Continuing its golden run at the box office, Kangana Ranaut and R. Madhavan starrer Tanu Weds Manu Returns has crossed the Rs 100-crore mark worldwide. It is also the first film of 2015 to have enter the Rs 100-crore club.
Directed by Anand L. Rai, Tanu Weds Manu Returns is a sequel to the filmmaker’s 2011 hit film Tanu Weds Manu. It focuses on the rediscovery of love between a married couple, and features Kangana in a double role as a rustic Haryanvi sportsperson Datto and has a supporting cast of actors Jimmy Sheirgill, Deepak Dobriyal and Swara Bhaskar.
Tanu Weds Manu Returns is said to be the highest grossing film of 2015 in term of first week collections at the box office.
In spite of being released on a regular weekend, and not an extended one, and around the IPL season, which is considered a taboo by industry standards, TWMR still managed to cross the 100-crore mark. The film got massive response not only from the critics and audience, but also from the film fraternity.
Released on May 22, the film collected Rs 38.10 crore in its opening weekend.
Thank you soooo very much folks… https://t.co/sMCMGdvjb0
