Review of Tanu Weds Manu: Returns (2015) by Maits — 02 Sep 2016

I wanted to watch this movie in the first place because I saw it's music videos in YouTube and I really liked them. As a bollywood fan the music made me watch both films, the first one (Tanu weds Manu) and the second one (Tanu weds Manu returns). The first one had a pretty simple story, and lots of times I felt anger by the way Tanu treated Manu, but everything settled down in the end and that's it for a love story. I was so eager to watch the second movie that I really didn't care much if it was good or not.

Ok, watched TWMR, and I can't even tell how frustrating the movie is. The actress was pretty good and she really did a good job, but I really hate Tanu. Kusum is a good girl, she treats other people very well and is trying to be a good athlete, but Tanu always acts like a spoiled brat; she's so annoying! I couldn't handle the ending of the movie, it's so bad. If Manu was to stay with Tanu again, it could have been done another way, not putting another person between the couple, only for the audience to watch Kusum cry so bad, that people won't even be happy by Tanu and Manu being together again. Not only that, there's a lot of other things that ruin the movie like: Kusum's stupid little brother (Not the one she lives with) and her ignorant family; Tanu playing with Raja's feelings again (and other people's feelings too); when they kidnap Komal to marry Pappi, Manu's friend (WTF? Do you really think she's going to marry if you kidnap her? REALLY?)...

I know the movies (the first one and the second) try to tell us that it is all "destiny", and it can't be helped, "they are going to stay together forever", but it is not enough for you to like their love story.

I kind enjoyed watching the movie, it was fun, the actress is good and the music is good too, but the story is lame, the ending is lame, Tanu and Manu are both lame and their love story is lame. I didn't feel happy that they ended together.
