A still from Tanu Weds Manu Returns
Bollywood celebrities have loved National Award winner Kangana Ranaut's performance in
Tanu Weds Manu Returns and can't stop raving about her.
At a special screening of the film organised here on Tuesday, a number of celebrities, including filmmakers like Rajkumar Hirani, Anurag Kashyap, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Vishal Bhardwaj, Farah Khan and Gauri Shinde, were all praise for the film.
They not only heaped praises for Kangana's endearing act in the film, but also praised the direction.
For them, Kangana and
Tanu Weds Manu Returns are a winner this year.
"It's a fantastic film. It's a great story and very well-directed. You just watch it. It's a great film," Rajkumar Hirani said.
Anurag Kashyap, whose
Bombay Velvet elicited a lukewarm response, said, "
Tanu Weds Manu Returns is an outstanding film. The sequel is so much better than the prequel." Talking about Kangana's twin character Datto, he said "it is one of the finest characters I have ever seen".
"All performances were very good. I never laughed so much. This film will make you go 'mad'," he added.
"
Tanu Weds Manu Returns" is a sequel to Aanand L Rai's 2011 hit film
Tanu Weds Manu. Kangana has a double role in the movie.
National Award winner Tigmanshu Dhulia also found the sequel entertaining.
"It is very beautiful, entertaining and a notch higher than the prequel. It's very layered and sweet film. It's a winner," he said.
English Vinglish director Gauri Shinde was all praise for Kangana's 'rocking performance'.
"Kangana rocks. She is fantastic. It is difficult to decide on one character. She rocked completely. Even if there is a triple role, she will rock," Gauri Shinde said.
Farah Khan loved the film to the core. She was so impressed with Deepak Dobriyal's performance in the film that she said, "I want to adopt him. He is so good in the film. The film is outstanding. I loved it. It is so funny. Kangana is awesome in the film. R Madhavan, Deepak Dobriyal are also good. This year Kangana rocks again."
Tanu Weds Manu Returns also co-stars Jimmy Shergill and Swara Bhaskar. It will hit screens this Friday.
