Smile Box Office: Tanu Weds Manu Returns With Rs 22 Cr in Two Days

Tanu Weds Manu Returns, the laugh riot starring Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan, has given the box office a much-needed boost by minting almost Rs 22 crore within the first two days of its release. The film is expected to recover its initial cost of Rs 30 crore in the opening weekend itself.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted

Directed by Aanand L Rai, the film which is a sequel to the 2011 hit film, explores the ups and downs in the relationship of a married couple in a quirky way.

Bollywood films are once again ruling the box office after a lean spell. Aamir Khan’s PK, which released in China last Friday, has shattered box office records again to become the best performing Indian film abroad of all time. Dubbed in Chinese, the film opened in 4,600 screens across the country – one of the widest releases any Indian film has received abroad.

Meanwhile, Shoojit Sircar’s Piku continues to win hearts and is expected to cross Rs 70 crore this weekend.
