I have often observed on my visits to the West that people living overseas are far more seeped in Indian ethnic values, customs, festivities and rituals, when compared to a lot many Indians living in Hindustan. Those who live there believe that by observing and practicing the Indian traditions, they would continue to remain Indian at heart. Most of them also wish to wed an Indian because they consider that their respective spouse would bringRead full review3.0

Been there, done that? Yes, the first thing that strikes you about Tanu Weds Manu is a striking sense of familiarity. It wasn't long before you saw Shahid Kapoor playing a similar sacrificial lover to Kareena Kapoor in Jab We Met. And like poor Kareena, who tries too sort out her confused emotions against the backdrop of the big fat Punjabi wedding, Tanu too must decide who is better husband material, first amidst the hustle bustle of her best friend'sRead full review3.0

A London-based Delhi boy and his family arrive at a Kanpur household kicking off a vibrant ruckus of prattle and curiosity. Following a black eye fix from a local ruffian at the railway station, the jittery visitor and Co. lose some of their inhibitions after they're greeted by a naked tot waving at them with a cutesy, 'Aaiye, aaiye.' Meanwhile, the typically enthusiastic hosts indulge them with obligatory chit-chat and (presumably) Thaggu's ladoos.Read full review3.0

Fun while it lasts, Tanu Weds Manu throws up Bollywood’s newest obsession — small town girls and their gunas (values) — once again. A meatier storyline and a less messed up climax would have worked wonders for the film.Read full review3.0

They reveal a rapidly expanding new India, with a newer, more confident voice. An outsider’s persistence and talent are finally turning out to be fine levelers. Doors of their workplace don’t appear locked from the inside anymore. Small town is subsequently big. In Bollywood. As in cricket. Wedding’s the other middle Indian obsession. That’s what this film’s about. You should definitely take these guys up on the invitation.Read full review2.5

Tanu Weds Manu, more or less, is a 'Jab We Met' meets 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hain' story. Every time 'Jab' some Tanu has 'met' some Manu in Bollywood, story mein ' kuch kuch hota hain' . Kya hota hain? A love triangle! The girl is already engaged to hero no.2. She will take her own sweet time to identify true love and wait till the wedding day to run into the arms of hero no.1. And that's when hero no.2 will have a face-off with hero no.1 but will finally approveRead full review2.5

Why should you watch Tanu Weds Manu? For R Madhavan who will win you heart as a sweet lovable NRI doctor Manu who has the misfortune of falling in love with a Kanpur-girl Tanu (Kangna 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 TanujaRead full review2.5

If you are looking for a great romantic comedy, this is not the one, but watch it for Madhavan and his chemistry with Deepak.Read full review2.0

R Madhavan plays London-settled Dilliwala Manu Sharma who falls hopelessly in love with the girl his parents have selected for him, the moment he first sees her. No problem there, except that the girl Tanu Tripathi, played by Kangana Ranaut, happens to be unconscious during their first meeting. Creepy, some would say. In tracking the haphazard romance between Tanu and Manu, this film travels like a video diary through North India: from Kanpur to LucknowRead full review2.0

At the onset, Tanu Weds Manu looks like a typical simple-boy-meets-wild-girl formula film. Tanu Trivedi (Ranaut) smokes, drinks, mouths expletives and does everything that is rebellious enough to put people off. Her friend and philosopher Payal (Bhaskar) tries to be the voice of reason by giving an occasional dose of advice. Enter Dr Manu Sharma, an NRI on a mission to India — find a bride. That when Tanu meets Manu (yawn!)Read full review2.0

London-based Manu is in India to choose a suitable bride. Kanpur girl Tanu has no intention of getting into an arranged marriage. Manu is almost unbelievably saintly. Tanu is almost excessively fiery. The two are chalk and cheese, just right for a rollicking rom com. But that’s exactly what we don’t get in `Tanu Weds Manu’ : a range of interesting supplementary acts distract us from the lead pair whose rocky path to the `mandap’ we are meant to followRead full review2.0

Tanu Weds Manu is enjoyable as long as it lasts, but doesn’t stay with you as you walk out of the theatre. Watch if you must, but only for the performances. We recommend you wait for the TV premiere.Read full review2.0
