A good pass time weekend watch, nothing more and nothing less.



You may look forward to:

• Kangana Ranaut is the star of the movie. There is hardly any scene in the movie which is without her. Double role certainly works wonder for her. Specially in the caricature of 'Datto', her Haryanvi accent is simply mind blowing. She looks good where she has to and appears bold where demanded so. Perfect entertainment package
• Deepak Dobriyal and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub steals the show in terms of comedy scenes, the dialogues written for them and their portrayal is amazing. 'Pappi Ji' is the only enhanced character from the prequel, and new addition of 'Chintu' is like icing to the cake, a perfect addition :)
• The dialogue writer of the movie should be credited the most, as its his dialogues only which works for the movie and the many actors in it. There is absolutely nothing else to the movie, if not the dialogues
• Jimmy Shergill,Eijaz Khan and Swara Bhaskar make up for an incredible supporting star cast, specially that of Jimmy Shergill
• Rest of the supporting cast viz. Rajendra Gupta,Navni Parihar, K.K.Raina, Dipti Mishra and Rajesh Sharma have good roles in parallel worth a mention

What you can sleep over:

• R. Madhavan's role is repetitive, there is nothing new about him. He is the same old grounded, boring and a non happening character, whose job is just to flow with the current
• Goes the same for 'Tanu's' role. Both 'Tanu' and 'Manu', the title characters of the movie do not have much to do in the flick. The movie is actually taken over by the supporting casts instead

The dampeners you should be aware of:

• Practically zero storyline. The prequel had a life in its story. You do feel romance in that rom-com flick. This one misses the romance largely. The story just do not make any sense, right from the exaggerated beginning till the over dramatic end. Why are people doing what they are doing in the film, just makes no sense at all. To add to the fact that both of Tanu's lovers are inclined only for her looks,  damages the character of 'Tanu' entirely
• The first film had beautiful music in it. The music of this one is complete ear sore, some of them unbearable

My Rating: 3/5 (Only for its Comedy)


1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
