Why Indian Movie "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" Is Not Overrated

Well, it is not at all Overrated. Why? Here you go:

  • Critics changed their rating standards for the movie. 4.5 stars of 5 is really a big deal.
  • Production Cost: ₹30 crore, Collection in just six days: ₹98 crore, still counting.
  • Audience loved it

This was from a general audiences pov. Lets see it with Greater Depth:

  • Pre Production written amazingly, Dialogues Superb and on top of that do fair job with 3 act structure of a story.

  • Production:
  1. Cinematography: Amazing Lighting
    Notice the use of Practical Lights in the Background to add Depth and Bokeh, for a cinematic look.
  2. Acting: Kangana, She did an amazing and fair job with both of her characters. Often it becomes difficult to act differently with same characters in small spam of time. Deepak (Pappi), he is the one who took the flow of narrative. If we hide his punches the movie would have gone very slow and boring, his acting was amazing and very natural especially the part 'Good Question' in DU seminar. Jimmy, i am a fan of him after watching the film, what a wonderful acting typical UP man. He just nailed it. Others did a fair job in terms of acting.
  3. Tracks: with Haryanavi lyrics, music is successful with the narrative flow as well as setting a new trend in general audience, which is very much necessary to spread words about the movie.

  • Post Production:
  1. Editing: Pace is maintained throughout, audience is curious always to know what will happen next? Parallel cutting between both Tanu and Manu's story is great.
  2. Colour Grading: 
    The frames look Crisp, Sharp and Contrasty with a great range of colours. Which is enough to make a film look Gorgeous.

So, the movie which stands on these points is automatically above Average. At last, the Audience is the king to decide which movie is good or not and in my opinion it is not at all overrated.

The movie was a joy to watch. It was like a breath of fresh air. Everything, from dialogues to acting to cinematography, was brilliant. More importantly, the movie depicted the middle-class, which is hard to find in Bollywood films. Just look at the trailer of 'Dil Dhadakne Do'. Some millionaire family on a cruise and talks about gifting 'airplanes'. That's the kind of cinema we can't relate to, regardless of how great the movie is. But Tanu weds Manu Returns is totally relatable.
Thanks!!
