Normally bollywood mainstream and commercial mega bumpers should not find mention in this Blog. However the unique and ensemble cast of Tanu weds Manu returns is what forces one to actually make note..Minus Kangana, none of the actors are actually commercial mainstream cinema stars
What I loved about the film in addition to the fact that it's a brilliant movie with great performances, the movie has given a clear characterisation and scope to all other character actors....Most of them are theater actors who have carved a niche for themselves in performance based movies and not the 100 cr club gate crashers ..
let's talk about the characters a bit more in detail
Do you guys remember "Om prakash Sangwan" ..Dattos elder brother, played by theater and Bengali movies established actor, Rajesh Sharma...Om prakash Sangwan had one solid scene in the movie where you come to know the characters plot...why a jaat from jhajhar, leaves his village and ancestral home to support his younger sister dreams of achieving something in sports.....The liberal Jaat brother who's not against inter caste marriage....Sharma, burst on bollywood scene with Khosla ka Ghosla....as Munjaal, assistant to Boman irani..his other notable roles have been in" Special 26", "No one killed Jessica"
Pappi bhaiSahab, as the adorable and lovable friend..The kind of friend in everybody's friend circle who is always unlucky in love..Never stops trying, the frustrated Aashiq,Deepak Dobriyal just steals the show with his childlike innocence, brazen instinct for love, and tongue in cheek humour..Deepak has been performing in delhi theaters for a long time..I can't help but remember some of his brilliant scenes and dialogues from the movie. ......
"You are a Good Question"
"Humaari colony ki do nicker waali ladkiyon ne Humein propose kya tha...par unhe chhod hum tumhaare pass aa gaye"
"Hum 34 saal ke hai is liye ...agar 26 saal ke hotey, to tumhe puchtey bhi nahin "
Or when he goes to get madhavan out from the mental asylum in London and on commenting about the dress & madhavans response to the funny comment, Puppy bhaiSahabs line " arre his humour is running " suggesting that a madhavan looked fit
The scene where Madhavan and his father are discussing about the marriage and divorce issue...is nothing short if cult stuff..Imagine MK raina, an old man with a small pony tail having a drink with his son and asking to manage life with a nagging wife....is one of the coolest father son discussion ever on a matter as grave as divorce and marital issues
Swara bhaskar, another Delhi theater trained artist who plays Payal, Tanus friend is good in her role and does full justice
zeeshan ayub, as the law student who refuses to go out of Tanus house and later her life, is a typical UP bhaiya who goes senti after a girl and then acts as the typical lose and scorned lover.Zeeshan ayub, has been part of movies like "No One Killed Jessica" where he played Manu Sharma & "Raanjhana".
Kanganas stand out scene has been the one where she comes out draped in just a towel to meet the prospective groom for her sister and does a " Namaste" jig to all in her towel....
The Highlight of the film clearly has to be Datto..Datto is a character that has never before been played on silver screen ever before and I am not too sure that can be created ever again..Datto or Kumari Kusum Sangwan, from District Jhajhar, Haryana...who is proud to say "State level atheletes Hun"..While all bollywood movies that have ever been characterised on Characters based on Haryana have been brain hackers for most part...With the often repeated, crude crass, depiction and often reflecting the pathetic quality of characterisation, detailing and layering of characters...All Haryanvi characters have been used as caricatures ...With some words thrown in between.....like " Tanne" "Manne".."re tauu".."key baat sey".....always depicting brainless character sketching
Dattos character is probably the 1st and I hope not the last time, that the character is not larger than the human...All human beings and their emotions of love, care , respect are universal and similar, but it's the communication and sensibilities that are different....Kumari Kusum Sangwan character is one of the most well crafted, brilliantly detailed, and we'll researched characters of a young Haryanvi girls who is bold yet traditional, who is modern yet conservative, who is gutsy yet very touchy.....Brilliant on screen performance....
Kangana.....Datto is your best work to date........
