O womania....!!!

Tanu weds Manu ...and they lived happily ever after ....or so .. that has been the happy ending that our Bollywood has been purveying us for so long and so forth. But the difference is Tanu is not the conventional Bollywood girl here. She is a liberal, independent, argumentative and one who knows her rights and wrongs.

The movie starts with the afteryears of a passionate love marriage between two opposites. But after not quite so long ..the couple discovers that opposites attraction has withered away and the normal humdrums of a married life creeps in. The complains of wife for a husband for not being a energy meter and the complains of husband for the wife being uninterested in sex could have been a normal post marriage story...except here. When the lady protaganist (read Tanu) decides to leave him in a mental asylum and take a break do decide for future course of action. 

The movie takes twisty turn from there as the male protaganist (read Manu) falls in love with a lookalike of Tanu (Datto) after a divorce notice from her wife. 

For the sae of spoilers alert I would not venture into the story part of it any further as it would underminde the trust of those who wait for a better print version to be released on torrent ;) 

It is always tougher to improve upon the prequel as the expectations are already high but he movie is an excellent improvement from its prequel Tanu Weds Manu all across the sections i.e. dialogues, acting, script or anything for that matter.

The success of TWMR exemplifies that films with women in leading role can also make a moolah at the box office. Bollywood which lost its way in 80s and 90s is now again waking from the slumber and giving the actressess their long due space in the industry.
