"10 years is not a small time, but it still feels like it was just yesterday - Anand L Rai"

Mumbai, May 23

It has been a decade since Anand L. Rai's "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" made it to the cinema halls.

Marking the milestone, the director shared some behind-the-screen pictures from the sequel. The photos feature Kangana Ranaut, R Madhavan, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub interacting with Anand L. Rai in between the shots.

His post was accompanied by a heartfelt message that read, "10 years is not a small time, but it still feels like it was just yesterday. Lots of love. I love you all very much and I miss you guys."

The third comment read, "Sir part 3 ho jaye kuch achi story ke sath. Ya romantic movie hat ke with srk."

"Tanu Weds Manu Returns" saw Kangana's powerful performance in a memorable double role as Tanu and Datto. She played the quick-witted Tanu on one side and grounded yet strong Datto on the other.

The film had R. Madhavan, Jimmy Shergill, Deepak Dobriyal, Swara Bhaskar, and Eijaz Khan reprising their roles from the 2011 drama "Tanu Weds Manu", with Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub as the new addition to the cast.

The sequel bagged three National Awards - Best Dialogue for Himanshu Sharma and Best Actress for Kangana.

Written by Himanshu Sharma and presented by Color Yellow, "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" has made a distinct mark for itself in the hearts of moviegoers.

With a phenomenal performance at the box office, the sequel became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2015, and the highest-grossing Indian franchises.

Up next, Anand L Rai is working on "Tere Ishq Mein" starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, which will be released in November 2025.

Can't believe it's been 10 years already! This movie was such a breath of fresh air - Kangana's double role was simply outstanding. The chemistry between Tanu and Manu felt so real. Hope part 3 happens soon! 🤞

While I loved the movie, I feel the sequel didn't quite capture the magic of the first part. The story felt a bit forced at times. But Kangana's acting was top-notch as always - she carried the film on her shoulders.

Tanu Weds Manu Returns is my comfort movie! Watched it at least 5 times. The small-town vibes, the dialogues, everything was perfect. Datto's character was so refreshing - wish we had more strong female characters like her in Bollywood today.

The music was the soul of this movie! "Banno" and "Ghani Bawri" are still on my playlist. A.L. Rai knows how to make films that connect with the Indian middle class. Waiting for his next project with Dhanush - their combo always works!

Jimmy Shergill was so underrated in this film! His character's pain was so real. The whole cast was perfect actually. This movie proves you don't need big action scenes or foreign locations to make a hit film - just good storytelling.
