Tanu Weds Manu’s innocence can’t be recaptured says Aanand L Rai, R Madhavan calls it ‘trendsetter’
Tanu Weds Manu
Among them are Aanand L. Rai, R. Madhavan, Kangana Ranaut, Deepak Dobriyal, and Swara Bhasker. A turning point in their lives occurred on February 25, 2011, with the release of Tanu Weds Manu.
Tanu Weds Manu earnestly and lovingly captures the jubilation of a mofussil shaadi. Madhavan’s performance is largely responsible for these characteristics. The emotion just seeps out of it. Madhavan, who has played more overt roles, fits in with the bak-bak spirit with the satisfaction of an actor who wants to stop putting on elaborate performances. As the outspoken extrovert, Kangna Ranaut gets to do all the things that the audience loves to see, like sneaking cigarettes and drinks.
Since it falls on Deepak Dobriyal to make the friend’s role interesting, he gets another chance to demonstrate why he is so highly regarded as an actor. Swara, who plays Kangana’s best friend, is undeniably the show-stopper.
The conversations could have been less plodding. However, it would be unreasonable to expect a wedding reception hall to offer sage advice. Both partners continue to be completely enamoured with each other. We’re just not feeling the love between them. One can’t help but speculate on the results of a marriage between these two odd couples. Windy, huh?
I quote Madhavan: Indeed, a storm had developed. Tanu Weds Manu was a blast to shoot with Aanand L. Rai. The answer is a whopping… twelve! Incredible! Just yesterday, in fact. I will always have a soft spot for Tanu Weds Manu. For the genre of intimate wedding movies, I believe it set the bar pretty high. Between Kangana and Madhavan, I played the role of impartial observer.
Shooting is a fond memory for Aanand L. Rai. We were all younger and more idealistic back then. I can see why filmmaking at a young age would be appealing to you. Tanu Weds Manu has an innocence that, in my opinion, can never be recaptured.
