Movie Review: Tanu Weds Manu

TWM is one of these movies that you go to with low expectations, and come out having had a good time, actually! Shot in small town UP, the screenplay and cinematography is excellent, and evokes poignant memories of a different India a couple of decades back - which is still alive and kicking in most of the small towns all over the heartland. Vividh Bharati, for example.

Kangana as the rebel Tanu and Madhavan as the simple Manu are perfectly cast. Jimmy Shergil looks pretty good in his role too. And while the story is nothing extraordinary, the 2 hour 15 min movie will keep you interested till the end.

A good one time watch, especially for Kangana fans.

One time watch for sure. The ending was not as forceful as I would've liked for a bollywood movie, but the rest of the movie was quite entertaining...

Kangana's hair looks horrendous, to put it as nicely as I can. And she has taken some sort of collagen nonsense to plump up her lips, albeit a job badly done. It looked so far away from a natural pout, which I assume, is what she was going for.
