Why I did not like TANU WEDS MANU RETURNS.. - Page 4

Kangana's performance was good - both as Datto and Tanu. Madhavan was just a total bore loser. Jimmy Shergill was good.

OMG... did you just give a whole new idea for the next part?😆👏 I am totally in for it.😛

I enjoyed the movie a lot but I absolutely agree with you.😊

There were many goof ups in the film

Its not a realistic movie its a very entertaining bollywood movie with brilliant performances. The film is not brilliant the story the script were average. if you want to think then you can find too many faults and lack of logic in it. its the performances and funny dialogues that did wonders. Kangana as tannu and more for Datto made the movie a blockbuster. Sometimes the acting of actors become better than the movie Twmr is one of them. kangana deserve most of the credit for Twmr the movie wouldn't be same without haryanvi Datto. Kangana stole the show the performance alone made the movie a hit.she was brilliant as Tanu too.

the characters weren't convincing enough and many things were left half done.

I had exactly the same issues with the characterisation of the two titular characters. I haven't seen the previous part so I really don't know what they saw in each other when they decided to get married in the first place. But that's quite alright because a lot of things are realised only when two people start living together. However, Tanu behaved unforgivably on various occasions and the only reason I couldn't enjoy the movie to the fullest was that I knew Manu would ultimately choose her given the title of the film. Not that I feel he should've been with Datto either because it was evident that he was basically attracted to her because she reminded him of his wife. There was no progress in their relationship whatsoever and their reunion did not feel organic at all. Love is great but it's not enough to make a marriage work specially after the honeymoon phase runs out. Basically, I enjoyed the movie thoroughly in parts but I left the theatre feeling dissatisfied from story PoV.

Story and script were weak... But Kangana was beyond fab in her roles ... Esp Datto... All of them did their part really well...

I have a different take on this. I felt Manu never really loved Kusum. Like you mentioned, he was attracted to a mature version of Tanu, but in his mind, it was still Tanu and not Datto.They both were going through marital problems and after that SMS Manu sent about hating Tanu, whatever followed was just ego clashes. Manu was waiting for a call back after that divorce notice and Tanu was hesitant about apologizing to him. It is then that both of them lost their sense and became desperate to shift their interest to someone else and not each other and that's why I also did not have a problem with Manu liking Datto so fast,within a few meetings because the way I see, he was still seeing Tanu in Datto because even when Datto runs towards him, he was thinking about what Pappi had said about Tanu coming back to his life.

And I think the director rightfully gave a resolution to the problem.It was only when they were apart from each other with another woman in Manu's life did they realize that their love for each other is beyond the silly arguments they were having in the mental asylum. There are subtle moments included here and there in the film where the director tries to show that they still do care for each other and they still love each other, it's just that Tanu did not want to be tamed and Manu wanted to tame her and all these problems were coming in between the couple. That is why I find it really unfair how only Kangana is being showered with praises.Post interval, Madhavan has excellently portrayed Manu's dilemma over wanting to go back to Tanu, not breaking Datto's heart and also wanting to make Tanu behave like Datto.

And I might be in the minority but I really liked that Manu ended up with Tanu and not Datto. Tanu and Manu both are flawed characters and both had to be given another chance to rectify what went wrong in their marriage. I don't think Tanu went back to her flirting ways after she came back to Kanpur. Yes,she did go back to Awasthi but the way the scenes were shown, atleast I didn't find her falling in love once again with Awasthi. Rai had rushed through the first film, I liked how he gave a different side of Manu in the sequel and showed that finally Tanu and Manu are ready to rectify the problem in the marriage...now how they do it might be another story for a third part.
But I totally bought the way they promoted the movie- Sometimes to find love, you need a part 2 and that's why I am very satisfied which the movie because it delivered what it had promised.

However amidst so many praises, it was really nice to read a detailed criticism of the storyline with many interesting points.👍🏼

Totally agreed with your take. I think Madhavan should be showered with equal amount of praises. IMO the movie belonged to both Kangana and Maddy. Equally. Unfair how she's walking away with all the praise.

Moreover, I also wanted Tanu and Manu together at the end, concur on that point as well.

Want to share my view on this movie...

I hv seen first part and loved it...in second part also I liked
Kangana Madhavan n all cast, acting...dialogues were superb..
'Fighting and realizing the true love' -- concept is good but I did not get convinced the way story shapes...

It was better if Manu had ended up with haryanvi Kangana...at least she seems matured and knew of what she is going into...n could hv handled well if they had fought in future...
The movie ends up with Tanu-Manu confessing love for each other but what next...THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO SOLVE THE BASIC PROBLEM BETWEEN EACH OTHER...which was their compatibility issue due to their different personalities and Tanu's inability to adjust in London's surroundings...

