Aanand L Rai Pens Emotional Note As Tanu Weds Manu Returns Clocks 10 Years
Last Updated:
The film starred Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan as the leads.
It has been a whole decade since Aanand L Rai and Colour Yellow released one of Bollywood's most daring and beloved rom-com sequels, Tanu Weds Manu Returns. The film hit theatres in 2015 and quickly became a classic, celebrated for its hilariously chaotic and entertaining depiction of imperfect love.
To mark the 10-year milestone, director Aanand L Rai shared a touching Instagram post filled with behind-the-scenes memories. He wrote, '10 saal kam nahi hote par phir bhi aise lag raha hai jaise kal ki hi baat thi. Bahut saara pyar. Love you and miss you guys. @kanganaranaut @actormaddy @deepakdobriyal1 @jimmysheirgill @mohdzeeshanayyub #HimanshuSharma #TanuWedsManuReTurns10 #10YearsOfTanuWedsManuReturns 💛 @cypplofficial."

The film starred Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan as the leads. Kangana Ranaut's unforgettable performance as the fiery Tanu and the fierce yet grounded Datto, alongside R Madhavan's endearing and sometimes confused Manu, made this film a pop culture milestone. The crackling chemistry, messy drama, and memorable one-liners we still quote with pride made it a standout. The film also won three National Awards, including Best Dialogue for Himanshu Sharma and Best Actress for Kangana's outstanding performance.
Written by Himanshu Sharma and backed by Colour Yellow, Tanu Weds Manu Returns was notable for its sharp writing, richly developed characters, and refreshingly realistic take on love. The ensemble cast, featuring Jimmy Shergill, Deepak Dobriyal, Swara Bhasker, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, added to its charm, making it more than just an entertaining story—it became an emotion.
Ten years later, we still root for Tanu and Manu, and for the filmmaker who brought their story to life. Rai is already onto his next projects, with Tere Ishk Mein arriving in November 2025 and Tu Yaa Main coming on Valentine's Day next year.
