handles two leading ladies, one of whom deserves an extra half-star.
-
Kudos to the director for helming such a close-to-reality situation with dollops of humour and charting the course of each and every character with a passion that goes beyond the art of good film-making.
-
Easily one of the year’s best. Another fine feather in Kangana Ranaut’s flourishing hat.
-
...a must watch, especially for Kangna's spellbinding performance, outstanding plot and amazing one-liners.
-
Watch Tanu Weds Manu Returns if you love Bollywood. watch it if you follow Bollywood. and if you look down upon Bollywood, watch the movie to see how entertaining the industry can be.
-
The authenticity in the writing (Himanshu Sharma) is perhaps the reason practically all the actors in the film leave a mark. The wit and repartee is absolutely top class.
-
...is not merely superior to its predecessor but the flamboyance and fun it provides is an implication we're not quite done with this mad duo and their quirky universe yet.
-
...a crowd-pleaser in every sense of the term.
-
The strong writing is complimented by equally strong performances.
-
...is easily the funniest movie of the year so far.
-
Even though Kangana has evidently grown by leaps and bounds in confidence over the five years since she starred in the original, the same can not be said about the sequel.
-
Despite all its flaws, watch it for the one-woman-show of Kangana Ranaut.
-
...vindicates the general belief that Kangana is currently in a zone where she can do no wrong.
-
...we are too busy watching an actress stride through its ups and downs, earning each scene, and the film. I would buy a ticket for Kangana Ranaut.
-
Director Aanand L. Rai shows his mastery in handling the small town north India milieu in every scene. While the story often indulges in flights of fancy, the director keeps a firm grip on his actors.
-
Watch it for the leading lady, watch it to feel light-hearted and light-headed.
-
She’s (Kangana Ranaut) also the main reason the film is—even at its silliest—very watchable.
-
Defying the law of diminishing returns, it is a double delight from Kangana.
-
The music will not leave your head in a hurry, and the performances will wow you. But Tanu Weds Manu Returns isn't likely to remain with you as film, because of its rather ludicrous plot.
-
...is half a good movie, and half a dunderhead. If you consider both halves of this movie like a couple, then one of them surely needed to give some love and affection to the other before the fuse blew.
-
Rai, who also made Raanjhanaa in 2013, confirms his ability to conjure up a convincing small-town milieu characterised by clamour and kitsch, but his tendency to cram his frames with lots of people crisscrossing the screen, overlapping dialogue and insistent background music results in a sensory overdose.
-
While the first half is pacy, fun and eventful and spearheaded fabulously by Ranaut, the second is a disappointment. Devoid of ideas to reach the inevitable climax...
-
This isn't the first time Rai has left us gasping for more at interval point, only to overindulge with his treasure trove of actors.
-
Despite its jumbled story and this undercurrent of misogyny, it’s hard to write off the film. Because when the going gets good the dialogues are killers and because of the immaculate acting.
-
Double Kangana but only half the fun.
-
A romance that struggles to measure up to its heroine’s performance.
