Never judge a book by it's cover, they say. Never judge a film by it's teasers, I say! With all the reality shows on the idiot box, marketing a movie has become really easy. And the slickly edited promos make the job really difficult for the audiences to judge the movie.
If you haven't seen Tanu weds Manu as yet, take my word for it...do not waste ur time or money! If u want to decide for urself, go ahead, watch it, just don't tell me, I didn't warn u!
The movie opens with London based Manoj Sharma (Madhavan)coming to India to get married. His parents have lined up a bevy of girls for him to "see" and "select". First girl he meets is the Kanpur based Tanuja Trivedi (Kangana R), who, he, falls in love with...without even exchanging a word! The kahani mein twist is that Tanu is in love with someone else, what follows is useless nonsense.
Madhavan is completely wasted in the insipid role. Jimmy Shergill, likewise. Ravi Kishen is in blink and miss role. The only saving grace are Deepak Dobriyal & Swara Bhaskar, both of whom are very fine actors. About the rest, less said the better.
The music of the movie does not help it either. "Rangrez", with it's Sufi bent manages to make a mark. The movie also gives us the wedding anthem of the season with "saadi galli".
