Directed by Anand L. Rai, Tanu Weds Manu Returns is a sequel to the film Tanu Weds Manu (2011), in which stars Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan reprise their roles from the original. The music and background score is composed by Krsna Solo and the lyrics are penned by Raj Shekhar. Ranaut's portrayal of a Haryanvi athlete and in a double role has received wide critical acclaim.

The film begins where its prequel ends with Tanu and Manu living a happy married life. Nearly four years after the marriage, the couple looses interest in each other. Separating sourly, Tanu returns to her hometown, lighting Kanpur up with her wild-child Bohemian ways while Manu mopes on Delhi until he meets Haryanvi athlete Kusum — who resembles Tanu. The film revolves around the comic love triangle between Tanu, Manu and Kusum.

Good film

Kangana has acted really well. At its heart, the film aims at exploring human relationships and it does stir your heart.

Real take

It is a very interesting film and quite close to reality. However, it has bits of the quintessential Bollywood masala that keeps it going.

Nice drama

I like the concept of the film and I think it is way better than its prequel. This film is more character-driven, but they only help in shaping the story better. It is a one-time watch, but a must-watch nevertheless.
