Tanu weds Manu Movie Review
Film: Tanu Weds Manu
Starring: R Madhavan,Kangna Ranaut,Jimmy Shergill
Director: Anand L Rai
Producer: Vinod Bachchan,Shailesh R Singh,Surya Singh
Banner: Viacom 18 Motion Pictures Paramhans Creations and
Music: Krsna
RATING: 2.75/5
Why should you watch "Tanu Weds Manu"? For R. Madhavan who will win your heart as a sweet lovable NRI doctor Manu who has the misfortune of falling in love with a Kanpur-girl Tanu (Kangana Ranaut) who not only rejects him as a suitor but also uses him to elope with her ruffian boyfriend.
Hiding his heartbreak and disappointment behind a smile, Madhavan fits into the role of a goody goody NRI like a glove. He is hopelessly in love with Tanuja who doesn't miss a single opportunity to hurt him. Rules, they say, are meant to be broken and that's what Tanu's agenda in life is - to break all rules that a middle-class family swears by.
Well, an NRI coming home to find a suitable bride for him is very common in Indian society and director Anand Rai's comedy opens with the same. He tries to be as close to reality as possible - from the backdrop, to clothes, to character artists - all bring out the element of a middle-class setup perfectly.
With a marriage in the background providing a perfect place for Tanu's second chance meeting with Manu, the movie traces the relationship between the girl and the NRI. Surely, perfect material for sentimental romances with 'comedy ka tadka'.
But there is something missing to make it a perfect romantic comedy. First, the script is punctured, then thier is no on screen chemistry between Madhavan and Kangana and if that was not enough, the narrative doesn't flow at the desired pace - it's slower than it should be.
Though the director picked up an interesting subject, he has not succeeded in executing his story effectively on-screen - there are not enough laughs in the film. Whatever funny scenes are there, credit goes to the chemistry between Madhavan and Deepak Dobriyal who plays his friend Pappi.
Kangana's dialogue delivery puts you off and she lacks the spunk and spark to play the free bird that she is in the movie. In fact, Swara Bhaskar, who plays her friend Payal, holds the fort as the Bihari girl who is marrying a sardarji (Eijaz Khan) who also happens to be Manu's best friend.
Payal is impressed with Manu and even tries to drill some sense into Tanu's head but Tanu, a rebel, doesn't want to admit her feelings for the man who is picked by her parents.
Critics won't appreciate the plot but Madhavan fans would find enough material to enjoy the film.
Music plays an important role in a wedding-based romantic comedy and the director could have got it right if he had opted for fast-paced peppy numbers.
In the performance department, full marks go to Madhavan, Deepak and Swara. The supporting cast of K.K. Raina, Rajendra Gupta and Navni Parihar don't have much to do, but whatever role they have, they carry it well. Jimmy Shergill as Kangana's ruffian boyfriend is wasted, so is Ravi Kishen as his sidekick.
If you are looking for a great romantic comedy, this is not the one but watch it for Madhavan and his chemistry with Deepak.

Dum Maro Dum Movie Stills Photos Dum Maro Dum Movie Story Trailer Dum Maro Dum Movie Release
rana daggubati new movie Dum Maaro Dum 2011 Movie first look posters, dum maro dum wallpapers, dum maro dum movie release date on 22 April 2011, Abhishek Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Rana Daggubati, Prateik Babbar, Aditya Pancholi, dum maro dum hindi movie posters
Goa tourism director Swapnil Naik has opined that the Goa Government should look into the matter, particularly because the movie was extensively shot in the coastal state. “Movie buffs consider movies as true depiction whether it is based on fiction or true stories. Movies based on sensitive issues should be properly scanned and viewed before its release,” he said.
Naik said that since Dum Maro Dum is based on Goa’s underbelly and may show Goa negatively.He said Goa government should ensure that the movie is not an exaggerated portrayal.The tourism industry fears that the movie which revolves around drug nexus, sex, beach life and other activities, will impede Goa’s tourism.“The movie’s objectionable parts should be censored. We cannot afford to take any more bad publicity when the State is trying to overcome the past. We cannot afford to lose our visitors coming from all over the world at the cost of this movie,” Travel and Tourism Association of Goa (TTAG) president Ralph D’Souza said.
The movie starring Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukon, Bipasha Basu and Aditya Pancholi was extensively shot in Goa last year.TTAG, a body representing hospitality and travel sector in Goa has been facing tough competition from other tourist destinations like Thailand, Malaysia and Srilanka and also places from within the country.“Incidents of drugs, rapes are touted internationally but the good about Goa is never highlighted. After a couple of criminal cases against few foreigners, people considered Goa as an unsafe tourist destination, which is absolutely not the case. Goa is a much safer hub for Goans and its guests here,” an official said.
The apprehensive Goa police on Tuesday asked DMD director Rohan Sippy to show them the promotional and publicity materials of the film before its release.The movie’s official spokesperson from Mumbai said that the movie is based on whatever happened in Goa in the recent past.“We conducted a thorough study before shooting the movie in Goa. Although the request from Goa police came in late, we are ready to show the film’s footage to Goan authorities,” she said adding that the movie trailers have been released in the theatres on Friday.
