Tanu Weds Manu Returns has done the unthinkable at the domestic box office on its first weekday. The Monday collections of the film was a little more than its Friday business, even though the ticket prices at multiplexes was about 20-30% lower.
What’s more, the industry finally has a runaway blockbuster after nearly 6-7 months of epic disasters, flops and films that just about managed to recover costs – with the exception of PK, which was expected to be a major grosser anyway.
The outstanding collections on Monday has also pretty much ensured that ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’ will be the first 100 crore grosser of 2015. While expected 100 crore grossers like ‘Gabbar Is Back’, ‘Baby’ and the expensive ‘Bombay Velvet’ have fallen short of the mark, Tanu Weds Manu Returns, a film made on just Rs 31 crore (including print and advertising), has exceeded expectations.
The big advantage for the film is that it has one more open week at the box office. Also, the ongoing IPL season has now ended. So the benefit that ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ was likely to get, will now belong to ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’. If it sustains well in Week 2, then the film could even cross the 125 crore mark!

Best scenes of kangana in tanu weds manu returns
*tanu’s dance at the an unknown wedding in the song move on.That walk those eyes, expression WOW.
*Datto’s entry scene when she jumps on Manu and those haryanvi dialogues.
*Datto’s short intro ending with phone no mai doon ko na. Hilarious
*Datto say to manu that they should end their growing realtion and her outburst after that.
*The argument scene of Datto with her brother who slaps her for bringing manu to their village.
*Swagger sexy song and datto’s dance. Can’t take your eyes of her
* Tanu and Datto confrontation. datto steals that part with those heavy dialogues
*Tanu’s drinking walk in the night. trying that wig to look like datto. Done brilliantly by kangana.
* Ghani baawri song and those melting eyes of tanu.
* emotional breakdown of datto after her marriage with manu is called off.
and many many more. Its an out of the box knock out perfroamnce by kangana and she deserves all accolades coming towards her.
It seems that kangana is a bigger crowd puller then ajay & akki
simply majestic!
expected collections
1st week 70cr
2nd week 50cr
lifetime 140cr
Trailer was fantastic, kangana’s first release after winning national award and great WOM has helped this film big time. Infact it won’t be wrong to say this is kangana’s Dabangg.
After release of Dabangg in 2010 Salman reached a big level of super-stardom and this film looks to do the same for Kangana as well.
We just hope this is just the start of era of kangana and she keep continuing the good work.
HUMONGOUS!
TANU, MANU AND DATTO RULES!!!!
Great start
Congrats to whole team
So Sad to see Kangana crossing my films JTHJ,Don 2 and RaOne’s collections although all those films released on Diwali/Xmas.
I am worried!
It will do well in third week despite DDD releasing as that looks like a poorly made crap trying desperately hard to be modern but it wont cut the mustard with audiences. TWMR will dominate for two more weeks…
Shame on akshay followers who gave us immence headache on twitter and other social media with “BABY is coming” then “Baby is greatest movie and class” then ” Baby is a hit in fact” …then same fake noise continued for 60 days for Gabbar is back…….SEE AKHSAY BLIND FANS.. WHAT IS ACTING AND CLASS in Tanu weds manu returns and forget C grade akshay films
simply outstanding!
@neeraj, don’t forget to mention Ranbir Kapur.
akshay fans be like: but but…akki has done “class” movies…unfortunately akki is not a class actor
First week 65 crore
Remaining weeks 40-45 crore
Lifetime 110 crore +
Verdict Blockbuster
I thought that the series of blockbusters is going to start with bajrangi bhaijaan but tanu weds manu returns has proved me wrong
wow Kangna defeating our khans. Jahan kangna non holiday me jai ho ka record todne wali hai wahin khans abhi bhi holiday ka lolipop chus rahe hai. Non holiday me to khans ki hawa nikal jaati hai. Khans kuch sikho!! Shame on khans and khans followers!!!
fitst gabbar(hit),then piku(superhit) and finally twmr(atbb) wat an extraordinary month this has been for Bollywood
First blockbuster of 2015
Maaria: Akki does’nt need to learn acting from bhai fans,keep ur mouth shut! First let ur bhai do a film like BABY keeping aside his masalagiri.
intriguing collection…..awsmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Kangana u deserve 100 cr+ this time!!!come on….and after Anand L. Rai’s Raanjhanaa; TWMR has captured everyone’s heart once again!!very Happy for All related 2 this film!! #TARGET_is_120cr

Also done very good job otherwise its Monday collection should be low.
kagna is new queen of bollywood
Good
@akki haters,u should understand something-1.the genre.baby was offbeat,gabbar was action.twmr is romcom which connects to bigger audience than action.2.twmr is a post ipl release and sequel of a good film.3.akki doing 4 films per year.even if aamir khan does 4 films per year average will be less than 150 crs.
@arjun youngistaan fan
Vikram bhatt also. Raaz3,ghulam, haunted, Kasur, 1920 1 and 2.
@Aks “Romcom connects with more people than action”are you out of your mind aisa hota toh htp,2 states, hskd would have grossed more than kick, rowdy rathore etc ,atleast give some logical reason for below expected results of baby and gabbar dumbtard loser??
@element by ur logic sajid khan should also b in top10.lol u dumb fool
Tanu Weds Manu Returns whatever lifetime collection will be broken by Brothers in just matter of 4 days…… Akshay fans will have the last laugh.
It cant beat deepika’s ramleela (119 cr)
credit of success also goes to madhavan director anand rai, script & dialogue writer himanshu