From their initial session with psychologist, Tanu confesses that she regrets leaving her 'happening' life(social) life in India...complaining about new house n surroundings...weird neighborhood of their old south hall house n new house being so far from city that she sees only 4 pigeons n 3 racoons in whole week...so in short she is feeling lonely...she was used to be with so many ppl around but now not a single one..of couse, not her fault...

On top of that her hubby Manu is very unromantic n shy types...of course she knew before he was like that n it was his shyness n boldness to fight for her that had appealed to her in part-1...so she fell in love with him but now she finds him boring...so it made me feel like she had infatuation with Manu... never love...that attraction is also fading away...It sounded like she just fell in 'love' out of impulse but didn't realize what life she was going into...

Though this part- first 10 min of movie was given a humorous touch which I liked too, this was most imp part of movie. I liked it for its realistic nature n for its deep insightful meaning...it was telling viewers - what exactly was the problem between couple? It was actually a message for us that LOVE is not all about just loving physically but getting along with the goods-and-bads of the person and accepting him/ her for the whole life with his/her goodness and flaws...

Manu's part was still convincing..He was the one who was doing everything to keep tanu happy, he openes children's care for her in London which gets closed bcoz tanu tries to booze the kids...He used to invite his friends n families for tanu to hv ppl around...but tanu hits something in one of their guests' head n they stop coming bcoz of her behaviour...
Later he gets attracted to hariyanvi Kangana bcoz she was look a like which was fine... SOME ARGUE BUT I NEVER FELT HE WAS TRYING TO MAKE TANU JEALOUS BY MARRYING KUSUM...in fact., he proposed her much before tanu came back in his life n even after tanu was back, he genuinely wanted to marry Kusum...of couse tanu's presence disturbed him a lil but till end I never felt he has forgiven tanu and wanted her back...He was happy for having a matured Tanu-look-a-like in his life...

Now after getting back to tanu in the climax, WHAT'S guarantee that she will now behave? bcoz throughout the movie, she has not shown a single sign of maturity...

He did the mistake of thinking attraction for Kusum as love...

I DID NOT LIKE TANU'S CHARACTER AT ALL...ok, she was not able to adjust with London life...not her fault...but what was she doing later was COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE...she sends Manu to mental asylum for 4 days (of course she asks his friend to release him..which proves she cared for him...)...she became smoker n alcoholic--may be out of loneliness...but she WAS TOTALLY HITTING ON THAT RICKAWALA-her childhood friend, THE TENANT IN HOUSE and even on JIMMY SHERGIL...she was desperately seeking to get linked with someone..bcoz may be she was missing romance in her life...she comes in 1-piece revealing short dress in front of punjabi guestsn asks them weird questions...Though all these situations were shot in humorous way, deep down it meant tanu is going through some psychological problem...and SHE IS NOT YET TREATED...

Having said that, I meant no disrespect for the people going through psychological problems. But not getting treated is the problem I want to underline...

and when Tanu realizes love for him...when she got to know that he was getting married to some1...unbelievable and unconvincing .bcoz of the FACT that SHE LOOKED VERY HAPPY n CONTENT in her life flirting with jimmy, that tenant and DID NOT MISS MANU AT ALL.

of course, as a hindi movie they had to had an open ending...they won't show what happens next..whether they go back to London n she continues to be alone n psycho...or they stay back in India n he had to find job n he gets frustrated n become psycho...or some third possibility...

BOTTOM LINE is they didn't even discuss or had any heated convo or any argument what went wrong between them before Manu-Kusum wedding...how can Manu know that Tanu is sane now? what would Tanu do if manu decides to go back London? Will she able to adjust to lonely life?

the climax was just like...ok, the 2 love-sick puppies realized they love each other n had to be together IGNORING THE UNSOLVED PROBLEMS WHICH STILL PERSIST...

note my words---IN NEXT 2 YRS, TWM- part 3 will come where Tanu-Manu has a child who has inherited Tanu's psycho manners... n thats why the couple is seeking divorce for child's custody...bcoz Tanu fears her child will become a boring one like his daddy...n Manu feels the child will become eccentric like his mother...
Later in end, Tanu-Manu= 2 love-sick puppies realize the same love for each other, will get united FORGETTING THE CHILD n DECISION ABOUT HIS FUTURE bcoz of whom they wanted separation in the beginning...totally crap...

Don't get bored of my long analysis...but it is my honest opinion..
