Flood and Famine are two sides of the same coin.... Heard this idiom before but never understood what it meant? See Tanu weds Manu returns where kanagana demonstrates it perfectly through her "Tanu" and "Kusum" roles.

A much anticipated sequel to the 2011 blockbuster, Tanu weds Manu, this present part isn't much a treat compared to its predecessor.

The Plot in a nutshell talks about marital problems between Tanu and Manu which leads to physical separation and later Manu opting to judicial separation, but ultimately landing up back with Tanu. Though the plot might not be an exciting one, Kanagana's dual role as Tanu and Kusum will keep you awestruck !!!

Not only is the Plot is not such an exciting one, the Plot also suffers from many illogical/irrational conclusions from a reasonable/rational/sensible persons' point of view. But, again as explained supra, the end product can still be accepted just for our Queen's performance.
 
What our Queen does well, the King doesn't. Madhavan puts in nothing more than a descent performance and any more words of appreciation than that would tantamount to what is popularly known as " compelled journalism" ( if I was writing this review for a daily).

It would be quite wrong if it is understood that the movie's only strength is Kanagana's performance. There are other strong points too viz., witty dialogues, constant & subtle humour, Deepak Dobriyal's commendable performance etc., will make the movie more enjoyable.

On the technical side, the movie isn't a great package. A very normal camera work. average music and acceptable editing give no scope to either appreciate or criticise.

Bottom Line : Kangana handling the two diametrically opposite characters in this film, will remind you of Audrey Hepburn critically acclaimed acting in the movie Roman Holiday.
